Damhussøen

Silly toys, games and stationery make this a fun low stakes stop where kids can actually afford their own souvenir.

The big open room and relaxed setup make this Sticks'n'Sushi easier with kids than a tiny sushi bar, and the menu has plenty beyond raw fish.

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

The elephant house, polar bears and huge playground make this an easy full day even if the kids lose interest in animals.

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.
