Vikings, crabs and canoes are waiting for you!
Active families will enjoy Denmark’s many outdoor possibilities, whether they’re relaxing on the beach, biking through the countryside or ice-skating in the heart of a city in the winter season.
Rent a canoe or bring your own and go canoeing down Denmark’s largest river - Gudenåen (The River of the Gods) – it might sound scary, but the slow-flowing creek is child’s play and is fun for the whole family. There’s plenty of history to discover too. Don't miss the opportunity of experiencing the Viking way of life. Visit one of Denmark’s Viking centers or spend a day at a Viking market – Middle Age Festival in Horsens is worth visiting.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the best holiday experience. Fishing for crabs, flying a kite or taking a stroll along the beach and with endless miles of sandy coastline, you’ll have much of it all to yourself.
Be prepared for bony fish, water parks and rollercoasters Denmark offers a wealth of opportunities when it comes to amusement parks – be prepared for friendly and well-planned parks where you don’t feel overwhelmed. Elephants, giraffes and rhinos are waiting for you in Givskud Zoo and at Northern Europe’s biggest aquarium – the North Sea Ocenarium – you can learn about sunfish and be introduced to the world’s largest bony fish. If you’re into water parks, spend a day in Fårup or Djurs water world parks.
The world’s first and still biggest LEGOLAND is to be found in the homeland of LEGO itself, Denmark. Here you can raft down a 25-foot waterfall in the Viking River Splash or get a turbo-charged ride on LEGO Extreme Racers. There are also many good reasons to bring yuor children to Copenhagen – the Tivoli Garden is one of them. It is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and will make every child’s eyes sparkle. Here is fun and excitement, lots of entertainment, rides and music.
Feel free close to nature or stay at a child-friendly theme hotel If you love the great outdoors, Denmark's many campsites offer the opportunity to feel free close to nature. You can rent a holiday cottage in the countryside or by the sea in scenic spots such as the Jutland coast or north Sealand. Of course, Denmark also offers many large hotels like Hotel Legoland in Billund or the brand new Tivoli Hotel in Copenhagen. You'll never be bored when you stay in one of Denmark’s many holiday centres. There is always something happening - games, sports, and many other activities for all ages.
