Fun things to do in Frederiksberg: 20 fun attractions and activities

Very well planned area. It is quite good for explaining animals to children. Most of the animal areas are in good condition such as lion, kangaroos and panda. But the polar bear living area should be improved. We used Copenhagen Card for entry, and entered afternoon. So it is not crowded and fun to walk around.

Awesome zoo in huge area and beautiful landscape. This place has all the animals you can imagine of with engaging activities like goat patting, feeding the lions, kids makeup, great playgrounds and exhibitions. The restrooms are clean and all areas are very well maintained. There’re plenty of food kiosks or restaurants along the way and they all offer good foods. Highly recommended to spend at least half a day here to cover many sections like Savannah, rainforest and the poles. Make sure you wear comfy shoes.

Me and my children loved this zoo, it was clean, had so many animals and areas to visit we spent 4 hours here. Really easy to get the bus to and from. Lots of food and drink stalls if you wanted to eat there. Everywhere is so clean and tidy and there are loads of staff around if you want to ask where something is or about an animal etc..would definitely recommend this if you visit Copenhagen. Our visit was covered by the Discovery card that I purchased before we arrived.

A good day out with loads to look at. Spread across two sites the zoo had something for everyone. The animals appeared well looked after and you could view them inside or outside in many cases. Plenty of cafes which were reasonably priced. Used our Copenhagen card to get in so nothing to pay. Wrap up warm if going in colder climates.

Entry used by Copenhagen card. Best zoo experience so far, nice open enclosures to get close to lions, polar bears and pandas. Many fish seemed to be missing from the aquarium and signs/ notices to get around the park could of been more clear

Staff were very friendly Zoo was clean and the animals looked well looked after. Plenty of food and drink stands Very informative talks were given by the rangers about the different animals. We had a lovely day.

This zoo has some unusual animals.I really liked the flying foxes and the colorful frogs. The only downside is that the elephant enclosure seems a bit small, especially since there's more than one elephant.

An excellent park although off to a skeptical start when I saw the first ride we went on had a member of staff on to "pull the brake". Lots of rides to suit all with a fair number of "tummy turners". Queues were small and the facilities such as food and toilets were at a good standard. We used the Copenhagen card to get in but you need to pay extra for the rides. Was quite cold when we were there so dress appropriately. The teenage kids enjoyed it so that's a thumbs up !

Had such a fun day at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen! The autumn vibes were magical, and the park looks absolutely stunning as the lights come on in the evening. I highly recommend going late afternoon so you can enjoy it in daylight and then see it sparkle at night. The food was delicious, the rides and attractions were super fun, and the whole day just felt so cozy and special. A must-visit for anyone in Copenhagen! 🎡🍂✨

Went here for the halloween themed gardens, it was amazing. So much to do for all ages. Rides, show for the little children, pumpkin carving, amusements, stalls to buy gifts and plenty of food and drink stalls. You can go in and out if you get a stamp and there's plenty of shops nearby. Was a great day out.

We visited just before Halloween and had a great time. The decorations and while atmosphere just felt special. I initially thought that the entry and ride ticket was a little expensive but it certainly wasn’t, only major queues were for food outlets at meal time which is understandable. Download the app and you can also have free copies of the ride photos, something completely unheard of in our native UK. Highly recommend and a highlight of our family trip to Copenhagen

Beautiful theme park in the city center of Copenhagen, Denmark. My Danish friends told me that It was the inspiration of Disney’s World. Lovely theme park with various rides and attractions, bars, ice cream, candy shops and restaurants as well as souvenirs and artisanal shops. I came here in October so the park was lavishly decorated with Halloween theme 🎃🎃🎃. It was packed even on weekdays. I tried Demon, the 🎢 rollercoaster (the queue was 45 minutes for a 1 - minute fun ride! 😇) and we had fun! We also had wonderful dinner in Mikkeler Færgerkroen restaurant. Fun attractions include the old wooden rollercoaster, fatamorgana, carousel, boat ride, Ferris wheels 🎡, swinging carousel, bumper car and more. The tickets are available online as well as through Tivoli app. You can get the passes as well, starting for the standard pass for 12 months to silver, gold and wild card. Get more details on their app and website. Single ride tickets are also available, from 50 - 60 DKK. Watch out for the health and safety limitations for the rides. Toilets are available here and there. Some parts are flat and ♿️✅ disability friendly, but some parts have stairs.

Great experience. Was really nice walking and enjoying all the Halloween themed corners. There are some nice food stalls and also some nice cafe and restaurants so that makes it a really nice full experience with the haunted houses and all the rest of the amenities. Great overall.

Great day out, rides were good. Went on a few couple times. Wait times were around 30mins which wasn't too bad for most rides. Food was priced reasonably inside the park and you also had the food hall next door so had a few to choose from. Will definitely visit again when visiting Copenhagen.

Visiting the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen was a memorable experience. The sculpture itself is smaller than I expected, but it’s beautifully placed by the water and has a certain quiet charm. The surroundings are peaceful, with lovely views across the harbor, and it’s a nice spot for a walk. Even though it can get a bit crowded with tourists, it still feels special to see such an iconic landmark in person. A must-visit if you’re exploring Copenhagen!

The Little Mermaid – A Symbol of Copenhagen We visited the famous Little Mermaid statue, and while the statue itself is quite small, it’s definitely worth the visit. Nestled along the waterfront, the surroundings are absolutely beautiful, offering peaceful views and a scenic walk leading up to the site. The walk itself is part of the experience – calm, relaxing, and filled with lovely views of the harbour. Do keep in mind that it’s a popular attraction, so it can get quite crowded. If you're hoping for a quieter moment, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. A charming and iconic stop on any Copenhagen itinerary.

Copenhagen in the Spring is a nice, relatively quiet port with mostly the usual features of European / Scandinavian ports. The only unique attraction is The Little Mermaid statue, small but with it's own history of abductions, kidnapping and beheadings. If you're lucky your guide will give you the local story of the Little Mermaid which is more of a Danish Tragedy, so beware of little ears who are enchanted by the Disney version. It isn't magical but it's interesting lore. Here are a few other shots of the city as there are ample and better pictures of the Mermaid than I could get under the lighting conditions.

It's a little mermaid. Not much more than that. Be sure to visit the nearby fortress and church and windmill and fountain. Don't just come for the little mermaid. By the way... Great place for a run or walk around the fort and along the waterfront.

Small statue, big crowds. The place is super busy as there are organized tours to see the statue by land and water. I took public transport and walked along the nearby park and enjoyed spending time at the place as it's serene to just sit down at the benches and enjoy the views, further away from the crowds. It's a nice experience if you don't go there just for the statue. But the statue is nice to see in person.

A bit operated. Did not go very specifically to see this. When on another tour, the driver stopped here for a couple of minutes. The city so many more statues and sculptures which are much much more attractive. Example, when in the area, check out a sculpture near the National Museum/ opp Tivoli Garden entrance.

The Little Mermaid statue was definitely smaller than I expected, but I still found it charming. Sitting quietly on a rock by the water, she has a delicate, almost wistful look that really ties back to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale. I also enjoyed the setting by the harbor and made it part of a nice walk that included Churchillparken and the nearby monuments.

Such a cool experience! Loved seeing the historic location get reused in such a unique way. The audio and visual effects made it feel very other worldly.

The exhibit inside was underwater themed at the time so it was appropriate but the space itself was almost more interesting. Such a cool repurposing of an old reservoir. The water floor with grated walkway just above the water is a very cool feature as well. Highly recommend especially if you have the city pass as it's a pretty quick stop.

interesting, unusual place. there is no permanent exhibition but temporary ones, so what u'll see depends on when u visit it. In general , for those who likes smth not trivial and unique i can recommend.

I almost missed the entrance, but wasn’t thinking it’s underground so of course there’s not a big building in the park. Really cool spot with interesting art exhibition (quite spooky- it changes every year but I imagine it’s always a little spooky down there), some good rock formations, and info on the history of the cisterns.

Well that was an interesting place ! Not a huge art fan but this was a different experience. Deep underground, lit by mainly hanging weird lights with strange music playing this was definitely a place to explore. Add in the fact the walkways were suspended above water with no safety rails your wits were needed to stay dry. The history was nicely presented and was a great way to kill an hour. Paid for via Copenhagen card. If you have young children you definitely need to hold their hands to prevent them falling in.

Amazing experience! We went for the Psycho Sphere exhibition and it was just great! No need to buy tickets in advance, they don’t guarantee faster entry

Nice staff at the entrance. The expo was well done and immersive, creating a atmosphere that you can not find easily anywhere else. Could have spent hour just staying done here. feels like another world! Would have loved it to be bigger

A good park! You can unleashed your dog and walk it. It’s good all season

Lovely park for a break or run.

The People’s park has been open to the public since 1852. Lots of demonstrations and other gatherings take place here. A lovely park for stroll or jogging. It was hunting ground for royals long ago. It has a few famous attractions like the Water cisterne beneath the park build to ensure clean drinking water to the city during a cholera epidemic.

After visiting the Frederiksberg slot come into this forest and walk around in nature.

I have frequented this park for the past couple years now in different seasons, and its always a joy to come to. Its a great place to find a grass spot to plop down on and get some 'Grounding' time in. It gets a bit crowded for me during peak Spring/Summer months but its close by. Otherwise I bike to Amager for some extra seclusion.

Easily one of my favorite parks I’ve been to. The fountain is so pretty and the lawns are so well kept. A lot of people having picnics, playing with kids, and walking dogs.

Søndermarken is a hidden gem nestled right beside Københavns Zoo, and it offers a serene and picturesque escape from the bustling city. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful park, and I was captivated by its natural beauty and tranquility. The park is incredibly well-maintained, with lush greenery, colorful flower beds, and well-manicured pathways that invite you to take a leisurely stroll. It's the perfect place to unwind, enjoy a picnic, or simply immerse yourself in nature's embrace. Søndermarken's proximity to Københavns Zoo adds an additional touch of charm, as you can sometimes hear the distant roars of animals, which adds to the overall ambiance. One of the highlights of Søndermarken is the stunning Frederiksberg Palace, which stands majestically within the park. The palace's elegant architecture and beautiful gardens create a picture-perfect setting, making it a favorite spot for photographers and history enthusiasts alike. You can also explore the surrounding gardens, which are meticulously landscaped and offer a peaceful retreat from the urban hustle. The park features various amenities, including benches, picnic areas, and well-placed garbage bins that ensure cleanliness. Additionally, there are well-marked trails for walking and jogging, making it a great place for outdoor exercise enthusiasts. The presence of children's playgrounds also makes Søndermarken an ideal destination for families.

Overall the museum was a good cultural experience. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and professional in engaging in a rather difficult conversation related to some of what was in the museum and considered comedy of the Danish past. So that a larger crowd of non-Danish speakers can understand that the Danish understand the ignorance of the racist comic strips by Storm, it would be good to post that disclaimer in English until the rest of the museum has translation.

The place itself is in a very nice part of the city, but we much as I can understand the difficulty in translating the century old jokes, the fact that there’s no English translation to help guide you through made the experience very sour. As much as I like the artwork, I couldn’t risk getting something I wouldn’t understand.

Museum dedicated to Storm P., a danish cartoonist of the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition is small and quick to visit but very interesting, with works dedicated to social critics. Most of the descriptions are in danish but there are QR codes with the english version.

Quite a lot to see. Included in Copenhagen Card. Not full English translation, but it's art, so you should be able to understand most of them.

Interesting look into the history of humor and satire in Denmark The two exhibits on the main floor have English translations via an app, but the unfortunately, the upstairs exhibit of Storm P’s works do not I had hoped to get a general grasp on Danish humor here, but this did not happen

A fabulous place to visit to lighten up your day.. only visit with a translator

Its a nice and small museum they also have a valhala exhibition now.

Nice view from the top, you can also take a peek into the observatory up there. That's is also a shop with beautifully designed items (notebooks, post cards, posters, etc) that's adjacent to an art school exhibition. Plus you can take a look into the church's attic and learn about historic stuff

Totally worth the visit! It has a very cool architecture spiraling all the way to the top, ending with a rooftop deck, amazing views and also an observatory. It has some art installations inside too.

The round tower is a must see if you visit Copenhagen! It is Europe’s oldest observatory building and it offers breathtaking views of the city. There is an art gallery on one of the floors which has some interesting pieces

Great attraction right in the city center. The ticket costs around €8. The climb is easy, with very few steps, and the views from the top are beautiful — you can see the entire city from above. There’s also a small museum and a small art exhibition inside. I didn’t visit many attractions in Copenhagen, but I’m glad I visited this one.

Very interesting architecture. The ramp without strairs is amazing and beautiful. On the top, the view to the city center is amazing. Like it

This was kind of cool. You walk up this winding stone path to get to the top, and then you have a great view of the city. It is an observatory attached to the university of copenhan (i think). There is also a beautiful church to see.

So yes it's Copenhagen's Main tourist attraction, but it still offers plenty to justify the crowds and admission fee. The view is great, the ramp absorbs crowds, there are plenty of toilets, and some unexpected artefacts along the wall to the top. Even in a sunny Saturday with three cruise ships in town, the only area with some congestion was the top of the ramp. An automated traffic light system controls the flow of visitors through the narrow staircase which connects the ramp to the observation terrace.

We had such a great time exploring this botanical garden. What I love most is that the entrance is free if you don’t plan to go inside the glasshouse, which makes it very accessible for everyone to enjoy. The plant biodiversity is truly impressive — from peaceful water lilies and lush greenery to carefully designed rock gardens and shaded woodland paths. Every corner feels thoughtfully maintained, and you can really sense the effort to create an environment where both plants and wildlife thrive. The pond areas are full of life, with turtles, koi fish, and birds adding so much character to the place. I even spotted a magpie and a ladybird up close, which made the visit feel even more connected to nature. It’s not just a place to see plants, but a living, breathing ecosystem where you can slow down and appreciate biodiversity in action. If you’re tired of walking in the city and need a break, this is a great place to recharge. The walking paths are varied — some open and sunny, others shaded and tranquil. It feels like you’re moving through different little worlds within one garden. I especially enjoyed the mix of open views with the sky reflected in the water and more intimate trails lined with rocks and trees. Overall, this is a beautiful spot to spend a few hours, whether you’re here for a calm walk, photography, or just to reconnect with nature. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Just a beautifully scenic place right in the heart of Copenhagen and open to everyone with no entry fee. Lush greenery, roses blooming everywhere, and statues scattered throughout create a peaceful and charming atmosphere. People come here to relax, sunbathe, walk, or simply enjoy the surroundings. I visited in September, and the weather was perfect. You could easily spend the whole day there until it gets dark.

Copenhagen's Botanical Garden (Botanisk Have) is an absolute gem for anyone seeking a delightful and pretty stroll in the heart of the city. It's a truly restorative oasis, perfect for a leisurely walk amidst a stunning array of plant life. You can wander along charming pathways, discovering different themed sections like the rock gardens or the serene lake with its picturesque stone bridge.

A lovely botanical garden, filled with exotic plants and fun walks. The palm house was being renovated when we went, which was pretty cool to look at, they had a big mishmash of scaffolding and lights trying to keep the plants alive (not pictured, sorry). The signage to find your way around the construction wasn't fantastic, getting to glasshouse 2 wasn't as straightforward as it should have been. The rest of the glass houses are excellent, with a good level of information on what's going on there, much better than that silly Glyptotek. I would have liked more context, there were a few information panels that foreshadowed interesting facts, but didn't delve deeper. It felt like a place catering both extremes, people who want to look at pretty plants, and actually botanists, but it'd be nice if it had a bit more information throughout the entire garden for the people in between.. Shout out to the rock garden, of course, it's absolutely massive and got some cracking plants. Also, we went in October, with the season turning, the park section was begining to die back, still lots of nice things to see though. I'd definitely want to visit in summer. Long story short: lovely plants, give me more plant facts.

My visit to the Botanical Garden was one of the highlights of my 4 days in Copenhagen. The two (long ago man-made)mountains of hundres of species were amazing...I came back twice to walk through this beautiful assimilation/integration of plants.

The Botanical Garden in Copenhagen felt like a hidden pocket of peace right in the middle of the city. As soon as you step inside, you notice how calm and green it is, even though you’re still in the center. The paths wind beautifully through the garden, and you keep discovering new plants and flowers along the way. I really enjoyed just sitting on a bench for a while and taking it all in. It can get a bit busier on weekends, but the atmosphere stays relaxed. If you’re looking for a little escape from the city buzz, this is the perfect spot.

Absolutely lovely! One of the best Alpine gardens I’ve ever seen. There are over 1000 species of rhododendrons and the variety of flowers/plants is just incredible. If I want to compare, It’s much more impressive than the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens. Incredible design and maintenance. Kudos!

Combine your visit to the Little Mermaid with this Military Fort Visited on Thursday, 31st July 2025, after being dropped off to see the Little Mermaid Statue, I took the opportunity to visit this army barracks. Still an active army site, so the access was limited, but what you could see was wonderful and provided the opportunity to walk the moat mounds that surround the fort. Cycling isn't allowed, but it appears the site is not supervised.

I visited Kastellet in August and it quickly became one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. The fortress is beautifully preserved, with its colorful red and yellow buildings and the iconic Danish flag creating a picture-perfect setting. Walking along the star-shaped ramparts gave me great views of the city and the harbor, and I loved the calm, peaceful atmosphere despite being so close to the center. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy the history, and relax in the green surroundings. A wonderful spot that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen!

The Citadel is far more than just a tourist attraction and it is fascinating to watch tourists, the Danish military and members of the public coexist in the sprawling complex. Young cadets man both the entrances to manage car traffic but you can otherwise see joggers, curious tourists and other pedestrians walk freely in and out enjoying the pleasant sights and 360 degree views. It is well worth a visit and spending around an hour to check out the inner fortification as well as the battlements, as it is effectively a living museum.

Kastellet in Copenhagen is one of those places that feels like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but it turned out to be one of the most pleasant and memorable walks of my trip. The star-shaped fortress is beautifully preserved and surrounded by green spaces, canals, and well-maintained paths. Walking along the ramparts offers great views of both the city and the sea. It’s a great spot if you enjoy nature, history, or just a quiet stroll away from the busier tourist spots. The area is not only scenic but also full of charm — with red barracks, a picturesque windmill, and the lovely St. Alban’s Church nearby. Everything feels calm, clean, and safe. It’s hard to believe that a military site could feel this peaceful! I especially appreciated how locals use it as a jogging or walking route — it makes the place feel very alive and integrated into the community. It’s also free to enter, which is a bonus. If you're visiting Copenhagen and want a break from the usual attractions, Kastellet is definitely worth your time. It’s a perfect mix of history, beauty, and serenity.

Free entry and a beautiful view of the harbour of Copenhagen. There are lots of people running and walking. A quiet and peaceful area in the city.

This was a neat area we stumbled across after looking at the mermaid. I really enjoyed the windmill, and all the red buildings were really neat as well. No fees or entry cost to enter.

I was stunned by the care which had been taken for these old buildings and I loved dwelling over the old bastions... The windmill, the view, the cobblestones... They transfer you back in time. Simply recommended!

King’s Garden is a beautiful green space right beside Rosenborg Castle 🌳🏰, right in the heart of Copenhagen. On a sunny day, the greenery and blue sky make it absolutely stunning 🌤️. You get a great view of the castle from the garden and can click some lovely photos 📸. Note — there’s no direct entry from Rosenborg Castle, the garden has a separate entrance outside. A peaceful and must-visit spot in the city 🇩🇰.

The King's Garden (Kongens Have) is a must-visit in Copenhagen! Dating back to 1606, it blends royal history with peaceful gree spaces. Stroll past statues, fountains, and colorful flowerbeds, relax near the Hercules Pavilion, or enjoy a sunny picnic. Open daily with free entry, it's perfect for both history lovers and anyone seeking calm in the heart of the city

The Rosenborg Castle is free to walk around and enjoy. I did not go in...The exterior is lovely...you can then walk next door to the King's Garden/Park and see the gardens, the tree-lined walkway and the espalted garden...the rose bushes were extraordinary...especially a newer yellow species developed in Germany.

Kongens Have, or the King's Garden, in Copenhagen is an absolute delight, offering a truly lovely and pretty walking experience. As Denmark's oldest royal garden, it's a living piece of history wrapped in lush greenery. The well-maintained paths, often tree-lined and leading to charming features like the Hercules Pavilion or the statue of Hans Christian Andersen, make for incredibly picturesque strolls.

Cracking garden this, lovely grounds, nice wide pavements and big open spaces to have fun in the middle of the city. The planted areas are looking a bit worse for wear, it being autumn, but there still showing signs of being tenderly cared for. I can only imagine how good it looks in summer. There are fun statues around the park as well, a walk around it whilst killing time before you go to the airport is well recommended.

"A fish never discovers its need for water until it is no longer in it" These words, from Frans Trompenaars, rang in my ears as I walked around Kongens Have on an overcast but mild Sunday afternoon. Partly this was because my brother said them, but I also like to think a powerful metaphor can be drawn here. There are some fish in the waters which create the boundary between Rosenborg Slot and Kongens Have. On this afternoon they were attempting to extricate themselves from said water in a manner I can only describe as akin to a cultlike group suicide pact. This was caused I believe by their desire to be fed by the onlooking tourists. I had no food with me so just splashed their exposed backs with the water a bit. To me, this whole situation smacked of something larger. Parallels can be drawn between these bold fish seeking sustenance from beyond the murky depths, and the Danes which populate the surrounding streets of Copenhagen. Denmark has a famously insular society. Suspicion and awareness of outsiders are taught at a young age, and the cultural, political, and legal systems of the country do not make it easy for internationals living in the country to integrate. Copenhagen, however, has seen a boom in tourism in recent years. Overnight stays from international tourists increased 87% in the years between 2012-2019. This, combined with the number of migrants who call the city their home, has changed the feel of the Danish capital immeasurably. Danes who choose to live in Copenhagen are doing so in spite of their own reservations and fears at the ebb, change, and potential loss of their own nation’s culture. One could say they are just like the fish in Kongens Have, seeking to emerge from their water but not fully understanding how. Rest of the park is quite nice too - there’s some good trees and statues and stuff.

This is Kongens Have, the King’s Garden — spread just beyond Rosenborg Castle, where Danish royalty once wandered. It’s a broad, open expanse of green, mostly lawn, trimmed and tidy, with long walking paths that crisscross between patches of trees and neatly kept flowerbeds. Marble statues stand watch here and there — noble, a bit weathered, as if they’ve seen centuries of quiet afternoons like this one. No one’s playing games or picnicking or frolicking — it’s more a place for gentle strolling, for couples holding hands or locals cutting through on their way home. It’s pleasant, peaceful, even regal in its restraint. But honestly? Not quite the showstopper its royal name might suggest. A fine garden, yes — but more for the calm than the spectacle.

Frederiksberg Palace, a magnificent Baroque gem, offers a glimpse into Danish history and grandeur. While the opulent interior spaces are not currently accessible due to a fire in 1859, the palace itself and its surrounding gardens are a sight to behold. Highlights: 1. Striking Baroque Architecture: Admire the palace's impressive exterior, designed by Danish architect Ernst Brandenburger and inspired by Italian Baroque style. 2. Beautiful Gardens: Explore the sprawling Frederiksberg Have and Søndermarken gardens, offering a peaceful escape and scenic views. Visit Tips: 1. Combine your visit with a stroll through the charming gardens for a well-rounded experience. 2. Consider joining a guided tour to delve deeper into the palace's history. Overall, Frederiksberg Palace is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone who appreciates beautiful architecture and gardens.

Frederiksberg Palace stands proudly atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Frederiksberg Garden — a quiet yet stately reminder of Denmark’s royal past. Built in the early 1700s for King Frederik IV, the palace was inspired by the Italian and French baroque styles the king admired during his travels through Europe. The architectural symmetry, ochre-yellow façade, and formal layout reflect a monarch eager to project taste, sophistication, and power. Originally intended as a summer residence, the palace was later expanded and became a favored retreat for several Danish monarchs. It also played an important role in royal education: King Christian VII spent time here, and his son, King Frederik VI, was largely raised at the palace. One fascinating episode in the palace’s early history was the visit of Peter the Great of Russia in 1716. On his way to meet his Danish allies during the Great Northern War, Peter visited Copenhagen and was received at Frederiksberg Palace. Known for his curiosity and hands-on interest in architecture and military matters, Peter allegedly climbed up to the palace dome himself, rather than wait for keys, which amused and shocked the Danish court. His visit underscores the international stature of the Danish crown at the time — Frederiksberg was not merely a royal summer house, but a diplomatic stage for Europe’s most powerful rulers. Though it no longer houses royals, the palace has retained its aura of quiet dignity. Today it serves as a military academy, yet the interiors (when open to the public on select days) still reflect the opulence of Denmark’s baroque age. Combined with the peaceful gardens below, it’s one of Copenhagen’s most atmospheric and historically rich landmarks.

We tried to go in but gates were closed. Castle ground is nice and well maintained. Walking upto the castle through the park was enjoyable too. There is not much to see from the outside exterior. Very unimpressive. We looked through the gates and inside the middle ground. I think all the charm is inside the castle. Maybe next time.

I only visited the gardens outside the palace. Very nice place for a picnic or getting some sun. Many weddings happening around the park, the newlyweds take pictures by the summer palace of the Royal Family.

While not normally open to the public, it is very much worth visiting the Officers School for its proud history and the amazing view it offers of Copenhagen if you ever get a chance.

Really nice castle Doesnt take many hours to see all though.

Huge palace and very well maintained.. The palace overlooks Frederiksberg Gardens with waterfalls and rows of linden trees along the palace terrace. Have rich historic background on each architectural planning… it is close to Copenhagen zoo… can have pleasant stroll from city center to have nice time either in early morning or evenings.. find food options in the palace garden could be tough ai better carry enough fluids… highly recommended place to visit if you are in Frederiksberg or Copenhagen

Had a few hours to spare during my day and it was included with the Copenhagen card so I decided to see what's inside by curiosity. It was better than expected! It's a museum where you can learn about Guinness records from around the world about different categories : sports, animals, food, ... You can find also a section with games you can play. It was very fun and I really liked this part of the museum. It's fun if you have some time to spare or for kids but it's not a must-do in Copenhagen.

A fun interesting place to visit, which is located in the most random place amongst shops, we walked past it at first. It is covered on the discovery card which gives you 2 out of the 4/5 experiences they have. Alot of interactive things to take part in which kept the kids entertained. We enjoyed our visit here as a family.

It was a very positive experience for me and my family. We saw and tried a lot of funny competitions 😁. It's definitely worth a visit.

The Guinness World Records Museum is a fascinating and engaging stop. It’s packed with astonishing records and fun, interactive challenges that make for a highly entertaining experience. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for something fun and different!

It’s only worth it if included in the Copenhagen pass card. Middle exhibitions more interesting than the beginning. Museum of curiosities at the end horror theme not suitable for young children even I was too scared to follow the exhibit

It’s okay—nothing very special. Some records are clearly scams, and for most, it’s just a display or a picture. Tickets for kids over 11 and adults cost 169 DKK each, which feels expensive for what you get. Aside from the Guinness records, there are stations where you can play games and try to break records, which can be fun for kids. If you have children and they enjoy this kind of thing, it might be worth it. Otherwise, it’s not an exceptional experience.

Very enjoyable attraction, interactive displays and interesting exhibits. Our Guinness records mad 11 year old really enjoyed it

Had some time to spare and it was "free" with the Copenhagen Card so we thought why not? It’s a very kitsch museum with all sorts of things. Mostly focused around the weird and unusual stuff or animals or even humans. It is a fun experience if you have some time but I won’t say it’s a must do in Copenhagen.

It's a fun weird place to visit. I found there were some creepy corners there but it was not too scary. You should consider it when bringing your kids here. Some may like it and some may feel scared.

There used to be a Ripley’s in London so I was so excited when I found out there was one here. It was included in our Copenhagen card. So much fun, I have to admit though I do miss the mirror maze that London had. But still, fun and educational for all ages!

I had a really fun and pleasant experience with my family. There were lots of funny moments, but also interesting and educational things to see. It’s an interactive museum, and I’d definitely go back again!😊

It's ok, but far from spectacular. Everything looked kinda worn out. Not worth the price unless going with the Copenhagen card.

Take this with a grain of salt, because it’s just my personal take. It’s a cool experience if you’re with kids, but for an average adult with normal common knowledge, it gets boring after seeing five or six exhibits. Some displays are fun or odd, but overall, it doesn’t really hold your attention for long. Good for a quick visit, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

Cool museum, but the hans Christian Andersen experience was not worth the money. Overall a cool museum.

This small park is very well maintained and has a lot of beautiful and interesting flowers, bushes and majestic very old trees. All plants have a name tag with the Latin name as well as the Danish name. The park was very peaceful when I visited and felt like a very nice place to relax. There are many benches in the whole park so you can find a spot that suits your mood and preferences. Definitely worth a visit.

This small park is a gem hidden away in Copenhagen (Frederiksberg). It is being kept but the gardener students of the school that is situated right next to the park. Every plant, tree, bush, etc. has a small sign telling the name of the species. This makes the place feel so serene, because you can really go on a journey and get to know the names of so many things, you might not have known already. The are a bunch of small pathways leading through the trees and bushes, making a walk through the park feel adventurous and magical. It is not allowed to play ball/throw freesbee, listen to music on a speaker, grill, bring dogs or bicycle. This makes the park enormously calm and quiet. So if you wanna go for a peaceful stroll or wanna sun bath (should the sun ever be out 😉) then this is the place to visit. I highly recommend this park! One of my favorite green spots in Copenhagen 💜

This park is very quiet and nice. It has a pod in the middle surrounded by vegetation that is carefully taken care of. Every time I go there it is even better maintained than the time before and it has always been my "go to" place for peaceful walks while I had my daughters sleeping in the pram. There are benches all around to sit down and enjoy the surroundings and a beautiful rose garden that flourishes in Spring.

Absolutely must to visit when someone is in Copenhagen and wants to experience a beautiful and calm nature environment in the middle of the city. Amazing plants, each of them has a tag on it with the name and its origin. Perfect for a quiet walk, even for picknic.

Roses smell like teen spirit

Gorgeous! There’s a lot of flowers starting to bloom and everything has a little sign so you know which flower or tree is which. There’s a lot of cherry blossoms blooming right now so this is the perfect time to go. Super cute. Also great of you want to have a picnic or go on a date!

Very interesting and very old collection It is still in active use for research. It is part of the university Beautiful garden. Especially in summer.

A park with a playground and exercise equipment, skater areas, and a cycle path. There is also lots of graffiti and a few sculptures. Designed to promote tolerance and unity between local people and immigrants. It was fun to visit, but it had a bit of a run-down feeling to the area. The area is accessible to people who use a wheelchair, but there was not any specialist play equipment for disabled people to use.

as a tourist not much to here honestly. Seems to be a popular spot for locals though. seems like the the concept behind is to promote international ties and the place embraces attributes of other cultures in different forms

Superkilen is a very different park in Copenhagen, it showcases the diversity of Nørrebro, with design elements and objects from all over the world. You’ll find everything from Moroccan fountains to Thai swings and even a neon sign from Russia. The space is divided into three areas: the Red Square (great for skating and people-watching), the Black Market (more relaxed, with chess tables and benches), and the Green Park (for picnics and play).Perfect for photos, meeting locals, or just taking a walk through global culture, all in one neighborhood. If you’re visiting Copenhagen, this is definitely worth the stop.

This is the most creative park I’ve ever seen. Its unique and unusual appearance, along with the futuristic design, really appeals to young people. I truly admire the kind of person who could come up with something like this. I absolutely love this kind of cool, chic design. The photos came out absolutely stunning!

Nørrebro Park is a hidden gem in Copenhagen! Visit during cherry blossom season for a magical experience-soft pink petals, peaceful walking paths, and vibrant area. Perfect for walk, photos, or just soaking in springtime beauty. A must-see for nature lovers and city explorers alike!

It’s a pretty cool park but considering the other in the city it’s above average. A lot of things to do for the kids and also some calisthenic spot. It’s a must visit if you are around Norrebro.

Was good wish it had a larger park for toddlers

Lovely - and relatively unknown - collection of instruments from all periods and parts of the world, including some unusual and historically significant examples. A tablet with English (other languages available) translations of captions really helped the experience. Could have been improved and made less sterile with more audio examples.

I highly recommend this museum! It has a wonderful interactive tablet set up and so many glorious and informative displays!

Amazing place for music lovers. Close to "Forum" metro station.

One of the more interesting Copenhagen museums. The collection of instruments is not as extensive as, for example, in Berlin (especially clavier), comparable to the collection in Barcelona, but several souvenirs of Beethoven and Mozart are unique. Very interesting atmosphere of the Conservatory. unique decor, the smell of old wood in the corridors... Worth a visit! The only minus is the lack of a lift (or we didn't notice it).

Great musuem! Very modern, each display has an area you can scan using the tablet provided with the ticket, giving you all the translated information and more about the display. There are also a lot of interactive elements which are great fun! Could of easily spend 3hrs+ there!

I first visited this museum at its old home around 9 years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. It's new home is a bit clinical compared to its last but it is still well worth a visit. Some of the instruments are amazing - mind boggling, I mean who on earth designed them?? Or even first thought of the concepts? The man on the desk was extremely helpful, giving us the tablets with the English translations for all the exhibits, and more information about the actual museum. The only thing I cannot understand about this place - why is it so quiet? A museum such as this should be be full, busy, but it is so quiet - we were there a couple of hours and no-one else came in (also saw a similar note in their visitor book). If you fancy a fascinating option of what to do in Copenhagen, here it is!

Loved it. Great fun. Helpful staff. Loved the sound proof room where you can play instruments to your heart's content!

Very small but free. There was 4 rooms with some modern exhibition to see when we came. Only worth it if you are already around. Clean toilets available, you can buy coffee.

I cannot possibly rate free art anything less than 4 stars, but let me put it this way: I was rather glad that this experience was free. As it was, it was a nice little experience, had there been any charge at all, I probably would have felt a little ripped off.

Interesting little place. My second visit there. Not your usual art pieces on exhibition. "In the duo exhibition Arctic Stations, the two visual artists Tinne Zenner & Eva la Cour use visual art and film to explore the relationship between politics and science in the context of the geopolitical Arctic". They call themselves Cultural Centre. The beautiful little house can be rented. Recommended. Combine it with a walk in the beautiful park, Frederiksberg Have.

Contemporary art by Danish artist, in an old villa by on of the nicest parks in the Copenhagen area. Visit for a an insight into what I going on in the current Danish art scene. Friendly talkative staff and lots of locals.

It is a nice little building. I love old houses and decided to give it a go, was happy about my choice.

Very nice and friendly service.

Very small but nice museum. It's free so take a look if you are in the neighborhood. The rooms are absolutely beautiful.

Overall enjoyed this experience aimed at children, but enough back story for adults. Over in about half an hour. It was very dark inside even with the interactions lit up. At one point there was a glass door to push (not sure why?), and down the dark corridor the toilet was situated. Different languages were available on the story boards.

I was intrigued by this experience and had some time to spare. It was included in the Copenhagen Card which was convenient. The attraction is a walkthrough where you will hear stories from Hans Andersen books like Little Mermaid or Thumbelina. They made a nice interactive display that reminded me of Efteling in Netherlands. Very cute and magical. The only downside was that the experience was quite short because I wanted to see more. I would say it’s a must do for kids and older adults like me that are child at heart.

Well, I might not be the right person to rate, cause I love him so much and everything related to him makes me excited 😁. The innovation in the museum was great and the staff were so nice and kind. It’s worth going there 💪

Located in the same building right next to the Ripley’s Believe-it-or-Not Museum, this quaint little exhibit takes you through the life and some famous stories of the author Hans Christian Andersen. As a lover of the fairytales myself this was so charming and I thought the exhibit was thoughtfully designed and carefully planned out. Creative touches add a unique vibe to this kind of exhibit and I found the time passed very quickly. It was fun for us as a group of adults but I imagine kids would really enjoy it as well- particularly if they like the fairytales!

Pretty cool! Lots of creepy statues that this town seems to love. You learn a lot of history and it is in Danish, English, and German. Lots of cool things to interact with. Free with the Copenhagen card! It's worth a visit. Right near Tivoli gardens as well.

Please do go if you are a HCA fan, even better if you have kids as there is a section where you can stop by and read the stories or have them enacted live. Absolutely went back to being a kid in there. Ripley's Believe or Not! section was also good, quite a few interesting facts such as the tallest human in the world, lizard man and various art pieces such as one made out of toast. Yes, you read that right, toast as in bread.

A quaint little house, which takes you back in time. Very informative, but not really interactive. The house itself is tiny, it's hard to believe 3 families lived here. I'd definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area but it's easy to get confused and end up going to the actual museum by mistake...yup that's what we did.

Such a cute old place for theater and musical. I've only had great experiences here, so the management must be very good at selecting. Get tickets on the ground level if you can, but the room is not that big compared to other theaters in Copenhagen, so even in the back you can easily see it all. Most recently I watched the re-setup of Pride and Prejudice. I had the best time, so funny and absurd. Also, quite a nice selection of beverages at the bar.

I saw "I am gold" and really enjoyed the performance! The venue could have been better if the seats were hierarchically arranged, so that you had better visibility if you didn't sit on the first row.

A great hidden place, although in-between two highways, it's nice and quiet, since it's much lower down.

Beautiful little theater with everything you need!

Nice theatre / small koncert hall. With very friendly and service minded staff.

Real bad service with poor control over the crowd, the show was ok

Friendly, well organized, classic, simple theatre

So not worth it. Small and old famous “tricks”. Skip this one it’s nor worth the money or time

Outdated and worn out. Many of "scary" attractions were broken or not working properly. Not worth the price for 10-15min bland experience. We've had Copenhagen card so no big losses.

We tried it as its included in the Copenhagen card. Absolutely made my day when one part made my wife scream!

Don't skip this one!!!! Funny place better than the Guinness Museum. With CPH Card I got both

Loved it. Great for kids and adults!

Absolutely not recommended. It is a kind of annex to the Guinees record museum so the place is rather small, I think you can go through the whole venue in about 20 mins, max 30; then it is highly overpriced in relation to the time that you will actually spend there. Unless you are a 12 yo kid, any of the attractions would be scary to you. I get scary easily but even so I wasn’t scary at all, I found it very childish and simple.

This was terrible. I was really looking forward to going here as I enjoy weird and strange things. We’d already visited Ripleys and the Guinness World Records museum, which were really good, so I had high hopes that Mystic Ex would be the same. Firstly the attraction lasts 10 minutes. When we saw the exit sign at the end a lot of the other visitors, as well as ourselves, were wondering if we’d miss a lot of it out because it couldn’t possibly be over after 10 mins. Secondly, all but one of the interactive exhibits were not working. The rest either didn’t work at all or half worked. The interactive exhibits were very poorly done and I’ve seen more impressive stuff at a travelling fairground! Overall it was rubbish. Don’t waste your money and don’t even waste your time even if you get a free token to go.
