How do you get to Bellewaerde?
Getting to Bellewaerde
Bellewaerde is in Ypres (Ieper), in the west of West Flanders, close to the French border. According to the park, it's easy to reach from anywhere in Flanders and Wallonia, as well as from northern France and the Netherlands. From the Netherlands, you drive to Ieper via Antwerp and Ghent or via Kortrijk; your satnav will pick the fastest route.
By car
The address for your satnav is Meenseweg 497, 8902 Ieper. The park has two car parks: Parking Leeuw on the Canada and KidsPark side and Parking Mexico on the other side of the park. When you arrive, digital signs along the road direct you to a car park with spaces. After that, follow the directions of the car park staff.
Parking
Parking costs € 12 per car per day online and € 13 at the ticket office. Motorbikes and coaches with groups park for free. A Parking Pass for a year costs € 33 (as of November 2026).
Electric charging
Parking Leeuw has 10 charging points. Bring your own charging cable and charging card; you can't buy a charging card at the entrance.
Motorhomes
Motorhomes and caravans are allowed in the car park (for a fee), but staying overnight is not permitted.
Dropping off or picking up
Just dropping someone off or picking someone up? Drive towards Parking Leeuw and then turn right into the Kiss & Ride zone. There, 15 cars can stop for free for a quarter of an hour.
By bike or public transport
Both car parks have free bike parking. Would you rather come without a car? Take the train to Ieper or Menen and then Lijnbus 80, which drops you off at the entrance. You can read all about it on the page By train and bus to Bellewaerde.
