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!

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.

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.

A museum definitely worth visiting if you're in Copenhagen. It's perfect for all ages, lots to do…read moreand see, it's very interactive. 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. The prices tend to be a bit more but I think that's just the usual with museums. My family and I had a great time, we spent about 4 hours here.

An amazing building from Zaha Hadid, one of my all time favourite architects! The museum is small…read moreand has two exhibition areas in two floors. The exhibitions change all the time so check the information before you go. The rooms guide you through the museum easily. The cafe is amazing as it has glass walls on both sides and makes you feel like being outdoors in the nature. The yard of the museum is large and has some interesting art installations. Good for a Sunday trip/walk. Ideally go there when the weather is nice so you can enjoy the yard. By public transport you need to take the train to klampenborg and then a bus which leaves you just around the corner. Quite easy to find. There is also a closer train station which when reaching with bike takes about 10 minutes to bike to the museum.

This museum has some pretty impressive paintings and can be combined with a rail trip to the…read moreLouisiana (it's a 2km walk from the rail station on a suburban street). The time involved in getting there from Central Copenhagen, the small size and the expense (110 kroner I think) means it's probably not worth it unless you are really into Impressionism and works from the same era.

The greatest zoological museums are Naturkunde in Berlin or Zoological Museum in London, and…read moreZoologisk Museum is not near in that class, but it offers something else. You can get pretty close to a range of stuffed animals and skulls. This is fun for children, but the old biologist also use a lot of time with the skulls. The museum is small and intimate. You can do it in 2-3 hours, if you do not linger like me. It's situated in the two top floors at the Zoological Institute of Københavns Universitet (UCPH). Take the lift or the stairs from the small gift shop at ground flor. By the lift you can start your visit in an area used to changing exhibitions. Learn at the website, what it is right now. From this room you can enter an icecave. In the cave you visit the big mammoth, and you can begin to explore the fauna of Denmark though history. After the stroll though history, and can learn a bit about nowadays fauna in Denmark. It's an old and very poor part of the exhibition. The last thing at this floor is the school service. It's the place with stuffed animals and skulls. In school holidays they have university students with all kind of exciting things here. At the top floor you can walk your way from the Artic to the Anartic, and the great evolution exhibition.

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.
