This region is home to 700 miles of coastline and 90 islands, including Fyn, the third largest island in 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!

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.

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.

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.
