C mine Genk is today a creative hotspot for artistic talent. In the last century, this site served for coal exploitation and industrial mining. It is an inspiring success story how C mine was transformed from the hotspot of a dying industry into a poster child for the artistic aspirations of Genk and the Limbourg Region in Belgium. This attraction was a highlight of our Limbourg visit with the kids.

The C mine expedition moves from the underground interractive installations to a 60 m tower and then back to the tunnels for a great sesory experience. The children enjoyed exploring evey corner of the place and looking for clues to find the Cyrill the cricket. Unfotunatelly the game is only avavialbe in French and Flemish.

Have you visited a coal mine with the kids? Which was your favourite one?

Happy and safe travels!
