The Museum, over 700 square metres in size, comprises galleries, shop and a workshop - all with a common theme - teddy bears! The Museum's collection, with more than 1,200 teddy bears, reflects the versatility in style, materials and creativity of the teddy bear as an art form. Enjoy a piece of cake and a cup of coffee, or a light lunch in the Teddy Bear Cafe. Take a stroll round the beautiful park filled with trees and flowers in "Edith's Garden".

An amazing collection with plenty of information and friendly helpful curators. Even if you have no particular interest in bears the history is fascinating. Lovely little cafe on site too.

Marstal Sofartsmuseum

Reviewed By VikingKangaroo - Copenhagen, Denmark

A great local museum that gives you a taste of the seafaring history of Ærø. It has an amazing collection of art that shows so beautifully the life of early Denmark and its seafaring past. There are lots of small seafaring treasures donated from the local community as much as from other sources. This gives you a very complete picture of the shipbuilding past especially. It is spread over 3 buildings each with their own focus. It is interesting for kids and also for adults. There are facilities for wheelchair users and there are good bathrooms. It takes about 2 hours to see it. There are some fun hands on things to try and the staff are really sweet and their English is really good...which when you are a tourist is really appreciated. Well done. We will be back next summer!

The Danish Railway Museum

Experience the history of Denmark’s railways in the authentic roundhouse from 1954. We have 21 tracks featuring iconic engines and carriages. Look inside the royal carriages, experience travelling first class and see Denmark’s oldest preserved steam engine from 1868. You can enter many of the museum’s engines and carriages. You can sit on the old wooden seats or stand in the driver’s cab of a steam locomotive. We provide a rewarding outing for the whole family, and visitors of all ages are welcome. Visit the child-sized Children’s Railway Station, brimming with trains and rails for you to play with. Go for a ride on the popular mini-train which runs every day. It is possible to enter many of the carriages and engines. All activities are free once you have paid the entrance fee.

We visited a while ago when staying with friends in the city. We're coming back later this year and my daughter has already asked to come again. We enjoyed the vintage trains, and the ride on the minature railway. A great day out, and fantastic value for money.

The Funen Village

Take a trip out to our outdoor Museum - a village from the time of Hans Christian Andersen, where everyday life is as it was in a 19th century Funen rural environment. Mediators from Living History give you an exciting, authentic glimpse of what everyday life was like back then, operating as farmers, craftworkers, labourers and servant girls in historical dress.

Naturama

The red deer bellows. There is lightning. The bear wants to be cuddled. Get close to the animals while lighting, sounds and films change the atmosphere in the room. Tasks and information about the animals in English. SPIDERS: Special exhibition with live spiders and fun activities.

This place is great for both adults and kids. Our 2 year old son has been here a couple of times now when we return to visit family in Denmark and he always rushes around pointing at the animals shouting their names with excitement. The long spiralling ramp and long stairs make it easy for him to navigate between levels too.

Danmarks Forsorgsmuseum

The Welfare Museum is housed in Svendborg's old Poorhouse, a unique set of buildings showcasing an important period in Denmark's welfare history. Doors open into a world that up to now has been hidden from most of us. Here, we learn some of the stories surrounding the many people who lived on the dark side of society: the poor, the sick and the homeless who lived here, whether briefly or long-term, during the 102 years when the Poorhouse operated. Traces of the hardness of their lives are everywhere. The Welfare Museum conveys to the visitor a feeling of the past that creeps under the skin.

Visited Svendborg last week of July 2020 and came to see the museum with my 12 year old daughter and I was surprised how big the welfare museum was. This is great place to experienced to discover how the welfare state Denmark treated the poorest up until 1974. The museum was very interesting how this place kept so well and allowed to show the world to gives a glimpse of an understanding of how life must have been with the poor people way back then. If you visit Svendborg and see other interesting place include Danmark's Forsorgmuseum as part of your itinerary because it is worth visiting and to learn the history in the past of the place.

Ribe Vikinge Center

Reviewed By Merlinloiv - Tartu, Estonia

The visit to Ribe Viking Center was very exciting. I was able to put my hand on various attractions and try archery, woodwork, knitting with needle. The vikings who were in the houses were happy to answer the questions and I gained a lot of new knowledge. The Center also has a farm with many animals: cows, sheep’s, pig with piglets and some friendly cats. In the middle of the day there was an exciting bird show and in addition you could see a cool performance where viking played with fire and did some juggling.
