The Ruins under Christiansborg Palace

The royal rooms are impressive, but the underground ruins are often the more interesting part for kids.

Huge sculptures and brightly painted rooms give kids something big and visual to focus on.

Cannons, armor and military equipment give kids lots of big physical objects to look at instead of tiny things in cases.

Mostly for adults, but colorful objects and the beautiful upstairs rooms can work with design interested older kids.

A polished kids section right on the main shopping street makes this easy to fold into an adult shopping day.

The buffet is useful with kids because they can take tiny amounts of pasta, salads and vegetables until something works.
