Kids' Copenhagen
|
|
|
Copenhagen is a child-friendly city, and a recent baby boom has meant that places without facilities for children are few and far between - even the more exclusive cafA©s and restaurants now have high-chairs and children's menus. The low level of traffic makes the city easy and relaxing to explore with
kids
, while if your children are into cycling, there are cycle lanes throughout the city, and it's generally very safe. Boat trips around the harbour and canal are also a surefire hit.
Most of Copenhagen's museums cater for children in some way, so travelling with kids doesn't mean you have to miss out on the city's cultural side. Some, like the National Museum, have made a special effort to involve children and make sure they have a memorable experience. A number of galleries, such as Louisiana and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, also have good children's sections where you can unload your children while you go off and do your own exploring.
FA¦lled Park
is especially popular with kids, and its wide, open areas are ideal for relaxing and letting the children loose.
Kongens Have
is also very child friendly, staging free puppet shows every summer (June-Aug daily at 2pm & 3pm) on the Kronprinsessegade side of the park; on the other side, by the Hercules Pavilion, there's a novel children's play area complete with dragons for clambering on. During winter,
ice skating
is a favourite pastime for the city's children - there are free outdoor rinks at Kongens Nytorv and Frederiksberg Rundel (skates can be hired at both). Other useful information
