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

Copenhagen Zoo is a beautiful and well-maintained place with a great variety of animals and impressive enclosures. Arctic Ring with the polar bear was absolute highlights. It’s very family-friendly, with plenty of space, playgrounds, and cafés for a relaxing day out. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it for the experience and the care shown for the animals.

This is one of the best zoos in Europe we have been to. Such a wide selection of Animals to see and sharing the same habitats. Was nice and quiet at was a week day. Shame there was no Capybaras as suggested they have here.

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

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.

Very cool experience, although the ticket price is a bit steep for a one-exhibition museum (albeit, in a cool, unique space). It’s cold, dark, and not very friendly for mobility-impaired guests, so I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. Kids might find it a bit scary. But that also makes it very cool and moody. I look forward to returning for the Marina Abramacić exhibition coming in March 2026!

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

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.

Went to a cool exhibition in the old city cistern, that was in the middle of this gorgeous city park.

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.

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

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.

This garden is lovely. The weeping willow by the lake is so peaceful. The trees were lovely in the fall.

A quiet and beautiful garden. It has many nice flowers and lots of benches to sit. There is an entrance in the north and the south. The north entrance is near the entrance of the big park. The south entrance is along the road to the carpark.

A very nice little green oasis in the middle of the city. Very calm and lots of places to sit and enjoy nature No matter the time of year.

Such a nice cozy beautiful little garden with so many different kinds of landscape design and a lot of little attractions and charming corners. Very romantic place.

“Secret Gardens” that’s not so secret. :) I really felt like I discovered a beautiful hidden garden when I wandered into this garden in the evening, and then I came back early in the morning for my run. The garden is well manicured with fountains and fragrant rose gardens and much more... While the Fredericksberg Have is a very popular park, I didn’t see very many people in the garden so this seemed like a great place for me to get some quiet and peace. :) I also noted a couple of buildings on my way in, a very fancy restaurant and an event space that was hosting a free art exhibit. (Shown in my photos)

Hidden jewel, so not crowded. Also not a picnic place so much less noisy like other parks in Copenhagen.

Fantastic escape into quietness of the beautiful nature in the center of Frederiksberg. Great place for a walk or a cosy time with friends. One can enjoy reading a book on one of the benches and enjoying the view. And right by its side there is Frederiksberg park also to enjoy.

Very beautiful and hidden park. Went in the autumn/fall and it was still beautiful. Has a Japanese feel to part of it. And a very nice rose garden. Would highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area
