Top things to do with kids in Copenhagen (that parents will love too!)

Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is one of Denmark’s all-time favourite attractions. An enchanting mix of rollercoasters, shows, and charm. It’s the second-oldest amusement park in the world, but still top of the list for family fun!

Dive into an underwater world at the Blue Planet National Aquarium, or Den Blå Planet. It is Northern Europe's largest aquarium and is a total hit with curious kids who love fish, sharks, and touch pools. 

Seek+See puts the fun back into exploring a city, especially for little kids. Help Skyla, the very friendly alien, rebuild her spaceship and get back home. Hunt for spare parts and see Copenhagen's best sites along the way – perfect for the whole family. 

In Copenhagen ZOO, you can meet more than 4,000 fascinating animals and travel between continents in just one day.

The 17th century tower and observatory Rundetaarn, or the Round Tower, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe and this old landmark is favourite among visitors and locals alike.

The Experimentarium is a world-class science center in Hellerup, just 6 km north of Central Copenhagen. The science center truly is a celebration of curiosity, dedicated to playful science and offering hours of fun for the entire familiy.

Play like royalty in the King's Garden! Ride a dragon, explore a fairy-tale playground, catch a puppet show, and grab an ice cream, right next to a real castle, Rosenborg Castle, with crown jewels inside!

Every weekend, kids can dive into creativity at The Children’s Workshop! Each month brings a new theme inspired by the museum’s collections and exhibitions, with plenty of fun materials to explore. Best of all? Children under 18 get in free at the National Gallery of Denmark!

Denmark's National Museum in Copenhagen has exhibitions from the Stone Age, the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Modern Danish History. One section, dedicated especially to the very young museum visitor, is The Children’s Museum where you'll be able to try a trip on a Viking ship and much more.

Walk through glittering royal halls at Christiansborg Palace, then step into a secret garden tucked between kings, queens, and books from The Black Diamond Royal Library.

There are plenty of playgrounds in Copenhagen. Head to Fælledparken, a large park in central Copenhagen, you can mix a bit of (alternative) sightseeing with a lot of fun. Let your kids climb five of the most notable towers of Copenhagen, or take part in some of the towers' interactive plays. In the meantime you can enjoy a cup of coffee (aka. the liquid gold of parenthood) from one of the small coffee carts.

Just 40 minutes from Copenhagen, The Open Air Museum lets kids step into the past and explore old houses, meet farm animals, and walk the village paths of historic Denmark.
