Tivoli Gardens
Copenhagen’s landmark amusement park, Tivoli, is Denmark’s biggest
attraction. Tivoli Gardens opened its gates to the public in 1843.
Not surprising, Tivoli is one of the oldest amusement parks operating
today. The park is open from April through September and then again
during the Christmas season from November 18th until December 23rd.
The park opens daily at 11 am during this time.
 The
twenty-one acre amusement park provides an assortment of entertainment
including children’s rides, shooting galleries, games of chance,
a hot air balloon ride, and one of the scariest wooden roller coasters
around. In addition, there are numerous free events including outdoor
concerts and theatre performances. Pickup a guidebook at the ticket
office. The guidebook includes a map of Tivoli along with a calendar
of events. There are plenty of dinning areas scattered throughout
the park ranging from gourmet restaurants to informal cafes perfect
for lunch, dinner, or taking a break from the rides. There is no
better place then Tivoli for sampling Danish cuisine.
Tivoli enchants its guest with palaces, a swan filled lake, and
thousands of colorful flowers. In the evening, the park is illuminated
with thousands of lights giving it a magical look. Every Saturday
just before midnight the park ignites the sky with a brilliant display
of fireworks.
Tivoli is a celebration of life. There is no place else that exudes
Danish culture like Tivoli. It’s no wonder why the park attracts
over 4 million visitors per year.
