Hi Iain
There are different institutions on the observatory site in Uccle near
Brussels (the planetarium is somewhere else) See
https://www.astro.oma.be/en/.
I have regularly some meetings with peoples of the Belgium Institute for
Space Aeronomy there, so i'm going to ask them if there is something to
visit for the public on this Uccle site. I'll keep you informed.

On a related note, some trivia that might be of interest.
The master pendelum clocks is still in their basement in Observatoire
Royal de Belgique, I've seen them. They have their dedicated
heating-system to help control the temperature, ovenizing the whole
basement building (the clocks are in a separate house within the
basement room.
Very interesting. I've been looking at their website, and saw mention of
the planetarium,is there anything else there for the public, such as a
visitors centre or is it just the planetarium ?
[From the website, it looks very much like it is still very much an
operational scientific institution, and I wouldn't want to get in the
way of that, but I am in Belgium every year for the Formula One, and
always stop off in Brussels/Leuven and sample the local...hospitality
