The world of Kina is the oldest wildlife garden in Flanders. Here you can find out all there is to know about carnivorous plants and hairy tarantulas, or learn how to become a beekeeper. The littlest ones can enjoy themselves in the sensory garden or “Tinkeltuin”, where elves are the guides. In the museum building, you will learn more about plants, spiders, mushrooms and honey bees in interactive exhibitions tailored to children.
