About a 20-minute drive north of Copenhagen, Bakken amusement park is a folksy version of the Tivoli, with numerous restaurants, cafés, and fun things to do - especially for younger children.
Believe it or not, this has been a leisure facility since 1583. There are no less than six roller coasters and more than 30 different rides, including a ghost train.
The surrounding wood and parkland is particularly pleasant, and there are excellent train and bus links from the city-center for those who aren't driving.
