This is sadly no longer on the Copenhagen Card so we shelled out money for this. If you buy it…read moreonline, it's cheaper than buying in person so remember to plan ahead and buy online!
It's located right along the coast and the design of the building fit in perfectly. There were a lot of families there (on an overcast Wednesday in July) so it, quite possibly, was one of the more crowded destinations on the itinerary.
The place was separated into three sections: Nordic fish, Rainforest, and the Ocean (I'm pretty sure it's ocean...). They also have a large eat-in area and a little cafe stand type place for coffee, other beverages, and small bites. There are also lockers and a rather nice outdoor area (the sea otters are there!) with Hansen Ice Cream and supposed food trucks. We went out and got ice cream. My youngest has food allergies and they were super nice and looked up the ingredients lists! Thankfully, he could have the flavor he wanted. A note for vegetarians: they have a partnership with sustainable fishing company, which I think is awesome! But there are no vegetarian options for kids here, entree wise.
My favorite section was the Rainforest. They have free roaming animals including poison dart frogs and even a sloth! Funny enough, I didn't find either of those but I did see many birds, butterflies, a tortoise, and bats. Not to mention the fish in the tanks there that includes piranhas. I could probably spend a lot of time there just trying to find all the animals they have. My friend found a poison dart frog so they are there (they are tiny so they have ample places to hide).
Overall, both the adults and kids enjoyed it! I paid 219 DKK for myself and 118 DKK for each of my kids, so around $35 for adults and $19 per kid. They have a gift shop with the most amazing plushies! The most expensive one there was a few hundred USD that was just over the size of a carry on luggage. Overall, rather pricey but I managed to get a small (but the softest) sea turtle as a gift and a magnet for my fridge. Despite needing to pay, I felt like it was a good experience!
Don't forget to say hi to the humongous sting ray in the ocean tank! They all have digital signs that switch between English and Danish and you can click on each animal to learn about them more in depth. I loved that! (If I didn't have kids with me, I would have stayed much longer.)
