Looking for Easter activities in Brussels? Museum of Illusions Brussels is open every day of the holiday weekend and offers 60+ illusions -perfect for families, couples, and groups.
Whether you're a Brussels local or visiting the Belgian capital for the long weekend, Museum of Illusions Brussels offers a one-of-a-kind experience that works for everyone: kids, adults, tourists, and first-timers alike.
Why Museum of Illusions for Easter?
Unlike many cultural venues that close on public holidays or run reduced hours, Museum of Illusions Brussels is open every day. That means you can visit on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, or Easter Monday, no risk of arriving at a locked door.
The museum sits right in the heart of Brussels, between Place de la Monnaie and Place De Brouckère, steps away from Rue Neuve and the city's main shopping and dining streets. It's one of the most central locations in the city, easy to reach by metro, tram, or on foot.
What's inside?
More than 60 interactive illusions and exhibits that you experience - not just observe. Interactive rooms, gravity-defying spaces, mind-bending optical illusions, and exhibits where the laws of physics seem to take a long weekend of their own. Every corner is designed to be photographed and shared.
Museum of Illusions isn't a passive experience. You play, laugh, and make memories — which makes it one of the rare Brussels attractions where everyone in the group, regardless of age or interest, leaves genuinely delighted.

Easter tip
This Easter (4–6 April), the museum is hosting two special activities included in the regular ticket price. An Easter Egg Hunt runs throughout the museum on all three days - colourful Easter symbols are hidden among the exhibits, waiting to be discovered. On 4 and 5 April, there is also an Egg Painting Workshop on the second floor, running from 11:00 to 13:00, where children and families can decorate their own Easter eggs. No additional booking or cost required - just show up with your ticket.
After the museum, you're perfectly placed to explore the rest of central Brussels on foot. Rue Neuve is right around the corner for shopping, and the Grand Place is a short walk away - ideal for a late afternoon stroll before dinner. Combine it all with a stop at one of the city's legendary chocolate shops and you have yourself a proper Brussels Easter!
