The beloved autoworld.... They have regular changes in special displays - usually anniversaries of a model or maker. 

Top quality motors in there and it's a partially working museum as they do a lot of maintenance and restoration around the back and sometimes in the display garage in the main hall..... 

Same with the air museum opposite - hope you had time to get in there too.... Cafe is fantastic and the resto work going on is a joy to behold.

Pity I'm not there fella - next weekend - typically

OK - so as you enter the park from Merode..... The main arch is central... 

Left side - Autoworld.... Fantastic collection and ever changing displays with almost every Belgian club and collector donating/loaning vehicles on a rotation. 

Right side - War and Air Museum. Going over the civil war of Belgium and the World Wars.... A collection of tanks in the main courtyard. End main massive hall is filled with single seater aircraft, warbirds, special forces gear, arctic expedition stuff, helicopters and fighter jets etc....  A lot to take in. 

Both sides have working sections of their main areas that are regularly occupied with ongoing restoration projects. 

The volunteers at both do a cracking job aamd are extremely helpful amd friendly. 

Definitely worth a day and only 70m apart so not exactly a massive walk. 

Local clubs use the cobbled Central area for gatherings all the time so you can regularly just walk into a car show for no apparent reason. 

The shops, especially in Autoworld - can be wallet crippling.....
