Things to See and Do in Copenhagen with Kids
Traveling with children may sometimes prove to be more than challenging. How do we visit a museum without the kids getting bored? Which café is kid-friendly or what fun activities are there to do, so the youngsters enjoy the trip as much as we do? If questions like that keep popping up in your head, stress no more. This list will give you enough choices for your trip to Copenhagen.
Museums
1. Louisiana Museum
Museum, Park
Louisiana Museum offers a special area for kids four to 16 years old, where special workshops take place every day from 11.00am until 5.30pm. The little ones have the chance to explore artists’ and architects’ working methods and expressions through painting, drawing and sculpting. The specially designed wing offers a great variety of materials and combines play with knowledge. Keep in mind that children under six years old must be accompanied by adults. After the workshop, kids and adults can soak up some sun and enjoy a great view of the Øresund strait at the museum’s café.
2. Experimentarium
Museum
Little scientists will be fascinated with a visit to Experimentarium. The science center offers high quality exhibitions that guests are allowed to touch, play and experiment with. With this innovative approach to science, Experimentarium is anything but boring. Children can challenge themselves with mathematical and logical problems, learn how much energy is required for our daily habits or travel through the tunnel of senses and discover how smell, sight, hearing and touch evolve through time.

Denmark is the birthplace of Lego, so a huge Legoland park couldn’t be missing from the scenery. The amusement park offers plenty of activities for adults and children of all ages. This spot has more than 50 attractions and rides, a one-day excursion may not be enough. It is located at Billund, approximately three hours from Copenhagen, but there are buses that stop right outside the park.
8. DGI-byen
Swimming Pool
DGI-byen swim center will certainly keep youngsters busy for several hours. It has five different sized pools so everyone can enjoy some moments in the water. Located just next to Copenhagen Central Station, this place makes getting there more than easy. Plus, the area is full of cafés and restaurants, where you can enjoy a refreshment after you’re done with bathing. Last but not least, while kids play in the pool, adults can revel in the heat of the sauna or get a 30-minute massage.
