Timescape Escape Games Oostende
Reviewed By JNDsmdt - Bruges, Belgium
Fun escape room! We did the quarantine escape room last Saturday and really had a great time. The rooms were lifelike decorated and we had to put on costumes to really identify ourselves within the scenario. The puzzels are fun, not the most difficult, but everyone had their riddles and tasks so teamwork was necessary. Would certainly recommend this escape room!! We'll certainly go back when the second room opens.

I'm not all that interested in fishing, but my visit to the Amandine ended up being one of my favourite attractions in Ostend. Located right near the port, Amandine sailed her last journey in 1995 & is now an enjoyable little museum showing you what life would be like on a fishing vessel in extreme conditions. Fishing in the cold, stormy waters of the south coast of Iceland for months at a time was both physically & emotionally exhausting. The heroic fishermen of Ostend worked long hours, & lived & worked togeter 24/7 in tight quarters. So why did they do it? The catches consiting mainly of Cod, Haddock, Pollack, Red Mullet, Red Sea Bream, Flounder & Scottish Plaice were HUGE - much bigger than what was found in the North Sea. My visit to the Amandine made me realise that I had never really thought about what life would be like on a fishing vessel, let alone one in extreme conditions. I love museums that make you think about things you hadn't previously considered & this one did, so was a worthwhile experience.

A beautiful neo-gothic-style church built in 1907, with soaring spires & distinctive stained-glass windows. It certainly has the wow factor with very ornate stone work, and splendid flying buttresses.

This Three-Master ship is anchored in the marina in front of the train station, & was a seagoing ambassador. It attracted a lot of attention at world exhibitions & ceremonies. It also participated in numerous races & won the Oslo-Ostend race, Some consider it to be the crown jewel of Ostend! The ship is in very good condition, but there are some steep steps during the tour, so if you struggle with mobility in any way, I suggest you avoid going on board.
