Museums
HEART Herning Museum Of Contemporary Art is a remarkable museum showcasing contemporary art from Denmark, Italy and other parts of the world. The modern white space features constructive and concrete works that are highly impressive. One of the highlights is the exhibition on computers, computer games and art, which offers an exciting experience for visitors. The permanent collection is also captivating with interesting works of art worth exploring.
This is a great great modern art museum! Every year for Christmas I visit abd every time I am positively impressed with the exhibition on display. This time the main show was about computers, computer games and art. Really good! Even the permanent collection is very interesting and worth visiting. The building itself is spacious, light and elegant. In the summer time the garden is a welcoming place, especially by the little pool (which can be the site of art installations too). The museum shop is well stocked. There is also a Cafe but I have not visited it. Overall, the best modern art museum in Jutland, a strong rival to Aarhus!

Either really nice or really boring. It depends on the exhibition so make sure to do a bit of research before going. :))

♿ Entrance = Yes ♿ Parking = Yes ♿ Building = Yes ♿ Elevator = No, it's all on the same floor. Heart museum and the Carl Henning are 2 different buildings but they sell a ticket that you can either visit one of them or both of them. So they are kinda together and honestly should be together in one big building. The heart museum for 11€ / 85 krones alone isn't worth it in my opinion as they only seem to have 4 big rooms with 2 areas (so 2x2) and the building is looking bigger from the outside but the museum is filled with lots of space that can be used for things, including inside of the rooms. The art inside of the rooms are questionable and I personally don't get the feeling were they are trying to go for as everything just seems to be *placed* there. You will be finished in a hour at the heart museum and then you may be eager to visit the Carl Henning museum. I have not checked out the Carl Henning museum besides some peak around the corner but it looked similar at the heart museum. Carl Henning museum does have 4 (big rooms) but the inside elevator is on the tight and small side and may not be wheelchair friendly (depending on your size). So it's up to you if you wish to explore the museums but if you do, you may want to check the price of both tickets together and if it's reasonable for you to buy the 2 tickets Combo for each museum and avoid paying 85x2 krones each ticket separately. I don't think I'll be going back to either museum but if I had to choose which one I would like to visit again then I'll choose the Carl Henning museum. But I say no to both.

Love modern art. Not all is good of course, depends of the perspective and type of interest of each one. Art is subjective and sometimes surrounded by controversy. It's well worth it.
FILIPE P — Google review
Next level was an awesome arcade experience back in I think 2018 or 2017 Where I last visited It had a lot of things to try and some very old and nostalgic for my father to try, there was a great atmosphere and a decent fee for entry which I can't complain about. While I can't say anything abouts what's been after, it's risks like next level that are different than normal museums that would make me visit again, while I didn't spend many many hours in there, it was definitely worth it.

Great place for kids and adults alike. Many trampolines, bull riding, some exercise machines and many arcade machines. We really liked it, time flew by like nothing. You can even bring your own food, so you just have to pay the entry fee. Although, the food prices were also acceptable.

A good and fun inside action park for kids on the younger side. I'd say for kids between 1-10 years old. Everything from climbable towers, with slides, trampoline park with wall mounted trampolines and a wide selection of arcade games. Can easily spend the 4 hours, you get out of the entrance fee

amazing place for kids. This was heaven to me when I was younger. It's big, has a younger kids area, trampoline rooms, ballpits, slides, bounce house, claw machines, arcade, bumper cars, karaoke, and plenty of more. Best for kids below twelve in my opinion since the smaller you are, the bigger it is, lol.

Very nice indoor playground for every age. Many different activities cover all children needs. Even a quite huge arcade area is available. The wide and open areas prevent crowding and many tables and banks offer space to rest. Some toys are really worn out and some cables are too easy accessible for children, but all in all a great experience.

Events
MCH Messecenter Herning is a spacious venue that can accommodate high volume events such as music concerts and trade fairs. It consists of an arena and a conference center, making it perfect for conferences with numerous attendees. The place attracts hundreds of thousands of people during events like the Herning Horse Show, which lasted for five days.
I recently attended the Food Tech 2024 event at Messecenter Herning and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The exhibitors were outstanding, showcasing a high level of professionalism and inspiration. Aquatiq, in particular, stood out as incredibly inspiring, offering innovative solutions and insights. Additionally, the cheese tastings were fantastic, with the brunost from TINE being a highlight. Overall, Messecenter Herning provided a top-notch venue for this event, and I highly recommend it for future exhibitions and conferences.

I was visiting the Arena for few football matches, the overall is a good experience the staff and management for security of entry and exit is good and convenient. However something that quite annoying me are the the guests whoes placing their feet on the chair backrest. I experienced many times and you know, with the smell and uncomfortable feeling. I'm coming for the upcoming match soon, will be very appreciated if the arena can manage about it.😊

Delicious!!! I’ve never had a richier, silkier, and smoother Creme Brulé! Meat and asparragus were really tasty. Unfortunately I ordered my meat medium rare, and it was well done. For the prices the charge meat should be perfect. (I know that if I would’ve said something they probably would’ve change it, but I thought this when I was half way on my steak). Really friendly staff.

Probably the most charming dining room in Herning. Menu and cooking was more like a 3.5 star as our steaks came medium fineness instead of the medium rare that we asked for. The menu is also quite small and simple but familiar and other dishes didn’t disappoint. The fries are really really good!
Yung O — Google review
We came in the hopes to get a nice (and maybe) different meal, we know the owners by name from television and they always does things a bit different. Unfortunately this has not so much the case. The food was okay'ish but at that price point you would expect more. But what was really a disappointment was the service that night, we ordered some wine, which was left on the table after tasting it, we said that we would like to see the menu again later for dessert (did not happen, had to ask for it again after waiting for 20 min after the main course) when they came to take our dessert orders the waitress seemed mad like it was a hassle for her to take our order. So all in all a bit of an off experience that I wouldn't recommend others unfortunately 😕

Italian restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Herning, Restaurant Pizzeria Marco Polo is a delightful spot for pizza lovers. Located at Torvet 5, this charming eatery offers an inviting atmosphere perfect for casual dining with friends or family. What sets Marco Polo apart is its commitment to inclusivity; they provide gluten-free options not just for pizza but also pasta, making it a haven for those with dietary restrictions. Many patrons rave about the delicious flavors and friendly service that enhance their dining experience.
Came here March 25th on a date with my Danish boyfriend. The atmosphere was perfect with mood lighting, ample seating between tables and light music. Food was brought out promptly and the pasta dish I had with seafood was absolutely delicious! The boyfriend enjoyed his pizza as well, but I do believe he preferred my dish. The Tiramisus we ordered were also fantastic and just melted away in our mouths. Was absolutely the perfect venue to have a dinner date in!

This will be my go-to restaurant when I come back to Herning for work everytime now. Price is reasonable and food is good. Nice ambience outside. I can’t believe I missed this place the past two times I came to Herning. Ordered a plate of spaghetti a gli scampi. The dish just speaks natural and freshness. The prawns were crunchy and cooked to the right consistency. The sauce was natural with the right seasoning. The nice touch was the shrimps among the sauce. Ordered a medium sized coke, and it was huge. So perhaps you could get the lille one if you are not so big of a sodavand drinker. Amazing place. Thanks for offering such fantastisk mad!

I felt like in Italy in this restaurant. Delicious, authentic Italian food... It's a cuisine that doesn't need additives, such as mayonnaise, which I experienced in Italian restaurants in Denmark. The aperol was perfect. I will definitely come back and recommend everyone to visit this place. As a huge fan of Italian cuisine, I am delighted with Marco Polo. Delizioso ❤️❤️❤️

Service was really top class but the food was not good we ordered 2 pasta (penne and tagliatelle) both with chicken insted of other meat but the chicken was not at all good it was smelling bad,they use diced chicken I feel either it was expired or not kept in right temperature. vegetable pizza was average.garlic bread was good but because if bad experience of pasta we didn't feel like eating any food there.Banana split was below average. I am giving 2stars just because of good service otherwise 0 star for the food.

I went today to buy sushi from here from billund. Billund already has a good sushi place. As I went to Herning therefore I went to buy from this sushi place. But surprisingly the lady of the counter was very unfriendly and behaved so rude. May be the sushi tastes good as I didn't taste till now but if the place doesn't know customercare then that place is no good for the customers.

The food is very so so especially when you think about the price. Highest price for sushi in town therefore we expect a lot about the food quality . We also have a 2 years old with us where she was charged for 119kr. Fair enough but I would rather go to other places in town where she is charged lower than this. The staff is very nice and friendly though. The service is good as restaurant’s standard.

(Translated by Google) Really bad sushi. The fish was pale and tasteless, and the rice was a sticky mass, and then it's completely slathered with dressing to give it a hint of flavor. Incredibly expensive compared to how poor the quality is. It's probably the worst sushi I've had. Even worse than the boxes you can buy in the supermarket. And the other dishes weren't worth anything either. (Original) Virkelig dårlige sushi. Fisken var bleg og smagløs, og risen var en sammenklistret masse, og så er det fuldstændigt smadret til med dressing, for at give det et hint af smag. Utroligt dyrt i forhold til hvor ringe kvalitet. Det er nok det værste sushi, jeg har fået. Selv dårligere end de bokse man kan købe i supermarkedet. Og de andre retter var heller ikke noget værd.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, good atmosphere, nice and clean👍 There is plenty of food, but unfortunately the sushi is very average. There is nothing spectacular about it🤷 In addition to the sushi, there is some tuna, shrimp, salmon and some deep fried shrimp and chicken. The price is acceptable as long as you don't go there on the weekend. (Original) Fint sted, god atmosfære, pænt og rent👍 Der er rigelig med mad, men desværre er sushien meget jevn. Der er ikke noget spektakulært over den🤷 Ud over sushien er der lidt tun, rejer, laks og lidt friture stegte rejer og kylling. Prisen er acceptabel, så længe man ikke kommer der i weekenden.

The brewery, Bryggeriet Herning, offers a delightful 3-course menu with the option of three dishes selected by the chef. The food is exceptional and complements their house-made rhubarb ale perfectly. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. They also serve delicious national dishes, such as pork and bread with butter. The veal dish they offer is outstanding, prepared with a variety of flavors that are both well executed and tantalizing to the taste buds.

If you're on the hunt for a hearty meal in Herning, look no further than Dirty Ranch Steakhouse. This American-style steakhouse is a haven for meat lovers, offering an array of barbecue delights that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. With its inviting atmosphere and diverse menu, it's the perfect spot to indulge in succulent steaks and flavorful dishes.
Had a great evening here. Despite it was not full the staff seemed a little bit unmotivated. After finishing the meals we waited in front of the empty glasses for more then 20 minutes, would have enjoyed some drinks more.

Followed this restaurant on FB for a long time, felt like a nice family American restaurant, with big portions and calories bomb. The food were great, but I felt like I miss the family feeling I got from their FB posts. Love their events, but will come more often if they can make the events on weekends. For us that live a bit further from Herning, it's a stretch to drive to Herning on a weekday. Oh, price were very reasonable too, so will definitely come again.

We were 6 people eating there yesterday, everyone had food poisoning within 2 hours later. If you want to pay to get food poisoning have at it. There wasnt't any issues with the taste, service or establishment but considering that within 2 hours after eating the steak one after the other fell victim to food poisoning. We had a horrible night, and even worse flight back the next day. I would strongly advice people to stay away from this establishment based on my experience. The incident has been reported to the DVFA so hopefully the establishment can improve their quality control in the future so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
