Beyond Copenhagen with kids

Is it better down where it's wetter? Find out at Denmark's National Aquarium.

If you’re after a slightly different outdoor experience, you should definitely investigate the unique natural landscape of the former Royal Danish Air Force Base at Værløse. 20 kms northwest of Copenhagen, this is where history and nature collide in very unusual accommodation.

Does your kid dream of becoming a fighter pilot or perhaps of sitting behind the wheels of one of the very first cars? The Danish Museum of Science & Technology is the perfect playground for curious children as well as adults. Here, you can use all your senses while testing old and modern technology.

Visit a middleage village museum in Brøndby and step into a true time warp. Here, both children and adults can enjoy a historically educational and active experience visiting the medieval times.

Visit Ishøj Dyrepark and get close to some of the municipality’s longer-haired residents. Take the family by the arm and enjoy the beautiful surroundings - or pass the time at the park’s nature playground.

Meet the sea creatures in the Sound and become more aware of the mysterious life under the sea. The Sound Aquarium is Denmark’s cosiest aquarium, where you can meet and touch the many marine animals living in the Sound.

At the end of Amager Landevej, right up to the fence leading to the runways is Flyvergrillen (The Airplane Grill). A historic gathering place for aviation enthusiasts and a favourite destination for many families over the years.

Kagefryd is a warm and cozy café. Stop by and eat your way through delicious snacks, have a nice cup of coffee, and enrich your life with cake.

A bakery where ingredients and craftsmanship are geeked to perfection. In the heart of Lyngby you will find the small bakery Enlil - an organic sourdough bakery. And it's definitely worth a visit.
