Nature Playground at Valbyparken

Multiple themed gardens and a huge nature playground make this worth traveling to rather than treating it like a local green space.

A quieter harbor swim with platforms and city views, best with confident swimmers rather than toddlers.

A playground, ball areas and big open lawns make this an easy neighborhood park when you want several options in one place.

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

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.

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