It is hard to tell which museums are most suitable for children. It depends on the museum, its themes and type of exhibition, as well as the ages of the children, their interests and mood on the day, and, not least, the ability of the parents to explain what they're experiencing at the museum. More and more museums have realised that children like action and to touch and feel the exhibits. Therefore, several of Denmark’s museums offer special activities for children, and quite a few of them also have re-enactment programmes where, for instance, children can watch formidable knights jousting.

Denmark has several exciting automobile museums, among others Aalholm Automobil Museum which is one of Europe’s largest with some 200 interesting cars from the end of the previous century and up to present day. However, it is not only cars, but also motorbikes, farming machines, tractors and other mechanical equipment that can be studied at museums around the country.
Location: Near the town of Nysted on the island of Lolland.

Toy museums are a sure hit for every family with children. Here parents and grandparents can take a trip down Memory Lane and probably tell many interesting stories about when they were children, and the children can be impressed and maybe a bit amused by the slightly primitive toys that granddad once had to entertain himself with.

Exploring an underground limestone cave is exciting for grown-ups as well as for children, and Denmark actually has some quite impressive ones. In Daugbjerg Kalkgruber (Daugbjerg Limestone Mines), you can reach a depth of 60 metres below the surface and – equipped with a candle – walk into the inner corners of the mines. If that is not exciting enough, you can participate in one of the daily treasure hunts for children.
Location: near Viborg in Central Jutland

Mønsted Kalkgrube is the world’s largest limestone mine – an endless maze of galleries with caves as large as cathedrals and narrow passages where a grown man cannot walk upright. Here is excitement for the money. Mønsted Kalkgrube is easily reached from Viborg and Skive in Jutland.

Thingbæk kalkminer (Thingbæk Limestone Mines) belong to the most special of Denmark’s museums. The view from the mine entrance is a unique sight as here you have a view of Lindenborg Ådal, towards Denmark’s largest forest Rold Skov and the famous Rebild Bakker on the other side of the valley. In the church-like arches, a fine collection of sculptures made by Anders Bundgaard and C.J. Bonnesen is on show.

The Danish experience centres offer total experiences where you can usually see, smell, try on, feel and sometimes even taste the things on display. Here you can get close to our ancestors and e.g. experience the atmosphere on a real medieval market or see how the important salt was seethed in the early days. In working workshops you can experience old handicrafts, and if you feel like it, there is ample opportunity for active participation.
