Pedestrian tunnel under the North Sea-Baltic Sea canal

The canal is excellently maintained. Good security and so safe to pass by. The view of the canal from here is just splendid. I was really awestruck with the beauty of this place. I love to go to this place once again. Whosoever visiting Rendsburg should go and spend sometime near the canal. I was told that this 100km canal was man made, 100 years ago. I could see the quality of the workman's contribution even now. And, the big container ships passing by while we're relaxing is adding beauty to our eyes. Great place to hangout. :) :) :)

It’s an escalator. If you’re here do it!

If you're on a bike it's a quick ride through this tunnel , and it has a nice echo
Tom P — Google review
I got stopped because I was walking up the escalator at a normal pace when there was noone there because I'd be "breathing too much". I guess they like to nitpick when they have nothing to do. Also the guy hit on my mom once

Rendsburg High Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Historical landmark
Early-1900s iron railroad bridge that crosses the Kiel Canal at a height of over 40 meters.
The Rendsburg High Bridge (1913) is a railway viaduct at Rendsburg, Germany. A "transporter" suspended below the bridge carries cars and pedestrians across the Kiel Canal every 15 minutes. It hangs just six meters above water level and ships must time their passage carefully.
David S — Google review
An interesting way of transporting people and cars over the canal. As pedestrians and bikes are prioritised, and the que for cars can be long (takes max 4 cars of max 3,5 tons, and no motorhomes), go there on foot or by bike. It's free of charge either way. Runs 4 times per hour.
Lennart N — Google review
A really beautiful bridge with an interesting transportation for crossing the river. Meanwhile, taking a train passing through the bridge is fantastic, sine it is really high, you would get an astoniahing view. ;)

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
Aquarium GEOMAR is a compact outdoor aquarium located in Kiel, offering a diverse range of marine life. It is best known for its seals and features various fish and crustaceans from the Baltic, Mediterranean, and tropical regions. The aquarium provides an immersive experience with lifelike environments showcasing Nordic and tropical swimmers. Visitors can explore the informative exhibits to learn about the diversity of marine creatures and their habitats.
For a 3 Euro admission fee, this is an amazing small aquarium featuring a few species from the indo pacific region. It's conviniently located close to the cruise port of Kiel, I visited on my own instead of booking an excursion, walked around and found this aquarium and the Old Botanical Garden
Janna P — Google review
It's a small aquarium, but really great! There are some interesting sea creatures, and it's quite amazing how many they have managed to put into such a small area; they've made great use of the space! Outside, you can see seals free of charge, and at 14:30 every day, they get fed. Really cute sea doggos 🥰
Angutivik T — Google review
Its a tiny aquarium but with a fair variety of fish and other species, children can be there maximum 45min and entrance is only €3 so affordable for spending some fun time with the children.... The opportunity would be the references in other languages as everything is in German and entrance is only from the front which is not very obvious as the back is temporarily closed... Aside from that great place to visit!
Ivonne S — Google review
A very small inexpensive aquarium that you can bring the kids to for nice relaxing 30 minutes or so. 3 euros per person is super affordable. There is also a nice line up of food and beverage stalls along the boardwalk and you can enjoy a nice stroll or bike ride down the way.
David H — Google review
Very affordable, they also have a discount for students. But it's a small aquarium so you can go through everything in about 20-30ish minutes. You can see the seals from outside while waiting as well.
Jenn K — Google review
A decent place to showcase the aquatic life of Kiel. Students can also avail a discount for a 2 Euro ticket. Not sure about kids but they should also have some entry concessions. The seals outside are very playful and friendly. The interior can get congested if there are too many visitors.
Reuben D — Google review
Very disappointing experience – rude staff and poor management We had a very unpleasant experience at Geomar Aquarium in Germany. The staff was incredibly rude, especially one arrogant man at the entrance. We were not allowed inside because we were told there were “too many people.” When I asked how long the wait would be, he said he didn’t know. After pushing for a more specific answer, he finally said “10–15 minutes – depends when people leave.” We decided to wait with our two small children, sitting quietly on chairs by the entrance. A few minutes later, the same man came outside for a cigarette and shamelessly blew smoke in the direction of our kids. When I pointed out that 15 people had already left and we were only four, he still refused to let us in. Then, in the most disrespectful tone, he told me, “You can just leave if you’re about to cry.” Completely unacceptable and unprofessional behavior. As for the aquarium itself – once we finally got in – it was extremely small. You can walk through the entire thing in 5 minutes. The seals outside were kept in a cramped area with disgusting green water, which looked neglected and unhygienic. Absolutely not worth the price, the wait, or the stress caused by such rude and arrogant staff. Save your money and your nerves – go elsewhere.
Ilona D — Google review
It's a very simple aquarium compared to those in the states. Just takes takes maybe 10 minutes to get through and is extremely affordable at three euros a ticket.

Naval Memorial

Space of remembrance
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
The Naval Memorial, also known as the Laboe Naval Memorial, is a significant war memorial featuring a tower and observation deck. Originally built in 1936 to honor sailors of World War I, it now symbolizes all seafarers who lost their lives in both world wars. The towering structure offers a small exhibition on the ground floor and stunning panoramic views from its platform.
Amazing place for remembrance! Also a dark structure as from what time frame it is, it’s an unsettling place at the same time! Beautiful but kind of intimidating which was the point of the structure.. he himself didn’t like the design I read!

Too few to visit basically only a few ship models to see along with some history of German Navy. View at the top is great
Randy L — Google review
You can walk up on the inside however the stairs are open so you can look down, not good if you don’t like heights.I’m ok looking out just not down. That the lift as the view is worth it. The museum is also interesting and they used the same scale for the models so you can compare the sizes of the vessels
Ove — Google review
Super interesting and impactful experience. I am more of an artsy person, but i would not miss this. Definitely worth the entrance fee especially to see all the ship models, the view and the submarine! It is such a unique experience to walk inside a submarine and get to know all the historical and technical details about it. I absolutely recommend to visit.
Dorottya-Agota S — Google review
In memory to the fallen soldiers. The memorial looks powerful and depressive. Inside there are some pictures and stories about the war time. I like the wall with many submarines, it shows how many of them sank. It is crazy. So many lost lives. The tower is quite high and inside is a bit creepy if you walk the stairs. The view from the tower is great. It is definitely worth seeing it.
July S — Google review
Fascinating memorial tastefully done.
David R — Google review
Just down the street about a block, there is a ticket stand that will sell you a ticket to get in. Well, it's less of a ticket and more of a token that you put in at the turnstile. This originally was the German Naval Memorial for the sailors of the German Navy during World War I. After the Second World War it was then changed into an all naval memoral for sailors of all countries' Navys. Behind the tower is a museum that goes over the history of the German Navy and a number of Naval Maritime Disasters. I would highly suggest that you go through this portion of the museum before going into the tower itself. Once you get through the museum you go down a set of stairs and underneath the open area that you walked across to get to the museum. Under here are a number of wreaths and memorials to ships and sailors who lost their lives. You will then cross to the other side where you will enter into the tower itself and the exhibit continues. And shows the losses of German ships during both world wars and The transformation of the German Navies. You can take the flight of stairs, or the elevator all the way up to the top of the memorial where you have a wonderful view of U-995 and the surrounding beach. 12/10 would recommend you to go visit if you're in the area.
Jack K — Google review
Interesting combination of a memorial and a museum. U995 is a must see if you can, also. Wonderful view of the coast if you go to the top of the memorial tower.

German submarine U-995

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Technology museum
Sights & Landmarks
German submarine U-995 is a historical and technical museum located on Laboe beach, housed in a World War II-era U-boat. This Nazi Germany submarine was damaged in 1944 and later used by the Norwegian navy until the 1960s. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into its tight interior, including the engine room, cabins, control stations, and torpedo tubes. It is one of the few remaining intact U-boats and sits next to the Laboe Naval Memorial.
This was incredibly interesting. I had the opportunity to go here with three of my friends. It’s unbelievable to think people actually lived in this submarine!
Nick — Google review
This is probably the number 1 attraction in the area, and yet you don't need to be there long, and it definitely stirs mixed emotions. On the one hand, it's really cool to get to walk through a submarine, the engineering, the equipment, the pipes and valves, the electrics and communication, etc. are all fascinating. So, too, is a view of how the crew slept and ate in such a cramped space. But then the sombre thought that these guys were killing your guys, never really leaves you. Lest we forget.

The store was super beautiful and cozy. The lady at the counter was accommodating and nice. I only asked one question and she explained everything well clearly and always wearing a smile. There was one worker going around the store looking around and grabbed by basket while I was trying to pour candies in my bag on the basket, she was not nice at all. I know how much work and effort in making these candies and maintains the store to be beautiful and clean but be nice and respectful to ALL buying customers.

They make sweets. Boiled sweets. But they make their money selling them. They have so many varieties that I doubt all are made on site. But that is beyond the point. As far as I could see everything is sold by weight. You can freely mix as much as you like. I ended up spending too much. It was very full. We had to queue quite some time outside the shop just to get in. Staff were very friendly though.

We visited on a Sunday morning, and it wasn’t crowded which made for a pleasant visit. It cost about 150 DKK (~20€) for 2 adults. They take cash as well as card payments. Most of the exhibits are in 2 buildings. The signage for the exhibits are in English as well as German and Danish I’m assuming. The ticket sales is in building H6 which also contains a few exhibits. The exhibits were interesting and informative. We spent over 2 hours here reading everything. There are free restrooms and plenty of parking.
Nguyen N — Google review
Great museum to see history with well preserved services. We visited here with our 12 year old son and a small dog. The campsite is pet friendly but you need to check if this is acceptable to enter the museum with a pet. There are many more museums in the camping area. But it's worth it if you go here just for the Froslev Camp Museum. In the past, Danish prisoners used to come here as a prison, ofcourse who anti-Nazis. After May 1945, the camp was used as a prison for the punishment of SS soldiers. It saddens us to see how cruel people can be to each other. I hope we can all learn to live in peace together. Never again to any people!

(Translated by Google) Frøslev museum is one of many exhibitions under the same "roof" which is the National Museum which has the history of the tenant itself, and those who were "Häftlinge" in it. In addition, there are exhibitions in various barracks, one of which is worth a visit, is barracks H1 which shows the history of the Emergency through the ages, which is free admission. The tenant appears in many places as it was when it was in use..

Also a good place for souvenirs, as they have probably everything you can imagine with a danish flag on it :D Also friendly personal. You can pay cash (danish Krona only) or with VISA/Master/EC.

If you really like Christmas why not celebrate it all year long and why not buy Christmas stuff anytime you wish. If you think that's just a fantasy and dream, like castles in the clouds, come down to earth and visit Tønder to see the incredible manifestation of a Christmas shop all year round. But that's not all, you can get lots of other stuff you might never need but which will make your life so much more beautiful being surrounded by stuff. If you look for a gift for someone and you don't know what to buy, here you'll find lots of great ideas.

It is an interesting historical place for the battle that happened here. Mostly for Germans and Danes. Even though it was back in 1864, there's a lot of information about who was fighting and who died. It was also the first time the Red Cross was there to help.

Historic place. Denmark and Germany in war in 1884. Very realistic place to visit. Definitely worth a visit also for families with children. There are lots of realistic buildings and exhibits. Once you have visited the place, you can go down to Dybbøl mill. Is it a summer day you visit the place, lies Vemmingbund beach, not far from there. A lovely beach

Very interesting exhibition with lots of history about what happened in the months of 1864. Unfortunately it is a very small site and you can see it all in a few hours. But if you add some walking routes in the surrounding area to see the ancient battle positions it will take longer. Support history and visit this site if you are in the area.

Sønderborg Castle, originally built in the 12th century, is a picturesque brick-built waterside castle that now houses a cultural history museum. The castle's gardens and courtyard make it a charming venue for romantic weddings. The town of Sønderborg grew around the castle and is famous for its recurring Tilting-at-the-Ring event.

Very friendly staff member at the ticket office who gave me a detailed rundown of the museum and it's exhibitions. The museum itself is interesting and well made, I loved the temporary exhibition on World War 1, the short videos with reenactments of actual experiencs soldiers had in the trenches nearly moved me to tears. My only complaint is that a lot of the exhibition (especially the temporary one) is in Danish only, which is a pity since there are a lot of Germans and non-danish speakers in general visiting

Sønderborg Castle is a wonderful place to visit — beautifully preserved, well organized, and offering great views over the water. The exhibitions are interesting and thoughtfully presented, making it easy to explore the region’s history. I would only suggest adding a bit more historical context or storytelling to some sections to make the experience even richer. Overall, a very enjoyable and worthwhile visit!

I visited the museum with my danish partner and I was really happy I could visit it with him because not a lot was in English or German. So he basically did a lot a explained. So to me the price is a bit high for not understanding more than half of the rooms. The cafe is also nice. The costumes are however nice.

Plentiful of danish history from the earliest days of the Sønderborg Castles origin to world war two and the late 70s. Unfortunately the facade was under renovation at the time and some of the exhibition was closed of. An audio tour of the museum would be wonderful as there is a lot of tekst and some times very small to read. All in all a very good tour.

Avant-garde Art in Aabenraa 🎨✨ 🖼 The 125th Anniversary Exhibition of Franciska Clausen at Brundlund Slot is a milestone retrospective of a local artist that was way ahead of her time. The retrospective exhibition at Brundlund Slot - a carefully curated selection among the 2600 works she left behind - stands as both homage and introspection into the avant-garde legacy she etched into the canvases of art history. 🔍 Born and bred in Aabenraa, Sønderjylland, in the early 20th century, Franciska Clausen was a Danish avant-garde artist known for her significant contributions to abstract art. She was associated with the Bauhaus movement and was influenced by Cubism and Futurism. 🏰 Brundlund Slot is worth a visit, no matter which exhibition is on. The whitewashed castle dates back to the 1400s and provides a beautiful setting for its different art exhibitions. The park outside is a great place to enjoy a lunch among the many sculptures, and is free to visit. 📆 You can delve into the reservoir of Clausen's artistic scope at Brundlund Slot until 31/8-25: https://msj.dk/en/exhibitions/a-collage-franciska-clausen-125-years/

My visit to the castle was quite different from what I had expected. Anticipating a tour of the castle's antique furniture and historical overview, I was disappointed to find that it was primarily a picture gallery. With only two accessible floors and the third floor closed, the painting exhibition felt small. The vintage paintings on the first floor were exquisitely adorned, mirroring the beautiful interior. However, the second floor featured modern art that didn't seem to fit the castle's ambiance, leaving me uninterested in capturing photos. The majority of the castle is reserved for employees and inaccessible to visitors, resulting in a lack of preserved history. Regrettably, I didn't learn anything intriguing about the castle during my visit. The surrounding area was compact yet well-maintained, with its proximity to the center being a plus. The admission fee of 85dkk per person felt reasonable, but I wouldn't recommend visiting this castle. It no longer retains its castle essence and seems more like an art gallery that could exist elsewhere.

Universe is an amusement park that boasts both interactive attractions and scientific exhibits suitable for all ages. It features a water fun area alongside an industrial museum, offering visitors the opportunity to explore, experiment and play on its playgrounds. The park also offers beautiful gardens and surroundings to enjoy. Its VR experience is highly recommended, especially for gamer children. Although food can be expensive and dull, there are plenty of opportunities to bring your own supplies too.
We totally enjoyed the gorgeous display of flowers throughout the park. If it rains, there are many places to shelter. The kids have so many hands-on exhibits, which are totally engaging. There is one extraordinary climbing experience to be had here. There is a virtual reality area!
Karen K — Google review
It's a really nice place with a lot of things to do and explore. We had a lot of fun being there. We missed a lot of shows because of our poor timing and the language (some of them are in german). There's a lot of things to do for children and adults alike. We especially enjoyed the wind tunnel ( Beat the Storm) and the Sky Trail (the climbing area...beware of vertigo). It's a good place to visit 2, 3 times. After buying your way in, they will give you a bracelet with a chip encoded that will help you enter anywhere in the park. The restaurants prices are a little steep, but that's to be expected. The staff is friendly and helpful at any stage. You have the option to rent a small wagon for your children or your things, to carry around, for a 50 dkk fee. Most attractions have a secure locker room that you can open via your bracelet, so you can store your belongings while visiting. The parking is decently big, but I would still recommend coming in early. Get your tickets in advance so that you can benefit from 25% discount. [Furthermore, you get a 50% discount if you have a season pass from other attractions (like Givskud Zoo)].
Radu O — Google review
The park is very interesting and educational. However, the way how the park handle the visitors in virtual line making it super unfair for the visitors with regular tickets. At the Sky Trail, the employees kept letting the visitors in the virtual line to get in first whenever they showed up even though the people in the regular line had already waited there for more than 20 minutes (the regular line was not even long at all).
Carrie C — Google review
Great expectations and some of them delivered in plenty. Innovative games, quizzes and challenging engaging experiences for most ages. Unfortunately this day some of the biggest exhibitions were closed due to a faulty fireprevention system or other fault. There was a lack of communication from the staff as to why half of the exhibitions were closed due to this.

It's a large science park that kids can enjoy. Children can become familiar with different scientific concepts, play games, and have fun, while parents can enjoy the beautiful and green area inside the park. There are restaurants, ice-cream shops, gift shop, etc. It is a fun way to spend a day.

2025-09-14 - Visited with my wife and three daughters (age 9, 6 and 3). We had a great day with lot of fun. The park is best if you are more than 1,3 meters high as there was quite many attractions which only my oldest daughter could try… Bust still we had a good day!

It's a nice place to spent a day with the kids. I would give it 4,5* if possible. The missing half star is because there were some experiments that where not working ( fire zone) and you should work on the soap mix in the bubble zone 😉
Dagmar W — Google review
I’m writing to express concern about an incident that occurred during our recent visit. While most of the experience was fine, we encountered a moment that felt disturbingly discriminatory. At the Skytrail climbing attraction, our children — who were clearly waiting earlier in the queue — were consistently overlooked, while others who arrived later were helped and equipped first. There was no clear order or number system, yet our children were skipped without explanation. The contrast in how other children were assisted — with attention and patience — was stark. A similar situation occurred at the Segway station, where one of the same staff members again seemed to intentionally avoid instructing or assisting our children, while being notably more attentive to others. Being treated this way — especially when children are involved — simply because of where we come from is unacceptable. We came as paying guests like everyone else, and no one deserves to feel ignored or unwelcome because of their background. Discrimination, intentional or not, has no place in any customer-facing setting. We truly hope your team will take this feedback seriously and address it with the relevant staff. Every child deserves equal treatment and kindness, regardless of nationality. Kind regards, Alla

Dyrehaven Ved Haderslev is a well-maintained place that is perfect for walking and even suitable for wheelchair users. It features an electrically operated gate and designated paths, including one leading to the Sopienquelle with a note about stairs further along the route. Although sightings of deer and red deer are not guaranteed, it's still an interesting place worth spending time in to enjoy the fresh air, landscape, and nature.
Dyrehaven is an amazing place for a walk or trail run. It's lovely for a walk alone or with friends and family. The view of the fjord is beautiful. The chance of seeing wild deer is very high. There is also a house with tables and benches to sit and eat your lunch pack, a grill under a shelter, a maze in a hedge, and natural playground.

They have have changing exhibitions, currently one about being Danish that focuses on what it was like when south Jutland was lost to Prussia and the Danish people where forced to hide there nationality and to speak German. Lovely kitchen garden and 2,7km marked trail. Children can rent a metal detector and find items in a designated area for 40kr/30min and they get a diploma after. 🙂 Their Christmas market is to be recommended.

Koldinghus

Museum
Castle
Koldinghus, located in Kolding, is a remarkable cultural history museum housed within restored castle ruins. The castle has a rich and turbulent history dating back to the 13th century. Despite being partially destroyed by fire in 1808, it was rebuilt in the 20th century, seamlessly blending old and new architectural styles. The museum boasts an impressive collection of artifacts including the Christian IV collection, gold & silverware, Flora Danica table service, and princess gowns.
Again, grading on a curve based on location, but I had a 2.5 hour Layover at the train station and decided to visit this place which is a very short walk from the station. We'll worth the walk. The museum is very well organized and you can feel the history when your there. It use to be a royal residence from what I was told, among many other things. Great staff and they have lockers to store your bags while your visiting the museum. A little pricy, I think that I paid 22 euros, but it was worth it. Good place to visit if you have the time and it sits right next to a beautiful scenic river and walkway with benches to stop and soak up the view.

Interesting mix of old and new architecture. The castle was partially destroyed in a fire in 1808 and was rebuilt in the 20th century in a way which preserved the original building but also clearly showed the modern parts. One of the highlights for us was the Flora Danica table service. Just amazing. The princess gowns were lovely. There was even the possibility to dress up as royalty yourself. There is a cafe on site. There is parking near the castle but the castle is also within walking distance from the center of town.

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.

So much fun in exploring and interacting with the various areas. The museum is a must, taking you back the very beginnings of Lego and we recognised the decades our boys were involved with Lego.

Over all the location is good , pool is good a lot of choices of slides and kids splash pools . But there’s a lot down side too , first day arrived looking good and our room facing greenery side , second day morning suddenly a big crane outside doing the digging and piles of mountains size completely blocked out the view . Literally is a last week return to school time why can’t you guys start doing the construction work after???Basically can’t open up window when is steaming hot inside , as all the dust blow right in and my kids couldn’t play freely outside too . onside shop is decent but I dislike the bakery area where they do this plastic hand glove for every use to just pick up pastries, unnecessary plastic use for environmental honestly . Electricity and water have to pay saperately this is very shocking to me , literally first time experiencing this , on top of that there’s unnecessary clean up charges too,upon arriving I just want to relax but needed to put bedding linen myself and then upon check out have to clean up the sheets again and also unload the dish washer after then only you can check out. Throw every last trash . Or else I don’t even know what are they gonna charge me on??? Vacuum the floor too? Brush toilet too? Very shocking and basically I still need cleaning and not relaxing everyday.

A great place for a family getaway with plenty of fun activities for the kids! The overall experience was enjoyable, and having LEGOLAND within walking distance is a huge bonus. However, the indoor areas, especially the aquarium, felt extremely crowded. It would be better if access was limited to Lalandia guests only, as the high number of outside visitors made it a bit overwhelming at times. Still, a fantastic spot for families looking to make lasting memories!

We arrived from Copenhagen via train to Vejle and bus to Billund - the whole journey was around 3 hours. The check in was very easy as we got sent a code to check straight into our lodge which was very easy to find for our 3 night stay. We recommend you get the golden wrist bands as we definitely got our monies worth from it. Lastly, the facilities are fantastic! Our children were asking when we would be back on the bus back home as they loved it!

Lalandia was a great place to have vacation with kids. But when I lost my bag the same dag, the service desk couldnt really help me much that day. And now still this time I have not found my bag with my gold and cash and bank kard and also my driver licenses.

We spent five nights at Lalandia in the summer and, for the most part, had a great time: the Aquadome was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed doing lots of the activities on offer. The surrounding playground, obstacle course, and two 5-a-side football pitches (with artificial turf) also ensured that we had plenty to do outdoors. Being able to walk over to Legoland and spend the day there was also a highlight. The on-site shop also had a good selection of products and reasonable opening times. The staff there and around the Lalandia resort were approachable and friendly. Sadly, hygiene is an issue (apart from the Aquadome, which I found to be very clean in the male changing rooms). For instance, dustballs were visible around the minigolf course and, according to our friends, the indoor playground too. Also, the communal bowling shoes were not sprayed after each use, which is minging given that people were wearing them with bare feet. The actual accommodation was disappointing. The beds were horrendous with soft, manky old mattresses with signs of bed bugs (I slept on the small sofa for 5 nights). It's beyond my comprehension why the mattresses aren't in protective covers. There were no insect screens on the windows despite a Lalandia leaflet informing guests that mosquitoes are normal there. The TV was dated, so it wasn't possible to mirror my phone to watch a film in the evening. In short, we loved our days there and had a lot of fun. If it weren't for the grubby, uncomfortable mattresses, I would have already booked again for next year without a doubt – maybe even for the March and the summer. As it stands, I'll look for alternatives.

We stayed in a little Lalandia house which was well equipped and clean, loved the Aquadome and spent more time there than we did at Legoland which was why we'd come to Billund in the first place. Loads to do in Lalandia and really close to Legoland, great for children.

Love this place, what a great experience. Everything has been absolutely perfect, from the house to the Waterpark. Super fun Waterpark a lot of waterside and different things to activate the kids with. Even as an adult you will love this place. There's a big indoor miniature golf, bowling, kids area and a lot of things to do. The houses are really nice and well equipped, beds are comfortable and everything is just what you need and want. I will definitely comeback here but next time we will stay longer so that we can do everything included.

Water & Amusement Parks
Theme Parks
LEGOLAND® Billund Resort is a top tourist attraction in Denmark, offering a day of fun for the whole family. The park features themed areas and a miniature world built entirely from Lego bricks. One of its main highlights is Miniland, where visitors can marvel at intricate Lego models of cities and famous landmarks. The resort also boasts an array of thrilling rides, including roller coasters that cater to both kids and adults.
That is just amazing! Lego is big love. We were here twice. And, of course, I want to come again 😁 I like everything here. Of course there at a lot of people, and you need to wait in a big queue to get your ride, still the place is marvelous. I recommend to come here not only with children’s but for yourself, too. Everyone will find something special here.

Great for kids and their families. You get the whole Lego experience as soon as you enter. The corridors and rooms are decorated in various lego themes...pirates, knights etc. Table tops, door signs, bathroom tiles all fit the Lego theme. Entry to Legoland is via a walkway from the hotel. Breakfast is good. Lots of options to suit many tastes. The restaurant also caters for dinner as well, with a menu that does offer some Danish food.

Beautiful park, some areas could need a little touch-up / love, but we absolutely loved it. There is something for everyone. I especially adored all the attention to details. A dog bowl in Lego etc. Halloween isn’t really a thing where we’re from, so we were surprised to see the whole park decorated. (Since we forgot that we were going in the week of Halloween) It was a pleasant surprise and made the whole experience feel magical. The prices change when pre ordering tickets depending on date, it was wise to order them with a discount online, the day before we went.

We just visited during the autumn holiday and had an absolute blast on the rides! The atmosphere was great, and we treated ourselves to some delicious churros too 👀 I was also there in summer and had such a fun time - especially on the water-themed rides like the canoe and the pirate boat 💦 Always a great day out! Even during holidays the lines aren’t bad - the longest we waited was about 20 mins. Highly recommended for kids! ✨️
Polina C — Google review
A fantastic place for kids and families! The park is cozy, creative, and full of fun details everywhere you look. I recommend going on a day when it’s less crowded – it makes the experience so much better (we loved being able to walk straight through the queues without waiting). The attractions are varied and suit all ages, from the smallest rides to the bigger roller coasters, and of course the incredible LEGO builds all around the park. It really feels like stepping into another world. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Denmark, and I’d recommend buying your tickets in advance to save time at the entrance.
Alexander P — Google review
This place is so fun my 3 children had a blast. They have many rides that even my 1 year old can go on, providing that we held her in our lap or sat next to her. The rides are diverse, the line ups were not too long. All in all a fantastic experience. Only criticism would be we should have had 2 full days to see everything, it's a lot if you only have 1 day.
Doug G — Google review
We visited in September, and Legoland was a bit of a disappointment. It’s the oldest Legoland, and you can tell - everything looks a bit faded, there’s some cobwebs here and there, and it’s not very clean overall. Inside there’s a great big LEGO store, but the prices are higher than in the Netherlands. It only really makes sense to buy the limited editions - though, to be honest, they’re not particularly exciting either. Overall, if you’re traveling from another country just for Legoland, it might be worth considering other destinations. But don’t forget - there’s also the LEGO House in Billund, and that place is really great.
Olga D — Google review
Fun for a whole day for both small kiddos and adults. Plenty of spaces to sit down and eat the lunch you bring (and you should bring one, because food in the park is expensive). The Atlantis sea world part was very cool with live fish aquariums to look at. We were there on a Friday in October on a mostly cloudy day and it was the perfect amount of people - we only had to queue for the biggest thrill rides and even then only 15min. All other attractions was max 5 minutes wait, so we could even do all rides multiple times if we wanted to. Pay for parking in advance for smoother experience.

The Økolariet is an interactive museum with a focus on sustainability. The exhibits highlight topics such as biodiversity and recycling, providing valuable insights into how to save energy and recycle both organic and plastic waste. It's a great place for families and friends to learn about nature and the environment while having fun. The museum offers engaging videos, games, quizzes, and other educational resources that are ideal for children and young people who want to understand the current issues surrounding climate change.
probably the best interactive, science museum I have ever been to! and it’s free! Me and my sister had so much fun really. it’s a shame that not everything can be translated to english, and because of that we didn’t really understand a lot of texts. every exhibition is made so well, the marine one left us speechless!
Wiktoria S — Google review
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!

The Science Museum is a must-visit, especially for families with kids. Best of all, it’s completely free to enter. What makes it special is how interactive it is—children can press buttons, try experiments, and explore hands-on exhibits that bring science to life. It’s fun, educational, and designed to spark curiosity in a way that keeps kids entertained for hours. A fantastic day out and highly recommended!

This is a FREE, fun, interactive learning space! So many topics, concepts and area to explore. It is obviously mostly in Danish, but there are small English translations throughout as well, so not all is lost! Toilets, free WiFi, a little shop, an area where you can swap clothes - bring some clothes to be able to take some. The info you can learn is relevant to every day life and is so interactive!! You could easily spend hours here. It is right across from the train station if you come by train. Very close to the walking street as well. For some reason it is having tantrums when I try to add photos... which is a shame because I took many!!!

Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church is a historical site in Denmark that features two runic stones raised by Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth. The larger stone details Harald's conquests and the conversion of Danes to Christianity. These stones are located near a church, protected by glass casing. Visitors can explore the rich history of the area and take a leisurely walk along the promenade.
We had a lovely afternoon at Jelling, looking at the museum and the surrounding area. I recommend 2 hours for everything. It is relatively easy to get there from Copenhagen by train, but book train tickets in advance. The area has been beautifully restored and maintained. The museum is also worth visiting as it gives a very good history of the royalty in Denmark.

There is a big hill next to a church that you should and can't ignore when you are visiting there. It's a good relaxing sight but the only way to get up on the top of the hill is by walking on the staircase next to the church. There is no flat road, so if you are a bad walker you may want to think twice if you want to go upstairs. There is no bench or sitting place on top of hill. There are some big runic stones Infront of the church you can inspect or Walking over the peaceful graveyard.

Recommended 👍 The Jelling stones (Danish: Jellingstenene) are massive carved runestones from the 10th century, found at the town of Jelling in Denmark. The older of the two Jelling stones was raised by King Gorm the Old in memory of his wife Thyra. The larger of the two stones was raised by King Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, in memory of his parents, celebrating his conquest of Denmark and Norway, and his conversion of the Danes to Christianity.

Museum
Historic Sites
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!

There was room to have a packed lunch - indoors, too, which was particularly useful on the day of our visit. Free parking right next door was also great.

Additionally, the venue hosts concerts within its walls for a unique music experience.
We came here during the medieval festival around August every year. They made it looked it really during the medieval era. There were plays,dances and activities for visitors to try. Plenty of drinks and Foods also to taste. Kids will definitely enjoy here ada there were many activities for them and some playgrounds. With plenty of parking space but better to be early as it gets full after lunch already.

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.

♿ 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.

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!

An interesting experience. You'll have to be fit though. The buildings and exhibits are not close to each other. To see the ⚡ electric show ask in advance, as that's limited to certain days.

Well worth a visit, an interesting mix of things to see and do. Does a good job of catering for non Danish speaking visitors but would have got 5 stars if more of the display information cards were in English

Really pleasantly surprised with how fun this museum was. I took my two kids, who are 9 & 11 and they absolutely loved it there! There are so many activities that you don’t have time to get bored. Very interactive and educative. It costs 110dkk to get in but for 130dkk you can get a season pass, so it was a no brainer! Already looking forward to going back as we didn’t have time to try everything after our 4 hour visit!

Great place to visit with kids. Lots of stuff to see and try. They have a tesla coil which is a must see. Also there are a 1920s, 1930s and 1950s house for you to explore.

Good day with sunshine weather and activities for all family members, some to see what we learned in school, other to play and have fun

We had a great time looking round, using their hands on display and seeing how technology has moved.

Great for families. Good value for money as children are free. Lots of things to try out for kids. Moon car race track, lightning show, insect sampling, pet goats, train ride.
