Europe Onsite Review: Copenhagen — 5 Must-do Experiences for Families

Recommend Standard Image TemplateCopenhagen—5 Must-do Experiences for FamiliesBy Laurel HermanCopenhagen offers a terrific vacation experience for families. This walkable, historic and museum-rich capital city offers families stellar opportunities to share time together at family-friendly museums, castles and entertainment venues. Plus, English is widely spoken, and the local population is diverse and friendly. Recommend your clients buying an official Copenhagen Card - Discover, which for one price includes entrance to 80+ attractions (including the ones mentioned below) as well as free public transport. Each adult can be accompanied by two children up to age 11 free of charge. 1. Tivoli GardensParents and children alike will be enthralled by this amusement park that is loaded with a magical atmosphere and rides for children of all ages from the Classic carousel to the Villa Vendetta. (Must be 12 or older to ride) there is also a large number of food choices to suit any family budget. Tivoli was founded in 1843 and served as a creative inspiration for Walt Disney when he visited. We all know how that turned out! 2. A Canal Tour A wonderful way to see many of Copenhagen’s key sights, including its neighborhoods, is by water. The family will enjoy the open-air boat as they travel through the waterways and canals with a guide explaining all of the attractions and sights including the magnificent Christiansborg Palace and Opera House and The Little Mermaid sculpture, an iconic symbol of Copenhagen. 3. Copenhagen ZooOpen 365 days a year, the renowned Copenhagen Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals from around the globe. Children will learn about and, in some cases, have up-close encounters with pandas, polar bears, giraffes, elephants and more. Adults will appreciate the architecture of the various animal shelters such as the panda habitat, designed by Bjarke Ingles Group. There are also various restaurants at the zoo including one serving the city’s famed smorgasbord (open-faced sandwich) for those who want a classic Danish food experience.4. Explore Castles and PalacesStepping into a castle or palace whose hallowed halls kings and queens once wandered not only brings excitement but is also a great history lesson for the kids. And Copenhagen has five to explore, including Rosenborg Castle, right in the heart of Copenhagen. At Rosenborg Castle alone, families can peruse 400 years of history and treasures of the Danish royal family. 5. Guinness World Records Museum & The Mystic ExploratorieCopenhagen is home to the only Guinness World Records Museum in Europe, and those who step inside will “meet” the world’s tallest man and smallest woman, try the world’s largest Pac-Man game and have fun in the interactive Game Zone. The Mystic Exploratorie, meanwhile, offers an immersive eerie landscape where families can take a seat in an electric chair, “swap” faces with a friend and experience what happens at an abandoned graveyard.
