Tivoli Gardens is both an amusement park and a pleasure garden, open since 1843 in the middle of Copenhagen. Its entrances are under five minutes’ walk from Central Station, Vesterport and City Hall Square, so a car is not needed. The park opens in seasons rather than all year, with summer, Halloween and Christmas seasons, and its hours change from season to season. The one thing to understand before buying: a gate ticket lets you into the Gardens but not onto the rides, and both are priced by date, so a day of rides costs more than the entry price alone suggests. Beyond the rides, the Gardens host concerts, ballet and theatre, and there are plenty of places to eat.

Why kids will love it

Tivoli is an amusement park set inside a pleasure garden, so the rides are only part of what is behind the gate. A long run of event days through the year is covered by the entrance ticket rather than sold on top, which means a slow afternoon of walking, watching and eating is a real way to spend the visit and not a consolation prize. And if the whole family is not up for a full day inside, the Tivoli Food Hall can be entered from the street side without paying to go into the Garden, so lunch is a decision you can take separately from the visit itself.

Tips & tricks

Buy a multi-ride wristband rather than individual tickets if staying more than two hours — it pays off after four or five rides. Arrive at opening to beat the queues for the most popular rides, and bring a change of clothes if visiting the water rides in summer. Evenings are prettiest but also busiest with adults; families with young children often do best in the first hours after opening.
