Tour Details
Full Description
Imagine stepping into a storybook with your kids, where every street has a tale to tell and every landmark in Copenhagen hides a secret waiting to be discovered. That’s what our Kid-Friendly Copenhagen Tour offers—a magical 2.5-hour guided family tour through Denmark’s capital, designed especially for families with children who want to see the city through curious, young eyes. We begin at the grand Amalienborg Palace Square, home to the Danish royal family, where kids can watch the iconic Royal Guards march and learn why they wear such tall furry hats. With a little luck, we might even catch the Changing of the Guard, an event that feels more like a royal parade than a daily routine. From there, we stroll to the nearby Frederiks Kirke—better known as the Marble Church—where children are always awed by the enormous dome and beautifully decorated church interior.
Our local guide, an expert at engaging young minds, will share tales of kings, queens, and ordinary Copenhageners, inviting kids to take part through guessing games, scavenger hunts, and role-playing. Then we continue into the peaceful Royal Garden (also called Kongens Have), a favorite stop for families. Here, kids can run around on the grass, pose next to statues in the park, or enjoy a short break at the playground while the guide shares fun facts about King Christian IV, who once used the garden as his own royal backyard. We’ll also spot Rosenborg Castle in the distance, and kids might start imagining themselves as knights, queens, or treasure hunters—especially when they hear that real crown jewels are hidden inside!
And of course, no tour would be complete without meeting Copenhagen’s most famous resident: The Little Mermaid statue. Sitting quietly on a rock near the harbor, she waits for visitors from around the world. Children love hearing the original Hans Christian Andersen fairytale (a bit different from the Disney version!) and learning about the statue’s history. Along the way, our tour isn’t just about walking—it’s about interactive learning for kids. We keep children engaged with story breaks, creative challenges, and visual prompts that bring Copenhagen’s culture to life. Parents often tell us they learn just as much as the kids, and they love how relaxed and fun the tour feels. The pace is gentle, stroller-friendly, and full of moments for curiosity to take the lead.
