This action-packed amusement park in the heart of Copenhagen is a great destination for families. It is one of the oldest theme parks in the world.

Denmark is home to two of the oldest amusement parks in the world and one is located right in the centre of the capital. Since opening its doors in 1843, Tivoli Gardens has been cherished by the locals and enjoyed by visitors to Copenhagen. More than just a theme park, Tivoli Gardens hosts live music every day across a number of venues and is home to some of the city’s best restaurants.

Tivoli Gardens welcomes over 4 million guests every year. It is a great family destination with attractions that cater to all ages. For many visitors who arrive in Copenhagen by train, Tivoli Gardens is the first attraction they see as roller coasters pass above Central Station.

Jump aboard one of Tivoli Gardens’ roller coasters for a thrilling experience. The rides at Tivoli range from traditional wooden roller coasters and carousels to modern interpretations of the classics. The Demon reaches speeds of over 40 miles (70 kilometres) per hour. Enjoy unequaled views of the city from the top of the Himmelskibet (StarFlyer), one of the tallest carousels in the world.

Stroll around the 8.5 hectares (21 acres) of landscaped gardens that tie the park together. By night, over 100,000 custom-designed lights illuminate the paths and trees. Enjoy a dragon boat cruise on the lake in the centre of the site, or take a seat in one of the waterfront bars and restaurants. The best known place for fine dining is Noma, which has been praised internationally and is known for its innovative dishes based on traditional Nordic food.

Tivoli Gardens is located in central Copenhagen and can be reached by bike or on foot from many downtown hotels. The central train station is located next door and some street parking is available in the area. Tivoli is open daily from April to September, but only for limited times during the rest of the year. There is an admission fee.

Order tickets online to avoid queues getting into Tivoli, also take some food with you, there are places for meals but they fill up really quickly.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Buy a ticket for all the rides if you think you will go on more than 1 or 2. The tickets for single rides inside are expensive. Or get a Copenhagen Card if you intend to visit museums/galleries

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

We weren't interested in the rides but as we had the Copenhagen card we had a walk through the park - Fireworks every Saturday night around 11.45 - we watched from the Rathuis pavement

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Tivoli Food Hall has very uncomfortable seats - not a place for a long stay.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Pricey but worth it. Go for the companion ticket, which allows one adult to ride with child (child wears two wristbands, so the adult companion can change from ride to ride). Can easily spend entire day here.
