Time Out says

What is it?

Slap bang in the heart of Copenhagen, opposite its main station, these 25 rollercoasters, multiple snack stalls and fairground games are ready to put a smile on your face. In summer, touring acts (Rick Astley and Take That most recently) play intimate gigs on the lawns. Visiting is a classic Copenhagen experience.

Is it worth visiting?

Yes it is – and not just if you have kids! There is a wide variety of rides to suit all levels, and the gardens are beautiful (look out for peacocks!). It’s open in three seasons: Christmas (mid November to January), Summer (April to September) and Halloween (October to start November).

How long will I spend there?

Upwards of two hours. The theme park has an entry fee and rides cost extra. If you plan to stay all day, buy a wristband and you can try every ride; if you’ve only got half a day to spare, pay for rides individually. 

Is it free on Tuesdays?

Entry to the park costs 160 kr per adult and 80 kr for children aged 3-8. Those under 3 go free. 

Where’s good to eat nearby?

Tivoli is a known foodie destination. Check out some of the best local Danish eateries at Tivoli Food Hall, try the city’s award-winning burgers at Gasoline Grill or score food from Michelin-starred chefs in its pop-up Japanese Pagoda restaurant.
