I had read that Bakken was the oldest amusement park in the world, and I really wanted to visit while we were in Denmark. We stopped by in early September, but they weren't open during the week. We saw other people go in a gate and we followed behind. We asked some kids if it was open, and they said it wouldn't be open until the weekend, but the grounds were open to the public. This was the first opportunity I've had to explore an empty amusement park, and it was enjoyable even without active rides. Honestly, even if there are no rides running, take some time to check this place out - and avoid the crowds lol! read more

See all

I really enjoy Bakken. My kids are young so the rides here are perfect. It is free to enter - just the food and rides cost money (and lots of it). You can get a wrist band as a day pass and its just a blast to walk around and watch folks. Some bring picnics. There's a zoo area as well which I have not explored. read more

this ain't disneyland. bakken, according to wikipedia, is the world's oldest operating amusement park. it's free to enter the park and you pay per ride. the beers are probably the cheapest drink you can buy inside but you could also pack a picnic to eat in the deer park that bakken is attached to. it looks a bit rough around the edges but a nice place to take the kids to. if you are only into big and fast roller-coasters, just have a beer and a softice and watch the crowd. read more
