Copenhagen Contemporary

A huge waterfront food market gives kids room to move and everyone can choose their own meal.

Chairs, objects and family activities make Danish design much more concrete for kids than a normal art museum visit.

Old medical tools and body science can be fascinating for older kids who enjoy the slightly creepy side of museums.

Pair the royal rooms with the guard change outside so younger kids get something active before or after the museum.

Historic beams and a waterfront location make this feel special while still putting major sights within walking distance.

Small boats make this feel more personal than a big sightseeing cruise, and being on the water is half the entertainment.
