Natural history museum
Museums
Naturama is a contemporary museum featuring a diverse collection of taxidermy, including whale skeletons, birds and wild boars. It offers an immersive experience for visitors with sounds of nature and different atmospheres created on each floor. The exhibit boasts many species of animals and is highly recommended for children, as well as adults. The polite and talented staff speaks fluent English, making the sightseeing experience easier with descriptions available in English too.
Interesting place where you get a lot of good information about the animals in and around Denmark. The staff is ready to answer any questions you may have. In addition to all that you can read about the animals yourself, small presentations are also given by the staff, which is quite exciting.

A mixture of modern hands-on natural history museum and historical collection. Most of the exhibit descriptions are available in Danish, English and German. Very nice service staff. Good bad weather alternative for nearly half a day.

Soso natural history museum. Some elevators were not working, so hard to get around with stroller. Gift shop placed too conveniently at the entrance, so kids get excited for overpriced toys before they even enter. Staff in cafe was friendly.

The Great Belt Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks

The Great Belt Bridge is an impressive 18km-long structure that connects the islands of Zealand and Funen in Denmark. It incorporates a stunning suspension bridge, often compared to the elegance of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and is a popular route for road travel, with an option for discounted toll prices using BroBizz.
The biggest hanging bridge between Fyn and Sjælland. You can also take railroad trip aswell as motor traffic. It’s an amazing bridge I wished weather was better to take better pics and videos but since not so ;( . If you don’t want to stick in line by paying so it’s best idea get Brobizz and register nummer plate and past faster . For now it’s costing to use bridge and it’s little expensive but after 30 years of made dato will be free as they saying ✌️
Emre U — Google review
Ludicrously Expensive. You have to treat this as an attraction, I.e. an experience that you're paying for. As such, enjoy the view, get your passengers to take photos, and if you can, head to the free parking at the Isbådsmuseet on the Sjælland side to get a different view. We took our car from Scotland, so we had the unique experience of a rare RHD going over. 230kr. One way, though (£26 GBP). At that price, I wouldn't like it to be my regular commute.
L E — Google review
First thing - it's quite expensive, 230DKK is nothing cheap for simple bridge you will pass in few minutes. But it is good shortcut and interesting landmark. You can stop by next of some small (free) boat museum and enjoy the view, if you don't have rainy weather like we did.
Václav S — Google review
Adore it — Storebæltsbroen is more than an engineering icon — it cut travel time across Denmark by over an hour and symbolically united the country’s eastern and western regions. The eastern suspension bridge carries rail and road decks on separate levels, with cables containing ~18k individual steel wires—enough to circle the Earth nearly four times. Each pylon stands on caissons sunk into the seabed with millimeter accuracy, built to endure winds of 80 m/s and ship collisions up to 300000 tons.

I have used the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark a few times, which connects Zealand and Fyn islands. It's an incredible piece of architecture with stunning sea views. Spanning a total of 18 km, it's the longest bridge in the region. If you use BroBizz, you can get a discounted toll price. Driving across at 110 km/h, the experience is truly enjoyable with breathtaking panoramic views. Highly recommend for anyone driving between the islands!

07/19/2025@10:00 pm: Payment Impossible, no service contact available and no one takes care of toll gates. Police had to be called because service number was not operating at night. Total mess other direction one toll gate got destroyed. Due to it is not foreseen for foreigners to pay other than by card or by cash a long trafic jam was resulted. This is tourist unfriendly because other toll gates support online based pre-paid systems. Additional confusion because payments randomly only worked after double payment and following vehicles were confused if to go or stay and ask police if to pass unpaid or wait. In case of an emergency the non working payment systems could cause a potential security risc from resulted traffic jams because in case of emergency help will arrive with a long delay. Think over and change it!

The Great Belt Bridge is a multi-element fixed link crossing the Great Belt strait between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It consists of a road suspension bridge and a railway tunnel in the middle of the Great Belt, and a box-girder bridge for both road and rail traffic. The total length is 18 kilometres.

Egeskov Castle is a 16th-century turreted and moated castle located in Denmark, representing the opulence of the country's 'Golden Age'. Visitors can explore furnished rooms inside the castle and wander through its expansive 15-hectare garden, which features family-friendly activities such as treetop rope courses, mazes, and a playground. The estate also houses museums displaying an impressive collection of antique vehicles.
What a fantastic experience! With several big creative playgrounds and great Interactive exhibitions. Ranging from classic cars and motorbikes to tours of the renaissance castle, with a lot of history to soak you into a brilliant day in the castle garden where you can see alot of different gardenv varieties and end up getting lost in the huge labyrinth.

A lovely castle, gardens museum and play areas. I went most looking forward to the castle but was pleasantly surprised by the size of the play area and the museum and particularly the collection of historical cars. The amount of activities for younger kids to keep them busy was great as well with lots of variety.
James A — Google review
I would give 10 stars if I could. Initially thought the cost was a bit steep compared to other places we'd visited in Denmark. Enjoyed the gardens but hadn't expected the displays if vintage/old and very interesting cars, bikes, motorbikes, helicopters to be so extensive. 2 whole 'sheds' contained exhibits that were covered in dust as insufficient room to display.
Mark W — Google review
Great place with many things to do. We spend 4 hours there, enjoying the impressive castle, the beautiful garden and the kids attractions: Maze, trampoline, playing ground and three tree top walking trail.

Visiting Egeskov Castle was one of the highlights of my trip to Denmark. Nestled in the beautiful countryside of Funen, this place is so much more than just a historic castle—it's a full-day experience packed with charm, culture, and fun for all ages. The castle itself is absolutely stunning, with its fairytale-like architecture surrounded by a peaceful moat. Walking through the beautifully preserved rooms feels like stepping back in time

A grand place for the family. Cars, motorcycles, history, gardens and facilities for a full days entertainment is all at Egeskov. Egeskov has a very large visitor capacity, so don't be worried if you see a full parking lot. It can easily handle the crowds. Great playgrounds for the little ones and lots of interesting things for the grown ups. Highly recommended.
Badger — Google review
Castel and its garden and other exhibitions were really nice. In the castel you can see some old clothes, hunting room, toys… Also the garden and playground is really good. In garage you see many old cars, bikes, motorcycles… I was maybe a bit disappointed in camping equipment… it felt a bit too commercial. But for sure I would recommend a visit. Maze was amazing and not as easy as one might think. We stayed 3h.

Nyborg Castle – The Medieval Heart of Denmark Closed for visitors until 2028. But take a walk on the rampants to get an impression. Step into 800 years of Danish history at Nyborg Castle, once home to kings and the medieval parliament, the Danehof. Built around 1200, it hosted Denmark’s first constitution in 1282 and later became one of the kingdom’s strongest fortresses. From royal residence to military garrison, the castle has seen it all. Today, it’s undergoing an ambitious restoration with a new museum wing opening in 2028. Explore its rich past, enjoy views over the Great Belt – and don’t miss a walk along the ramparts with their impressive cannons.

(Translated by Google) Very fine church built over several periods. Quite old in the original parts. Both church and mausoleum are open. There is a small labyrinth in the grass behind the church. (and it's not very difficult 😁) You don't see round churches in many places, so for that reason alone, it can be interesting. Friendly staff. (Original) Meget fin kirke bygget over flere perioder. Ganske gammel i de oprindelige dele. Både kirke og mausoleum er åbent. Der er en lille labyrint i græsset bag kirken.

The Funen Village

Mentioned on

History museum
Museums
Nestled just outside the bustling city center of Odense, The Funen Village, or Den Fynske Landsby, is a captivating open-air museum that transports visitors back to the 19th century. This enchanting destination features over 25 meticulously preserved half-timbered houses and historical buildings that reflect rural Danish life during Hans Christian Andersen's era. As you stroll through this picturesque village set against a stunning natural backdrop, you'll gain insight into the cultural and historical roots of Funen.
This an interesting place to see the older style architecture of Denmark developed as if a village and all contained in a relatively small area. The adjoining restaurant/cafe provides tasty food and drinks, so also worth a visit.

Karthika L — Google review
One of the most interesting and enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. The farm buildings are so full of cool things to see and learn about, I could go back many times. My only comment, and this is not a criticism by any means, is without historical interpreters - the places feels somewhat listless. Granted that takes staffing and money- both of which are hard to come by, but I’d say that this visit made my entire Denmark vacation worthwhile.
Syd M — Google review
A great experience, a small Danish Pompeii of the 1700-1800. Talk with the old people here and there, they really offer great gems on history and knowledge, I finally understood why old danish houses are done the way they were done. Great for kids also. Highly recommended for anyone doing an on the road holiday through Danemark.

A nice way to explore the past. A relaxing atmosphere and super chill farm animals. It's a good way to experience nature and fresh air, see some super interesting old buildings and have some exercise. Lots of place to eat what one brings from home but I'm glad we forgot ours and experienced the restaurant inside
Anna R — Google review
The Funen Village is worth a visit. You travel back in time to see how life was like in the 1800s. You get to go into pretty much all the buildings and get a real feeling how it was like to live in these structures. It’s also pretty cool that they have some farm animals here as well. The entrance to this place is through the modern looking building close to the main road. Parking is plentiful.

With regular feeding times and special experiences such as overnight stays for families, it's no wonder why Odense Zoo has been named one of the best small zoos in Europe.

Super nice zoo, the animals are well taken care of and they have a good time here. The park is nice to walk through, sometimes it is a little impossible to follow the main trail via the map.

For me I feel that the enclosures could be a little bigger but I am not an expert after too course.

H. C. Andersens House

Mentioned on

Museum
Children's museum
H. C. Andersen's House, located in Odense, Denmark, is a museum dedicated to the life and works of the renowned Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The museum offers a comprehensive and modern experience that provides insight into Andersen's extraordinary life, placing his achievements in historical context with engaging audiovisual material and unique exhibits. Visitors can explore the quaint surroundings of the former poor quarter where Andersen was born and immerse themselves in the cultural heritage of the city.
This was indeed a magical experience. Please take your time to fully enjoy all of the unique exhibits that this museum has to offer. It's enjoyable for the entire family. There is also a nice bookstore on site. Pictures are nice, but the museum really is best enjoyed in person. It's not too far from Copenhagen either, and Odense has other things to see besides the museum. It was definitely worth the trip.

Truly magical and indeed very interactive experience. One of the best museum I have ever visited. The story telling,lighting, the ambience everything felt right into the place. I even had a chance to draw and make a silent book for myself which I believe is one of the unique souvenir that I could ever get. I could spent hours and hours without getting bored. I never thought visiting a museum could be this much interesting.
Mythri K — Google review
Loved it. Great experience for younger ones and still kept us parents interested. The place tells the story of the life of Hans Christian Anderson. Through the main part of the museum you can use these audio guidebooks which were great at also keeping our 4 and 6 year old engaged. The audio bits were easy to do and didn't last too long. Maybe a minute or two maximum for most (a complaint I have for other places like this is sometimes they drone on and on, but this was a great length and lots of them to do). At the end of the main museum there is this great bit which is more interactive for kids as well. After this there is the children's wonderland which had last of roleplay sections and a lot of great quality dress up stuff. And also they had a craft section as well. Staff were friendly throughout. My only complaint was there were no books in the shop I could see in English. Did seem to have other languages though. All in all great place to visit, particularly with kids.

Probably the biggest tourist attraction in Odense, so definitely needs a visit. Well laid out, with a detailed history of his life first, followed by a wonderland of activities for the kids (thank God they didn't do this bit first otherwise you'd never get the kids round the rest of it!) Well curated, and the audio guide worked flawlessly. TBH I hadn't really heard of the fella, but still enjoyed a couple of hours here!

Chang-Chih S — Google review
Danish Author 'Hans Christian Andersen' was born in Odense 1805, and is best remembered for his literary fairy tales. He had moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, when he was barely 14, to seek employment as an actor. After being told that he sounded like 'being a good poet', Anderson started focusing on writing. Jonas Collin director of the Royal Theater, personally focused on ensuring that Anderson got serious education. His famous fairy tales include 'The Emperor's New Clothes', 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Nightingale', 'The Princess and the Pea', 'The Ugly Duckling', 'Thumbelina' etc. So much so, that his fascinating stories have inspired ballets, plays, and live-action films. I personally think that 'Sad is the life, which is devoid of furtive imagination, but which can become fruitful, after being a-lit by the lore's of Great Writers'. Since, my travels always leads me to the local Book shops, needless to add that I took the opportunity of rummaging through the racks full of his written works and chose a few to carry them home, to include them in my personal library and ensuring that those deprived of such wonderful fairy tales, will enjoy reading them at galore.
Neeru D — Google review
This was one of the most incredible "museum" experiences. It was a creative journey through the imagination of the great mind of H. C. Andersen! So much time and effort has gone into each display, making it colourful, interactive, fun and interesting, all while telling the great story of his life. The audio guide is the most advanced I have personally used, and was done in a way to keep you captivated and moving along the building. A great experience for families and I highly recommend it.
Annika T — Google review
There is something profoundly unsettling, almost metaphysical, about entering the H.C. Andersen House Museum in Odense. This is not a museum in the ordinary sense, but a kind of sanctuary for a soul that wandered through life as an exile, even in the midst of admiration and applause. Here, one is not simply walking through curated rooms but descending into the deep caverns of a man’s yearning: his hunger for love, for beauty, for meaning in a world that so often offered him none. Hans Christian Andersen’s life was one of quiet tragedy. Born into poverty, plagued by physical awkwardness, and possessed of an almost painful sensitivity, he moved through the world with the wide, searching eyes of a child who never stopped longing. And yet, this child grew into a man whose most intimate desires were never fulfilled. It is likely — though veiled in the gentility of the time — that he was homosexual, or at least deeply drawn to men in a way that society punished with silence. The letters he left behind read like confessions: full of yearning, obsession, loneliness. There is no record of requited love. None. And so, he wrote. But not for children — not truly. Andersen’s tales are often mistaken for sweet bedtime stories, when in truth they are parables of suffering, of moral endurance, of love crushed beneath the weight of indifference and fate. The Little Match Girl dies in the cold, her final visions a last rebellion against a brutal world. The Snow Queen is not a villain, but a symbol of ice that forms in the human heart when warmth is denied. And The Steadfast Tin Soldier — mute, deformed, and noble — burns silently in the fire, still standing, still in love, and no one sees. This museum dares to embrace that darkness. It doesn’t flinch. In its quiet corners and haunting visuals, one finds not the fairytale castles of childhood but the long corridors of the soul. It is a Dostoyevsky-style place where suffering reveals truth, and beauty is inseparable from pain. Odense itself is charming, as though frozen in the innocence that Andersen longed for but never found. But here, in this museum, we confront not the child Andersen, but the man: the weeping dreamer in a cold room, writing his way through the void.

The Danmarks Jernbanemuseum, also known as the Danish Railway Museum, is a must-visit for train enthusiasts. Located near Odense's main train station, it boasts an impressive collection of over 50 meticulously restored steam and diesel locomotives, carriages, model railways, and railway memorabilia. Notable exhibits include King Christian IX's royal carriage and a diverse range of engines and wagons dating from 1868 to 1981.
It's nice and cozy. Not too big, but you can easily spend there 2 hours. There's a small train, that you can go with your kids. And it's a real paradise for those who are fond of trains.

Absolutely an awesome experience! Definitely worth a visit if you're into trains and locomotives. They have around five steam trains and seven large old diesel locomotives, including the MY, MX, and MZ classes. There's also a bunch of other cool trains—some you can even ride! You can learn a lot about the history of the Danish railway, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. In short: The best railway museum in Denmark!

Best museum I’ve been! How can someone give less than 5 stars? Trains that you can board on, detailed descriptions, amazing playground, mini train for kids and grownups, pretend play area with costumes upstairs, clean toilets and changing tables, vintage bus tour that takes us around the town, friendly helpful staff at the gift shop who patiently explained to me the characters and themes of each Danish picture book. Ticket gives you unlimited entries all day; we actually went back for another mini train ride. I can’t wait to come back again!

I really wouldn’t have thought so, but this is a great museum for people of all ages. We began our visit with a tour with the mini train that runs every hour. If you are an adult and visit without kids, I would still recommend that you take the train. It’s an experience in itself! The museum itself is vast. We arrived around midday and ran out of time when the museum closed at 16:00 o clock. I would try to arrive earlier next time to be able to see more of it. There are several sections that are very interesting - ferries for trains, the royal carriages, old steam engines. I would gladly come again. Kids can enter free of charge!

The Danish Railway Museum in Odense was probably one of the most informative and fun railway/train museum that we’ve been to… The museum is shaped like a semi-arch and spans 2 levels along with some outdoor areas. The reason for the semi-arch design is because there’s a turn-table in the middle that is able to bring trains in and out of the premise. This gives the museum some flexibility in rotating its exhibits. Here, you’ll be able to check out some really old trains in the 1800s to the newer ones in the 1900s and even the train used by the Danish Royals. Some of them allow you to board as well, seeing up close what it was like. During our visit, there were 2 special exhibitions... For the full details of our 5 months Round The World RTW travels, visit 2bearbear today!

A good mix of stuff for children and adults. I got there just as it opened and it was quiet and peaceful. My only feedback would be for more platforms to allow closer view of the steam engines, although I understand that it might be difficult with HSE concerns.

A beautiful museum. There's a lot to see and even a chance to board the trains. There's a wonderful puzzle at the end, which rounds off the visit nicely. Definitely plan a visit.

Thank you so much. Me and my friend drove from sweden to visit this car museum, because our big interest is car museums, and what an amazing experience! The two guides Anders and Søren was very friendly and did till interesting stories about all cars. Also the owner Jørgen Strøjer did arrive and spoke a litteratur bit for us. And the car collection was the best I've seen. So many unique cars and all of them in absolute perfect condition! I really recommend this to all car people out there.

This has to be one of the most peaceful places I've ever been to! The scenes are truly amazing. When I visited, there were very few people around. There was complete silence, and all you can hear are the waves crashing onto the beach or some of the little small birds in the area. The loop is about 2.4km and is steep at parts, so good footwear is advised but not a necessity. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area.

Just wow!!!! Such an beautiful place. You only hear nature sounds here, it feels like you're away from the world for a moment. We read that some people saw dolphins but we were sceptic about this. But..... we actually saw dolphins!!!! Sooo cool, they showed themselves During 15 minutes and it was extra cool since we did not expect this. So if you visit this place, make sure you check the water!

Trapholt Museum for Modern Art and Design is a must-visit for design enthusiasts, showcasing a diverse range of visual arts, crafts, and furniture design exhibits. Located in Kolding's residential northeastern outskirts, the museum features classic artworks from Skagen artists, vibrant modern pieces, and a sculpture garden. The ace furniture collection includes covetable Danish chairs by iconic designers like Hans Wegner, Verner Panton, and Arne Jacobsen.
Great place to explore with family, quite diverse things to see and some of the exhibition allow to be actually used, for kids especially the Nanna Ditzel space is awesome. Kids also get free entry, and parking is free - we spent 2 lovely hours there

Deepal S — Google review
Trapholt always puts on very interesting exhibitions and Feel me is well worth a visit. Daniel Wurtzel's piece Air Fountain in particular makes the trip exceptional but there are many other wonderful works included which means that you should go. If you have time and spare cash for a visit to the cafe then that's recommended as well. It may seem dear at first glance but you get value for money with good food and sizeable portions. Don't forget to grab a piece of cake if you have room for it (we didn't 😂). After lunch make sure you stick your head out into the lovely grounds which offer rich beds of flowers at the right time of year (we were there in July), and beautiful views of the sea all year round.
Grith S — Google review
I recently visited Trapholt in Kolding with my parents and my girlfriend, and despite not being someone who regularly visits modern art museums, this experience turned out to be a truly pleasant surprise. Trapholt is beautifully located near the water and has a light, open architecture that makes it feel welcoming and easy to explore. The layout of the museum is very visitor-friendly, and it was a joy simply walking through the space. Many of the exhibitions invited a kind of semi-interactive experience, which made the visit feel more engaging and personal. During our visit, we saw two major exhibitions: Michael Kvium – Skyggeteater (Shadow Theatre) and Mie Olise Kjærgaard – Agile Aggressions. Kvium’s work was, as always, thought-provoking and slightly unsettling, exploring the darker sides of human nature through dramatic imagery and strong symbolism. Mie Olise Kjærgaard’s exhibition, on the other hand, felt more abstract and experimental, and it invited us into a colorful and chaotic universe that was both playful and aggressive, in the best possible sense. One of the highlights of the day was visiting the Arne Jacobsen summerhouse, which is an integral part of the museum’s permanent collection. This full-scale house was designed by the famous Danish architect and designer in the 1950s, and walking through it was like stepping into a living design catalog. The house is a unique example of modernist architecture and functionalist design, with every detail—furniture, color palette, materials, and layout—carefully thought out. It showcases Jacobsen’s ability to combine simplicity with elegance, creating a space that feels both practical and deeply aesthetic. For anyone with even a passing interest in design or architecture, the summerhouse is an absolute must-see. All in all, Trapholt offered an inspiring and relaxed art experience that felt approachable even for someone not deeply immersed in the world of modern art. It’s a place I would definitely recommend—and one I wouldn’t hesitate to return to.

The science museum is free to enter and you could certainly have a great time in here. The museum seems to be more targeted for a younger audience than for adults who aren't parents. Parents will probably have a good time here with their childrens. I have not seen all of it and left early as I felt like it wasn't meant for me but for kids. Therefore I gave a 3 / medium rating as I didn't saw everything. The place is wheelchair accessible and bad walkers, their is an elevator for those who needs it too. There are several staircases throughout the building and rooms each with their own display. Some rooms are harder to access for wheelchairs users. Make sure to visit this place if you have children or early teen with you!

Industrimuseet, established in 1977, is a Labor, Crafts and Industry Museum that narrates the industrial progress in Horsens since 1850. Despite being primarily in Danish, it offers an immersive experience of old Danish professions and living. The museum showcases historical industrial processes on-site, including workers' households from the 1920s to 2000. Visitors can explore shops, apartments, machine areas, and workshops without any restrictions.
Unexpectedly great museum! It offers all kinds of historical industrial processes on site, including the households of workers, which were really great. Ranging from the 1920ies till 2000. They created exactly the atmosphere of the ages they describe. The greatest thing is that you can enter in the shops, the apartments, the machine areas and all workshops. No alarms ringing, no worries that one would steal an old Abba album! Amazing feeling to be back in those times! Very spacious outdoor area and great industrial playground. Suitable for young until early teenager age. Cafe looked good, but we did not get to enjoy it as we were absorbed in the museum one needs at least two to three hours to really enjoy it. Very much worth to visit!

This prison museum was incredibly interesting and left a deep impression. I found every section engaging, with new and informative displays around each corner. The basement was the most impactful part for me — especially the photo of a former prisoner, which really stayed with me. Most of the written information is available in English, making it easy to follow along. However, the films are all in Danish, so keep that in mind if you don’t speak the language. Overall, a powerful and well-designed museum that I definitely recommend visiting.

Moesgaard Museum, located 10km south of the city, is a modernist museum that emerges from the ground with a spectacular design. The museum houses exhibits spanning various eras, from the Stone Age to the Viking era, featuring well-preserved artifacts and archaeological displays. One of its star attractions is the 2000-year-old Grauballe Man.
♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = medium / long size. The place is in a good beautiful natural environment and it's pretty calm. There are many parking lots. Their is a wheelchair accessible door and parking lot outside (close to the building). The elevator is in a good size for most wheelchair users. This place is truly worth visiting and you will need 4-5h or more to see all of it. The building is gigantic from both inside and outside. There are many benches to rest, has audio (headphones), lots of projectors and display, there's a few interactions. The walking way is for most part wheelchair accessible and only some parts or area it may be tight or not accessible but even then it's more than 4h of exploring. Some things look like you have already seen or are repetitive but it goes from the Viking age to iron and other evolutions. Restaurant may be a bit on the pricey side and there is a roof you can go on to admire the view. Their is a souvenir shop but I haven't found anything of interest or is too much for my liking. The museum is great to check out.

This lives up to every expectation set; accessible, huge, interactive, fun for kids, insightful, visually stunning and such an education. The Celtic exhibition was really special, and the attention to detail was incredible. The thought that has gone into these exhibitions means it's somewhere I will always come back to when I visit the area. I've read about the performances also outside which look incredible too.

To see each and every part of museum, you need at least 4hr max more then that. Really a awesome place to visit at weekend. Entire museum goes like a movie, each and every place you can find explanation.

What a wonderful museum! Great display of Viking as well as middle ages relics. Nice life-size diorama. Very good films. Everything with English text and/or English audio. Nice experimental things for kids to playfully learn with. The building itself is a work of art. The tour I took, in German, about the life of the Vikings was so-so to useless (if you have watched Vikings or Valhalla, then you don't need to take the tour (not worth the money... it costs extra).

I visited Moesgaard Museum on a weekday, and it was absolutely fantastic. You can easily spend many hours here, both indoors and outdoors. The surrounding nature is stunning, and the museum itself is a true gem for anyone interested in history and architecture. A highly recommended place to visit – I would gladly return🤩

Super interesting museum, huge place with lots of different depictions and quite a bit of story behind every corner of it. Would recommend dedicating a full day to it as there is a lot to see. The Grauballe Man, which is a bog body older than 2000 years, is really a special thing to see.

Absolutely worth visiting — one of the best museums I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to many). You can’t get the real feeling just by looking at pictures; you need to hear, touch, and explore here. I agree that it might not be the best choice for small children, but with enough time, parents can still make it interesting for them. Plan for at least five hours (or more), and it’s a good idea to take a few breaks — or even split your visit over a couple of days. It would be great if there were a playground, like in IKEA, where parents could leave their kids for a couple of hours. I don’t expect to find German or other translations in every museum, so I’m very grateful that everything here is translated into English. Thank you for the great work! We’ll definitely come again, and I’ll be recommending this museum to my friends.

A wonderful and fascinating place — a must-see! I would give 5 stars, but there’s no section suitable for small children, which makes it a bit difficult for families with young kids.

Public library
Sights & Landmarks
Dokk1 is a cultural center and the main branch of the Aarhus Library, located in a striking waterfront building. It offers a modern public space perfect for nocturnal exploration and cultural events, with ambient lighting and architectural grandeur by the harbor.
Dokk1 in Aarhus is a wonderful destination for anyone, whether you’re with family, a partner, or exploring on your own. Nestled right by the harbor, this library offers stunning views through its expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, creating a serene and inspiring space to read, work, or simply relax. Inside, the library is designed to be both modern and inviting, with plenty of cozy nooks for quiet reading and workspaces that feel open and filled with natural light. The outdoor playground is fantastic for kids, with interactive installations and plenty of space for them to explore. The coffee shop is another highlight, serving up rich, quality coffee alongside a nice selection of pastries, making it easy to stay and enjoy the space for hours. Dokk1 isn’t just a library—it’s a community space that feels vibrant yet calming, with the perfect mix of bustling areas and quiet corners. We loved the place so much that we went twice during our 3-day visit to Aarhus!

When it comes to the space where you can feel the best local feeling, I choose the library. I always visit the city's library wherever I go, but this place felt very family-friendly. Rather than borrowing a book, I felt like I was spending time with my family here and spending the day. The library itself was not a big one. However, to be in a place where you can see the beautiful sea, you will feel good.

A pretty nice and large library with many options for entertainment. A lot of college students like to go down there to review their work or just relax with a book or their multitude of games. There’s both consoles (Which you need to ask to be opened) and other options for games. Back in the days it used to have more classic consoles, which unfortunately don’t seem to be there anymore, at least to my knowledge. As a local I’d recommend going if you have nothing to do in town.

The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is a prominent art museum located in Aarhus, Denmark. It houses an extensive collection of Danish art from the 18th century to contemporary works, as well as a diverse foreign collection featuring renowned artists from various countries. The museum's striking exterior resembles a floating red-brick box and spans ten storeys.
Lovely Art Museum with a lot of modern art. They have a significant collection of Danish artists. Currently there is a Picasso and others on the display. You can also see Andy Warhol’s art there. On the top of the building there is a Rainbow Panorama which is very interesting. Art is spread over 10 floors in the building. Parking is not a problem around the museum. Inside you can have a coffee and a light meal.

The building itself is pretty cool. Some of the exhibitions are nice. They have headphones but only in Danish. The roof top sky walk is fun to take photos of.

suppose I hate modern art as most of this was dreadful to my eyes. I did like the landscape paintings and a few others but most of it was weird, bad or just utter nonsense. The two women cutting onions was the biggest joke they called art. I don’t get the rainbow roof either, so what? It’s tinted glass, for kids or Instagram/TikTokers it may be good but not for adults.

♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = small / medium sized The aarhus art museum is what I was looking forward to see for awhile now and I got the chance to do it today. I was a bit disappointed from the expectations as they do have 10 floors but in reality only 7-8. The highest floor has the rainbow colored glass and This is definitely the best part of the museum in my opinion. 2 levels below it as the human art which was decent. The floor below it was okay. And all the other floors wasn't worth checking out. 2 floors were for a younger audience. So if you're going as a family it may be worth visiting all the floors. If you're all adults. You may not stay there for super long. They have a cafeteria and toilets as well as Free WiF, they have a button that slows down the rotating door which is good for bad walkers or wheelchair usersi. It's not a bad place but not a super interesting one either in my opinion.
Crafo — Google review
Beautiful museum. A lot of stairs, but there are elevators available for people with difficulty to walk. We loved the interactive art area. We appreciated that the front desk employee warned us for a scarier exposition on the third floor, since we brought our child. That way we could avoid it. What could have made the experience so much better would be if they’d implement a play area for young children. Young kids can get bored or overwhelmed and it would be nice if they could de-stimulate in a play area/child friendly area. That way someone can watch the kids in the play area while the other can enjoy art in peace. The rainbow panorama is very noisy. This could trigger you if you’re sound sensitive. Best is to bring some kind of noise cancelling for a better experience. There was so much amazing art in this museum. It’s definitely worth a visit. Parking is a bit difficult. We went on a workday and there were very few parking spots available.

Walking into ARoS feels like entering a soul. Not a building. A soul. There’s this weight in the air — not heavy like sadness, but like meaning. Like emotion stretched out over canvas and sculpture. Like a mirror you didn’t ask for, but couldn’t look away from. 🪞💔 You walk past massive human forms, surreal tunnels, and sometimes... just emptiness. But the kind that makes you want to cry and laugh and fall in love all at once. Every room feels like an emotion you once had — or tried to forget. 😭💗🖤 And then… then there’s the rainbow panorama. The city is below you, silent, distant, still... and you’re walking through color. Through emotion. Through perspective. Through the prism of your own heart. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Every step changes how you see the world. How you see yourself. You start yellow, full of joy. Then blue… melancholic. Red… passionate. Green… calm. It's like mood rings for the soul. I walked that circle three times. Once with wonder. Once with longing. Once just to cry. 🌈🔁🫂 This isn’t just art. It’s emotional warfare. It rips you open and stitches you back up with neon thread. 🧵✨

This museum is a hidden gem. There are 9 floors full of different kinds of art, and the collections never felt too repetitive like the large world-class art museums sometimes do. Floor 0 and all the installments must be checked out; our favorite was the Storm Room haha! I think total I spent 4 hours here, but I went back later in the day before it closed so luckily you can break it up a bit if you need to.

A great museum for a wide range of art, from paintings to 3D sculptures and the rainbow circle of glass on top. The building itself was super cool, especially the internal «courtyard» in the middle with its bridges spanning across the ravine. Enjoyed my visit and will def revisit if I get back to Århus!

Specialty Museums
The Old Town, also known as Den Gamle By, is a captivating open-air museum in Aarhus, Denmark. It features over 75 historic buildings dating from the 16th to the early 20th century, meticulously collected and preserved to recreate an authentic market town from the time of Hans Christian Andersen. The museum offers a glimpse into Denmark's past with its well-preserved houses, shops, workshops, and windmills that still function as they did in bygone eras.
This place is amazing for kids and adults. It was the highlight of our 3 day trip to Aarhus. We especially loved the 1922 cafe (where we bought coffee and pastries prepared, baked, and served like in the original time) and the historic bakery (where we bought actual bread and pastries that would have been available on the original time). The other buildings and exhibits are great too. The festival grounds were especially loved by our 4 year old. Overall, one of the best open air museums we've been to.

A wonderful step back in times past, representing many eras, cultures and historic events. Great for the family and history buffs. This spacious recreation is thoughtfully laid out walking through the Vikings to 1970s in the form of Main Street, museum of artifacts, village recreations and country estate with authentic trade shops. Historic coffee and bakery from the 1800s was inviting and delicious. Preteens may not appreciate the historical context of Aarhus, said to be the first civilized port of the Viking era. Well maintained and mostly accessible. Loved our visit

Our first stop this morning was to The Old Town Museum (known as Den Gamle By). It is a museum that allows visitors to have a feel of the architecture and culture of the different eras – particularly the years 2014, 1974, 1927 and 1864. Even the streets have been remodelled accordingly with the cobbled streets belonging to an older era and smoother streets to the more modern era. You will see that the entire Old Town museum in Aarhus is immersive in that you can enter different buildings and learn about the history of that particular building. There are also period actors that would perhaps be a blacksmith, a backer and even a brewer – whom you can interact with to learn more about what they are doing... For the full review of Den Gamble By and details of our 5 Months Round The World Trip, visit 2bearbear today!

Den Gamle By is a very cool experience. We spent over 6 hours exploring all of the homes, businesses and gardens that have been recreated/ reconstructed. Good variety of food and drink options as you make your way through. Quite a lot of interactions set up in many of the exhibits, and the rotary phones you can use to call businesses in the town are such a fun idea.

♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = medium size There are many parking lots in front of the building where you can park and the entrance is big enough for wheelchair users. The main building has a souvenir area, AQUA and outside there are several animals and a massive playground. The Aqua building is a bit of a let down if you don't speak danish. Most of the floors are only in the danish language. The outside has like 19 different animals and every hour some of the animals are fed by the zookeeper's. They are also telling more about the backstory of the animal. The entire park is accessible by a wheelchair but the only thing you may want to keep in mind that the sand walking path can be soft at times beEventually you will come across a big water playground for the kids and I'm talking around the size of one animal place, which makes This place amazing for kids if they have swimming clothes. One thing I don't understand is why the snacks and the ice cream shop is only open on the weekend. They are missing out on a lot of money by having the shops closed because of the kids and the big playground. Most families have 2+ kids. They have free WIFI. I have seen everything in 3 hours but it may be possible for you to do less making it debatable if the entry price seems fair or a bit too expensive (especially if you don't understand the danish language in the AQUA)

It is not that big but the water play is very amazing. They called it a aquarium zoo but not much fish nor not much animal Instead the design for water plan is very nice, based on the environment of the beaver, which is the animal you see. Their website can improve on more info on English and also let parents know to bring bathing suits
Hector W — Google review
Go on a sunny day if you have children — then it’s probably a 5-star place to be. Most of the park is outdoors, and they have a big playground, which is fantastic for kids. Everything is based around water mechanics, so bring some swimwear! Why it was a 3-star place for us: we don’t have children (yet), so we came for the animals and to learn something. In the aquarium, as a foreigner, you’ll need a good internet connection for Google Translate because everything is in Danish… The upper floor looked educational, but I had no idea what it was trying to tell me. I found one monitor that could switch to English, but it failed to load. Outside, there is some English on the signs, which helped a bit. The otter exhibit is so overgrown with vegetation that, with a bit of luck, we saw one — but it ran away immediately. The beaver exhibit was the best part! One of the beavers was swimming while the others, including a few babies, were sleeping — it looked really cozy! All the animals are native to Denmark, so don’t expect any fancy, bright-colored fish. There’s a small parking lot in front of the aquarium. You’ll need some luck to find a spot there.

Nice local fauna, animals, and fish display. Many places for children to play, places to eat, and picnic areas.
Alise P — Google review
This place is a hidden gem, especially for anyone interested in local Danish nature. The focus on fauna from the Gudenåen area is both educational and fascinating, and the otters, racoons and beavers are so cute. You can watch the otters being fed and hear how they get there. They also do rescue work and take care of otters needing help. The staff are friendly and welcoming. While the aquarium seems to cater mainly to families with young children, it’s just as enjoyable for adults visiting solo. The eel exhibit, in particular, is both intriguing and a little eerie, making it a standout experience. The location itself is stunning, set in a beautiful area perfect for a peaceful walk by the lakes and river afterward. It's well worth a visit!
Alpár I — Google review
Exhibit for the fish is a bit limited but combined with garden outside makes it worth coming here with children. Also there is a good walking trail along side the lake. Café Dråben is where its extremely disappointing. I dont think the fault is with the teenage girls doing the cooking but rather the ingredients and how the girls were taught to prepare food. One of the worst salads i ate in my life.
F S — Google review
Amazing experience! Instead of going and seeing the standard 'zoo setup', use the experience to see what cute creatures and other animals are living in the forests, rivers here in Europe. Easy to get there, by car or train (I travelled from Aarhus by train). Tickets cost cheaper if bought online and I suggest visiting the centre in morning, around 10:00 then the animals haven't had their breakfast yet and are more active and visible. Timewise - and hour is enough, in case you are in rush, if not, then you can enjoy the park for longer time, there was a space dedicated for children and areas where you can sit down and rest for a while, if needed. Recommend!
