Things to see and do with kids in Copenhagen
Copenhagen Kids Attractions
Visitors travelling with children in Copenhagen will find an abundance of fantastic and exciting attractions geared towards children, making this a wonderful city for the whole family to enjoy. Copenhagen is a safe and friendly city with world-class amenities and Denmark is known for its family values.
A trip to Copenhagen must include a visit to Tivoli Gardens, which boasts beautiful miniature gardens, a theme park with arcade games and rides, and even open-air stages where plays and concerts take place. Another great attraction on warm sunny days is the Bakken Amusement Park, the world's oldest amusement park. The Nature Playground, located at Valbyparken, is also a must for a day out in the sunshine and fresh air, and a good place for a picnic. There are numerous parks and green areas in Copenhagen where families can play and relax.
On colder days, when outdoor activities with kids are not an option, head off to the Denmark Aquarium or the wonderful Copenhagen Zoo, or for something a little more frightening, the Mystic Exploratorie is a fantastic place for kids to be thrilled and perplexed, as is the Experimentarium. For toddlers, the Kompan indoor playground is a wonderland of slides, balls and bright colours to be explored. Children will also enjoy some of the more traditional sightseeing attractions, like the palaces and castles, which delight young imaginations.
