On a quest with Margaret

Take your (grand)children back to the time when Princess Margaret of Austria lived in Mechelen. During this fun quest you will learn more about her step-grandmother’s zoo, discover why she had the fish market moved and pay a visit to Klapgat. And at the end, you hand over the solutions in exchange for a nice surprise!

TIP: Adults can go for a walk with the ear trumpet while the children solve the tasks in this brochure. More information about the listening walk 'If walls could talk' can be found here.
