If you want to make the history of Bruges known to the boys, without boring them, rather making them participate, this is a must. Nice also for adults Very interesting also the experience in 3 D that I highly recommend. Last entry at 5 p.m.

This virtual reality experience gives you a good insight into the Bruges of the 14th century. Too bad it only took eight minutes. Highly recommended

The VR experience covers a millenium of history in 8 minutes. Enjoyable, but far too brief. Unfortunately a loud group of kids were seated behind us, and they succeeded in drowning out most of the audio.

It was an interesting 3D insight into Bruges' medieval past. Technically it wasn't top-notch but still very good. It's also specifically designed for children who want to learn more about European history without boring them.

What i didn't realise until i go there was the virtual reality and the museum were separate things and needed separate tickets, they were very good there and just charged us the extra we would have paid had we bought a combined ticket with them. The VR experience is very good and explains how Brugges came to being and why so many canals. It's a relatively short presentation, about 15 minutes all told and you just sit and look around you. The VR experiance isn't essential for the museum story, where the myseum is a better buy if your short on time and can only do one thing. Something that's not obvious is that you can get to the first floor bar free of charge which has a fantastic view over the main square and some fantastic beers on tap. The cherry fruit beers a must.

I do not understand until now what the fictional story of Ana and a parrot has to do with the city.The view is beautiful, the price is very high, but this story could be taken.

The sale of this product was very misleading. This was only an 8 minute virtual reality tour. The one hour tour was not included.

So far I've had one VR experience in Split, Croatia, which was on a whole other level and comparing this to it was rather disappointing. The story could have been longer and more interesting, and the quality of the movie was very poor (simple graphics, blurry picture, buffering sign between the movie segments). It didn't help that this all takes place in the main hallway, so apart from hearing the sound of the movie, there are all the time voices of numerous visitors in the background, which kills the experience additionally. All in all, I am sorry, but I wouldn't recommend this. Visited the tower, with a nice view of the square - this saved the experience a bit.

The basic idea of starting with a Van Eyck painting to trace the history of the city is quite original. Now be careful if you expect to see a step by step reconstruction of the city you are far from the count. It is in fact an animation in period costume with synthetic images in background distilled in different rooms arranged in an era according to the parts of the story. Since I expected a full reenactment with explanations about the city I was disappointed. The price of 12 euros is high enough for the 30 minutes of entertainment for the shot.

Short, but sometimes fun to do. Because of the 3D effect you really feel like you are in the story. Definitely do with kids!
