This is a beautiful park. On the south end is a section called Lördagsplan, which is a quiet,…read morescenic stretch of park that feels made for a slow walk or a mental reset. A tree-lined path runs alongside the water, giving it a calm vibe without trying too hard. It's peaceful, breezy, and very Malmö in that understated way. Perfect for a stroll, a pause, or just watching the water and pretending you're not on a schedule.

King Oscar's Park is gorgeous and its fantastic views are not to be missed if you're ever in Malmö!…read moreAfter getting off the train at Malmö C, I wandered the canal until I eventually landed myself here. The day itself was my favorite kind of day, a gentle rainy one that most would consider unpleasant or dreary. Not me. I purposely don't take summer vacations or vacations to hot places. My goal for the first part of my day was to visit the Malmö Museum (Museer in Swedish) and Castle (Malmöhus Slott), but I also made time to really explore the Kungsparken, or King's Park, as well. This was really an unavoidable thing anyway as I had planned to continue to follow the canal into town to meet my friend after work for dinner, shopping, and goofing off. I'm big on the free outdoors when I travel, you can tell. I enjoyed the little clusters of flowers most, but also the canopy of different tree species and the series of trails, bridges and passageways along the canal, which borders one end of the King's Park. Weeping Willows create shade and privacy. I found the park very romantic! The many benches along the trail would have been perfect for a rest, but alas in the rain that was not an option. It's an 8 plus acre park, and a complete circle would be great exercise. The route I took through altogether was 2 miles of walking. If you're headed to the castle fortress and museum anyway, you can't miss it. Note: The Yelp listing also says "Zoo," but if there is one in here I didn't find it...

As far as places to take kids to explore, every city has some variant of a kid's fun center…read more Sometimes, it's wrapped as purely as entertainment, which I'm not opposed, but as a parent, I would like just a little more. Others are wrapped as Science Centers, which as you expect, I'm more keen on. On our travels to Copenhagen, we had a day of free time, and with a kiddo, and snow coming down outside, our destination was... the Experimentarium. As a place that is designed for young minds, and to make learning entertaining, it's does it exactly that. There is a wonderful spiral staircase that takes you up to the various levels of exploration. Highlights include an interactive theater, where you get to move around in a story. Another is an oversized ball conveyer, which when you take your time to play with, gives you an opportunity to really delve into what it takes to move cargo around the world. Neat. On another floor, there is a wonderful food section, which talks about food, how it's made, farms, waste, and how we can do better. For the kiddos, there is a section that includes a bunch of activities with cameras that takes photos across the tasks, so you can bring the fun home. There are plenty of things for them to touch and play with across the entire center, including a Lego section, which makes sense, since Lego was founded in Denmark, and still headquartered. Worth it? Yup. Go again? Yup. Recommend? Yes.

You can bring outside food and drinks but you just can't drink it near the play areas. There is a cafe that serves burgers, fries, hot dogs and pastries. The seating area is big.

This is sadly no longer on the Copenhagen Card so we shelled out money for this. If you buy it…read moreonline, it's cheaper than buying in person so remember to plan ahead and buy online! It's located right along the coast and the design of the building fit in perfectly. There were a lot of families there (on an overcast Wednesday in July) so it, quite possibly, was one of the more crowded destinations on the itinerary. The place was separated into three sections: Nordic fish, Rainforest, and the Ocean (I'm pretty sure it's ocean...). They also have a large eat-in area and a little cafe stand type place for coffee, other beverages, and small bites. There are also lockers and a rather nice outdoor area (the sea otters are there!) with Hansen Ice Cream and supposed food trucks. We went out and got ice cream. My youngest has food allergies and they were super nice and looked up the ingredients lists! Thankfully, he could have the flavor he wanted. A note for vegetarians: they have a partnership with sustainable fishing company, which I think is awesome! But there are no vegetarian options for kids here, entree wise. My favorite section was the Rainforest. They have free roaming animals including poison dart frogs and even a sloth! Funny enough, I didn't find either of those but I did see many birds, butterflies, a tortoise, and bats. Not to mention the fish in the tanks there that includes piranhas. I could probably spend a lot of time there just trying to find all the animals they have. My friend found a poison dart frog so they are there (they are tiny so they have ample places to hide). Overall, both the adults and kids enjoyed it! I paid 219 DKK for myself and 118 DKK for each of my kids, so around $35 for adults and $19 per kid. They have a gift shop with the most amazing plushies! The most expensive one there was a few hundred USD that was just over the size of a carry on luggage. Overall, rather pricey but I managed to get a small (but the softest) sea turtle as a gift and a magnet for my fridge. Despite needing to pay, I felt like it was a good experience! Don't forget to say hi to the humongous sting ray in the ocean tank! They all have digital signs that switch between English and Danish and you can click on each animal to learn about them more in depth. I loved that! (If I didn't have kids with me, I would have stayed much longer.)

All in all a great experience and it can be recommended to anyone wishing to visit such a place.
