Bookings are for 1h30 or 2h of play, which makes it easy to adapt the outing to the age of the children and the rhythm of the day. - An activity that works particularly well with older children.
Prison Island is a very good option for families with children who are already autonomous enough to enjoy challenges, timer and cooperation. The concept takes on its full meaning with pre-teens and teenagers.

The team’s opinion
Prison Island is an outing that we easily recommend to families with children already old enough to enjoy challenges and really play together. The career path is dynamic, the cells are varied, and everyone can bring something to the team. For a birthday, a rainy weekend or a different afternoon in the centre of Brussels, this is an address that works very well.
