Riveo
13 November 2026
If there is one center dedicated to rivers in Wallonia, it is Riveo! Located in Hotton , this place explores the aquatic life of local waterways. Housed in a semi-underground building, it recreates a river branch with large aquariums showcasing fish such as the tench, nicknamed the doctor fish, the pike, or river shark, or the stickleback, a small builder.
For visitors, interactive activities are available for all ages, including nature walks and workshops led by the staff. Numerous exhibitions are organized throughout the year. An introduction to fishing is offered, with equipment adapted for learning basic techniques.
Around the centre, themed gardens depict different eras: monastic, Moorish, Renaissance. An 18-hole mini-golf course completes the offering for a fun introduction.
The site is accessible to people with reduced mobility, with a lift and picnic tables. A shop sells souvenirs and fishing equipment, and a tourist information point is available. Pets are not allowed. Online booking is available for group or individual visits.
