As far as places to take kids to explore, every city has some variant of a kid's fun center…read more Sometimes, it's wrapped as purely as entertainment, which I'm not opposed, but as a parent, I would like just a little more. Others are wrapped as Science Centers, which as you expect, I'm more keen on.
On our travels to Copenhagen, we had a day of free time, and with a kiddo, and snow coming down outside, our destination was... the Experimentarium.
As a place that is designed for young minds, and to make learning entertaining, it's does it exactly that. There is a wonderful spiral staircase that takes you up to the various levels of exploration.
Highlights include an interactive theater, where you get to move around in a story. Another is an oversized ball conveyer, which when you take your time to play with, gives you an opportunity to really delve into what it takes to move cargo around the world. Neat.
On another floor, there is a wonderful food section, which talks about food, how it's made, farms, waste, and how we can do better.
For the kiddos, there is a section that includes a bunch of activities with cameras that takes photos across the tasks, so you can bring the fun home. There are plenty of things for them to touch and play with across the entire center, including a Lego section, which makes sense, since Lego was founded in Denmark, and still headquartered.
Worth it? Yup. Go again? Yup.
Recommend? Yes.
