Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn for the 1958 International
Exhibition of Brussels, the Atomium is a structure that is half way
between sculpture and architecture, symbolising a crystal molecule of
metal by the scale of its atoms, magnified 165 billion times.

It’s the ultimate experience for kids – a night in an alternative
universe at the Kids Sphere Hotel in Belgium. Known as the Atomium, a
replica of an iron molecule with nine aluminum spheres (built for the
World Fair of 1958), the complex has been renovated and updated to
include overnight accommodation for children – dubbed the Kid Sphere
hotel - set amongst the fascinating sci-fi exhibitions and original
spheres. Kids are entertained by a packed calendar of events including
films and there’s a restaurant at the top of the structure boasting
panoramic view of the city of Brussels.
