Copenhagen For Kids

There is a lot to do in Copenhagen for kids.
There are beaches nearby, amusement parks in the central - and even art especially for children.
Tivoli is probably the most popular attraction for kids.
With a Multi-ride ticket they can try all 28 rides in Tivoli as many times as they like.
In the meantime you can sit on a bench enjoying the flowers and the music.
They should also not miss The Pantomime Theatre with the white faced Pierrot.
Something all children will enjoy.
The Experimentarium is "living science" with the use of all five senses.
Here the kids can experience 260 interactive exhibits on nature and technology, subject-centred around a series of scientific areas.
Furthermore there are frequently changing exhibitions.
Fun for both kids and adults.
The Copenhagen Zoo is home to 3,300 animals and 264 species - from Greenland to Africa.
Especially for kids there is a Children's Zoo, where they can pet animals like goats and rabbits or watch the show at the children stage.
In the middle of the park there is an Eiffel-like tower (40m/131 ft.
) with a nice with of the surrounding Frederiksberg.
At the National Gallery ("Statens Museum for Kunst") there are exhibitions at children's eye-level.
Here the kids can visit the workshops and create their own works of art by working with clay, paper, paint and other fun materials.
Furthermore there are so-called "Children's stations" where they can experience the artwork in new and playful ways.
There are actually "beaches" in the middle of Copenhagen.
Close to the centre there are the harbour baths with clean water at Islands Brygge and Fisketorvet.
Children's basins are to be found in both places.
If you want a real beach with sand, you can take a trip to Amager Beach Park with many activities in and around the constructed shallow lagoons.
A really nice place in the summer.
You can walk to the harbour baths, and if you want to visit the Amager Beach Park, the easiest way is to take the Metro to the "Amager Strand" station and walk the last part.
On a rainy day Denmark's Aquarium in Charlottenlund, north of Copenhagen is a nice place to be.
With 300 colourful fish, sharks, electric eels and octopuses, there is a lot for the kids to see.
Maybe the most fascinating is the piranhas that flense anything in less than a second.
The kids can also touch some of the aquatic animals or see when the fish get fed (only during weekends and holidays).
