Copenhagen Zoo

Wooded paths and hills feel wilder than the formal park next door, especially good for kids who want to explore.

Dark underground reservoirs filled with changing installations make this feel mysterious and completely unlike a normal gallery.

Canals, lawns and views into the zoo make this perfect for a slow picnic day with plenty to look at.

Cartoons, comedy and visual humor make this easier for kids than a museum where everything depends on reading long labels.

The old brewery setting and rooftop spaces give older kids something interesting while parents get a stylish neighborhood stay.

The horses and historic brewery buildings give kids something concrete to enjoy even though beer is obviously the adult story.
