If youre north of Copenhagen this is worth going to. The grounds alone were stunning and the museum…read morewas super lovely. Its laid out kind of wonky but we figured it out (it easy to get lost in all the hallways!). Beautiful sculpture gardens and lots of interesting art. I liked seeing the danish art most but there are some Warhols etc. We ate at the cafe and it wasn't our favorite meal of the trip but you'd be able to find something in a pinch. Worth the visit if youre in copenhagen and have the time (its an easy trainride)- we paired it with Kronberg Slot as its only about 10 minutes away. Great gift shop as well if you need presents for friends back home.

Loved everything about this! Worth the trip for sure. We loved the cafe and the Sophie Calle…read moreexhibit. The new exhibit on the main floor was outstanding. Best thing in Copenhagen for sure

Good museum, fantastic exhibition (Nothing to hide). A must-see if you are visiting Denmark!read more

This is a Museum you have to visit if you want to understand Danish history. All houses look cute…read moreand romantic, but in reality people had a really really hard life. Especially women- I think. This Frilandsmuseet is actually collection of houses from mostly the 19th century. They are very authentic and you can still feel and smell life at the time. I liked all the buildings, but most impressive was old wooden windmill, yellow spooky hospital and fishermens house. Everybody can find something they like. But most beneficial is to see how fortunate we are to be born in these days. I feel respect for old generations (not only Danish) and also more understand how important education and evolution in every direction connected to life. Even though I have 5 stars, I think there may be little bit more to add to this place. For example showing original old crafts (smith, fabrics making, cooking, shoe making, beer making, ....) so we could touch, smell and taste flavor as our ancestors. The ponies for kids and carriage for adults were nice, but more hands on activities would be great. I had a lot of fun with my family and hopefully we will be back sometime soon!

We visited the castle on a Sunday around noon. Semi busy and we saw a couple of guided tours…read more 4 levels that were accessible via a spiral staircase. (Elevator was available also). Restrooms were located in the lower level. Tight spiral staircase with the lower level having a Dungeon atmosphere. We enjoyed the period paintings both on the walls and ceilings (some were breathtaking). The Castle has housed the Museum of National history (since 1878) with a collection that presents 500 years of Danish history. The furniture, Grand rooms, Knights armor and overall decorations transport you back to a time long ago. My only wish would have been to have more posted information/signage about what was in view. There is also a Church attached/next door which wasn't open to the public when we first arrived as there was a wedding. Opened up when we finished our Castle tour so we walked next door and spent some time there. Organ was playing so it added to the peaceful vibe and complemented the architectural beauty. It took us about 1.5 hours for Castle and Church although we didn't explore the grounds and the garden area in the back -so would recommend 2.5 to 3 hours for all. Saw a small Cafe. Service minded people were helping visitors with questions and ticket purchases. Really impressed by this Castle as well Hillerød.

Lots to see. The castle is very elaborate and ornate. Of you're in a Copenhagen, you should…read moredefinitely visit.

Almost missed this petite designer's house located behind the Ordrupgaard Museum! The space is…read morebeautiful--with Mid-century modern furnitures designed in the 1940s-1950s, and the rooms are especially aesthetic under natural sunlight. The staff were very friendly and kind. We were glad we saved some time to visit this hidden gem, after seeing the main exhibit at Ordrupgaard.

However, I feel like the museum was inadequate. The actual museum was the converted church, filled with his tools and explanations on how he investigated the sky and measured the heavenly bodies and pulled his theory. The rest of the ground was his former estate and we also visited this (TINY) underground observatory that was super tiny that you could only fit 10+ people in. I guess it's not their fault that they have only "THOSE" to exhibit, it was just my expectation that it would be so much more, but if you're ever in Ven, this place is a must visit. It is located in the "town", and it takes a lot of effort to bike up here (the highest point of the island) LOL but you can't really miss it on your visit to Ven, can you?

This place was a bit out of the way of Central Copenhagen (it took us 55 minutes via public…read moretransportation from our Airbnb but we lived south... closer to the airport) but the concept of "one of the largest open air museums in the world" pulled me in. And I wanted to learn more about Denmark and it is touted as a child-friendly place. I brought my two kids ages 4 and 8 plus my adult friend. It is also included on the Copenhagen Card! Essentially, they've rebuilt/restored Danish buildings and houses through history (aside from the mill - the mill is the only building that is in its original spot) all in one spot. They have little workshops where kids can do little crafts and such for an additional fee as well as places to sit and eat throughout the outdoor museum. There is a map (we mostly winged it) and you can walk into the buildings to explore. It did drizzle here and there, but that didn't stop the kids! We went on a Sunday morning and we were the only foreigners there who looked foreign. There were a lot of families there teaching their kids about their own history, though! They do speak English there so no worries. My youngest has multiple food allergies and he couldn't have any of the ice cream they offered there (I got an Equal Eats card for him with everything in Danish, just in case). The employee actually took the card and read through the ingredients list of each ice cream bar one by one. Unfortunately, they all are produced in the same facility so there was a possibility of cross contamination. Thankfully, I brought him food so he didn't starve. I did get myself a hot cocoa (nice and thick, not too sweet, and the homemade whipped cream on top was a good contrast). The kanelsnurrer though? That was great. Fresh from the oven and I must say that Danish cinnamon rolls are superior to what I've had in the US. Sorry. (But not really.) Super fragrant, soft but with slightly crispy edges, and you can actually taste the spices! Towards the end, the kids just played around in the rocks near the Mill and even made friends with some of the Danish kids while the adults took a break! Overall, a good time. They also have an amazing gift shop! We spent a lot more time than expected they're looking at everything. (But they aren't joking when they said it's expensive in Denmark.) Tip: The Classic Car House is right across the street, is included on the CPH Card, and has something for both adults and kids.

The integration of how economic changes affected the culture and individuals' lives is done well in my opinion. Exhibits throughout include English text. I get the sense that the museum tends to get a lot of school children coming through and my favorite section is this assembly line, where two teams compete with each other to put together an apparently three-component product. The screen above them shows their productivity and it's a great immersive way in my opinion to understand what it's like to work in a factory, with all of the time pressures involved.
