The Gathering in Schiplaken

Our location in Schiplaken is ideally situated to explore even more activities nearby. We could even call the area the "outdoor hotspot between Mechelen and Leuven" if we want to get fancy. If you're looking for more than just laser shooting, paintball, or bushcraft, all of the following are available nearby...

The high ropes course at Sport Vlaanderen near The Gathering
Just a 10-minute walk away, at our neighbors': 

Sport Vlaanderen Hofstade: It's perfect for us to be right next to this fantastic facility. Here, there's plenty of space for water and other outdoor activities that align perfectly with what we offer in terms of outdoor experiences. For schools and businesses, there are many combination options, but individuals can also come here. In addition to the real action, like mountain biking or the high ropes course, you can simply relax at the beach, explore the beautiful playgrounds, or take a walk through the domain.

Sportimonium on the Sport Vlaanderen domain near The Gathering
Also on the other side

Sportimonium: The Sportimonium provides the perfect yin to our yang. For those looking for a slightly more relaxed activity to complement the more active ones, you can visit the sports museum here. We tested it out, and it's definitely worth a visit! It's the perfect alternative for people in your group who may be less inclined towards sports activities... And it's convenient because you don't need a minimum number of people for this.

We collaborate closely with our neighbors and are more than willing to help you put together combination packages. Just let us know what interests you, and we'll see what's possible!

Zuiderbad at Sport Vlaanderen domain near The Gathering

Zuiderbad: As our friends across the street like to say: with or without a sheepskin, there's always a spot at Zuiderbad for the setting sun and a cocktail, accompanied by a pizza. If we want to savor the sunset ourselves, you'll find us here! :-)

Come to Zuiderbad to enjoy the first or last rays of the sun on the terrace with original bites and delicious drinks.

De zo van Planckendael, op slechts 10 minuutjes rijden van The Gathering
Just about a 10-minute drive away, two more of our favorite activities are:

Planckendael: Have you ever been to the beautiful Zoo Planckendael? It's not only enjoyable to see the many animals but also the playgrounds are absolute gems. It's a relaxing visit for both children and adults, very close by, and always a delightful experience.

Technopolis op slechts 10 minuten van The Gathering

Technopolis: If you're eager to be fascinated by science and technology, then you definitely have to visit Technopolis. It's just one exit away on the E19 from us. If you prefer to have an extra indoor activity to be prepared for all weather conditions, this is the perfect combination with our outdoor options.
