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.

Steve and I visited the Atomium, which he filmed, in ’91. Very retro-futuristic. The sleepover thing seems to be a trend, maybe that’s the secret idea behind Michael Jackson’s leprechaun park...?

Yeah, I remember. It's in one of Steve's films as well. Thought it might be interesting for that reason.

I plan to put that film up on my new page when bandwidth permits.
