This was the first castle we visited with the children and it was very cool. Even though the day was quite bleak, the visit was well worth the trip and as it was kind of an unplanned visit, once we arrived we were very impressed.
Highlights- the Great Hall, the artwork, the spectacular chapel and for me, the organ in the chapel (that consequently celebrated its 400th year in the chapel this year).
2. Nyhavn

Copenhagen's Nyhaven, or "New Harbor," is actually steeped in a long heritage. Colorful buildings line the canal and hint at a history of small-vessel traffic. Like many ports, this strip has a salty history, rich with sailors, drinking and Literary exploits. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen made his home in Nyhavn as well. It's cleaned up now and is a lovely place for a stroll.

The houses painted in their different colours were gorgeous. We took a biat trip and saw them from the water which does give you a wonderful view. What did surprise us was how small the street itself was. Most of the houses had some form of advertising on them and right in the middle there was an elaborate "gentleman's club" with photo's of women on the outside. They weren't rude photo's but seemed to help towards spoiling your impression of Nyhavn. Of all the places we visited on Copenhagen this proved to be our least favourite due to it being overcrowded & full of cafe's & restaurant's spoiling the view & atmosphere of the place. There was so much litter in the harbour too - no doubt from us tourists. Glad we saw it but wouldn't rush back.
3. The Circus Museum

Explore amazing costumes, fun props, and watch rare footage at the museum. Almost every Sunday (11am-12:30pm) and every opening day in July, you can also try out everything from juggling to trapeze. The museum puts on special events during the holidays. The museum is closed during the Christmas holidays. Check the website for special events.

We held an 8-year-old's birthday party here. Although not cheap, the price includes up to 25 children (if memory serves) so it's actually one of the better options out there. It's out of the city centre, but easily accessible by train or bus.
I was very impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff: Mie who did a super job of showing the gang around the museum, in English, and the acrobatic lady who took over the last part of the party and taught the kids how to juggle, walk a tightrope and even swing on a trapeze.
There is only one tiny thing; the whole event takes 3.5 hours, and I managed to misunderstand the website information, where it says that the kids can put on a circus show at the end. It would be super if there were an extra line in there specifically stating that parents who want to see the show should come back half an hour before the end (to allow for twits like me who didn't get it). :-)

Since the opening back in august 2013 I have been visiting this super nice cinema integrated in the shopping center, Rødovre Centrum. Surprisingly lot of space both inside the cinema as well as outside in the lobby. No one have to struggle for the armrest, for they are all double and of course extra legroom and nice comfortable chairs too.

We went to Tivoli on the 2nd day it was open for the spring season and it was decorated beautifully. Made for some fabulous pictures. We had a Copenhagen card but did not realize that you pay to enter and then you also pay for any rides and of course any food/drinks. Not unlike other “theme” parks. The weather was cold and grey so we did not feel like doing any rides, but we did enjoy walking around and seeing 2 of the shows offered. Quaint theme park with so much history. We went out of the park for dinner and then came back for coffee/dessert and to see the laser show. It was worth it. You shouldn’t miss Tivoli especially around the Easter season.

...and it is quite lovely. A well maintained and cared-for local beauty spot, very popular for picnics and general laying around when the weather is nice. The trees, shrubs and plants are usually labelled so that your curiosity as to their names can be satisfied. Plenty of ducks and a couple of healthy ponds, a stunning rose garden, plenty of seats and a quite nice cafe, run by students. Generally food isn't available before I think 11 am, but if you're hungry there might be wrapped sandwiches available, left over from yesterday. They serve nice coffee. A very popular park. Note that Dogs simply are not allowed, on a lead or otherwise - this makes it safe to just throw yourself down anywhere on the grass for a relax without having to check carefully for you-know-what beforehand. This is an excellent and very welcome rule. Also note that mobile BBQs, grills etc are similarly not allowed, although of course you can have a picnic (pre cooked) any time before the park shuts at night.

Hvidovre Harbour is a marina situated at Hvidovre Beach in the western part of Kalveboderne south of Copenhagen. The marina consists of an approximately 300 meters long and 60 m wide basin between two piers with capacity for about 200 yachts. The area is home for a hunting and motor club, a sailing club, a rowing club, a kayak club and the lake scouts as well as "Susets Køkken", a restaurant.
You can enjoy views of Kalveboderne, a wildlife sanctuary and EU bird protection area,
and visiting Lodsparken located on the north site of the marina and enjoy the only beach in Hvidovre located in Lodsparken two minutes walk from the marina. A perfect place for a walk and to explore the nature.

In Sondermarken you can go for your running in a nice green spot in the middle of the city. Run your intervals or more hill climbing or just lay on the grass and be inspired by the past looking at the beautiful Frederiksberg Castle. Finishing off with a visit to the very old Zoo just across the street. Amazing.

I visited mainly to see the polar bears in weather that was similar to their natural environment. Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen, so that was a big disappointment. There were also a lack of animals in other enclosures as well, such as the brown bears and the musk ox.
The zoo can be quite confusing to walk round, as there appears to be no natural route, and there is a lot of doubling back. Some enclosures were very good, others I felt were too small for the animals they contained.
