Take a walk in Copenhagen Zoo

Copenhagen Zoo is a sure winner when you visit Copenhagen with the whole family. The zoo offers a wealth of activities for the whole family – and you are guaranteed entertainment and experiences from the moment you step into the zoo. Copenhagen Zoo is ranked fourth among the biggest attractions in Denmark. See the full list of the biggest attractions in the country below.

Dark Sky Park

Dark Sky Park on Møn is one of the few places in Denmark where you can experience a starry night sky without light pollution. Here the beauty of the universe emerges and you can see thousands of stars, the milky way and maybe even a shooting star. The park is perfect for those interested in astronomy and nature lovers who want a unique and enchanting nature experience under an unusually clear sky.

Grandma Ann's Farm

A visitor farm near Gilleleje, where children can meet various farm animals, try pony riding and participate in outdoor games and activities.

Rent a boat

If you are into art and culture, then you should definitely visit the Louisiana Museum Of Modern Art in Humlebæk. The museum unites art, nature, architecture and culture in a beautiful interplay – which is why visitors from near and far travel to Copenhagen to visit the Louisiana Museum Of Modern Art. Read more about upcoming exhibitions, events and opening hours below.

Sea kayaking & Fossil hunting

The waves cause the kayak to rock gently from side to side, while the paddle cuts deep into the water and propels the small boat forward. The coast slowly slips by, but suddenly it changes, because on land, Møns Klint rises up in the landscape with its chalky white limestone surfaces, which stand in stark contrast to the turquoise blue water where the kayak bobs around. It will be a natural history trip that takes the kayakers on a time journey 70 million years back in time, because along the beach the fossils lie and tell that story. It's time to hunt down the past bit by bit.

Hornbæk Beach Playground

Located close to the harbor, this playground offers opportunities to climb, swing, build, and balance. Children can also play captain of their own ship.

Explore Ekkodalen

Lace up your hiking boots and explore Ekkodalen! The spectacular cliffs are an impressive sight, and in some places can be up to 20 meters high. Ekkodalen gets its name from the clear echo that the cliff walls throw back towards the sender – this is especially a big hit with children and childlike souls. Get a guide for your next trip to Ekkodalen below.

See the iconic Little Gardener

At Langelinje Kaj stands one of the country's smallest attractions, but despite the sculpture's size, it is among the most popular attractions in all of Denmark. Take a walk at Langelinje Kaj and see if you can spot the Little Mermaid - but you have to look carefully, because she can be easy to miss.

Møns Klint

Møns Klint is one of Denmark's most spectacular natural experiences. The majestic white chalk cliffs rise up to 128 meters above the Baltic Sea and offer fantastic views and unique hiking trails. The area is also known for its rich flora and fauna, where you can find rare plants and fossils on the beach. Møns Klint is a must-see for nature lovers and adventure seekers who want to experience Denmark's wild beauty.

SUPspot

Offers stand up paddleboarding (SUP) in Hornbæk, a fun and active way for children to explore the water.

Explore Hammershus

Explore Northern Europe's largest castle ruin - you can learn about the ruins' exciting history at the nearby Hammershus Visitor Center. The old medieval fortress is located in beautiful surroundings, where the Bornholm nature really comes into its own. Read more about Hammershus - and get a guide for your next visit below.

Visit the National Museum

Dyrhavsbakken in Klampenborg, just 10 km north of Copenhagen, is a true piece of Danish history that has been a draw for visitors since 1583 – and is thus the world's oldest amusement park! There is always free admission to Bakken, so you only need to pay if you want tour bands or tickets for the rides. Read more about Dyrehavsbakken, the rides and upcoming events below.

Jewelery Museum

The jewelery museum on Møn is a fascinating place where you can experience the history and craftsmanship of jewelery up close. The museum offers a unique collection of both modern and historical jewelery that tells stories about style, culture and personal expression through the ages. Whether you are a jewelry artist or just love beautiful things, the Jewelry Museum is an inspiring visit that highlights the beauty and importance of jewelry.

See the Lifeguard's changing of the guard

Experience the Changing of the Guard of the Royal Life Guards at Amalienborg Palace Square every day at 12:00. The guards march from their barracks at Rosenborg Palace and through Copenhagen to Amalienborg, where they relieve their colleagues. The Changing of the Guard is a grand tradition, often accompanied by a band, and attracts many spectators.

Hop on a trip in Lake Opal

Opal Lake on Bornholm is a very beautiful lake surrounded by steep cliffs, where you can take a relaxing dip or jump into the water from the seven-meter-high cliffs – if you have the temperature and courage with you. Read more about Opal Lake and get tips for your next visit below.

Experience Tivoli in Copenhagen

It is almost impossible to visit Copenhagen without taking a trip to Tivoli Gardens. So it is not surprising that Tivoli Gardens is Denmark's most visited attraction. Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen offers everything from wild roller coasters to gastronomic experiences and breathtaking ballet performances, which are suitable for the whole family.

BonBon Land

BonBon-Land is a popular amusement park located near Næstved, known for its fun and crazy rides that appeal to both children and adults. With more than 60 different rides and attractions, from roller coasters to water slides, there's plenty of fun and excitement for the whole family. The park is known for its humorous and slightly wacky theme, inspired by the original BonBon candies, giving it a unique and entertaining atmosphere. BonBon-Land is an ideal place for a day full of laughs and experiences.

Experience the world's largest diesel engine

DieselHouse

Visit the Experience Center NaturBornholm

Go exploring in the NaturBornholm Experience Center, which offers a wealth of activities for both young and old. You can be taken back in time – and experience both earthquakes and dinosaurs!

Solve mysteries with Urban Hunt
