Circus Museum 
The Circus Museum in Hvidovre southwest of Copenhagen offers a different museum experience for kids where there is room for laughter and wonder. At the museum it is possible to try the artistry on your own body in the activity room where the children can dress up and pretend to be a juggler, line dancer or clown in the mini circus ring. The museum also has shows, work shops, guided tours and lectures. Listen to entertaining stories from the circus world and get to know it better.

Danish Maritime Museum
The Danish Maritime Museum at Kronborg Castle in Helsingør (Elsinore) is 2,000 square metres of colourful maritime history from the Middle Ages till today. Look at objects from the voyages to the colonies where the Danish vessels sailed with trading goods like slaves, sugar, spices, silk and china. See how little space the sailors lived on onboard the old merchant ships, and stick your nose in a glass flask and dream yourself 400 years back in time to a pirat ship with the smells of Madeira, tar and tobacco. Also experience the present's modern containerships. The Museum has child-friendly signs on the various objects so the kids themselves can be active.

National Museum
Everywhere at the National Museum you can see original things from ancient times. They are kept behind glass in exhibition cases. But not at the Children's Museum. There the kids can see and touch copies of the original objects and that way play their way through 1,000 years of history. They can see and try things that show them how people ate, worked, played and dressed hundreds of years ago. Visit for example 'Grandma's Wardrobe' and 'Granddad's Classroom'. There is also a drawing table with paper and colours and shelves with children's books on history. The Children's Museum is open daily.
