Tivoli Gardens is a charming amusem*nt park located in Copenhagen, Denmark that is popular with tourists from all over the world. The theme park features a wide array of attractions, including a precision-preened roses garden, globally inspired architecture, low-key spin-off of Michelin starred restaurant Kiin Kiin and a ballet theatre. There are also outdoor jazz, classical and contemporary music performances as well as illuminated by soothing fairytale lights.
This place is amazing. You can see how it inspired Walt Disney. You can walk around to enjoy the fine food and gardens without riding a ride. The food is high quality, not fast food. The shops are as nice as the ones found in town. As for the rides, the views from the tall swings are amazing. The ride on the old rollercoaster is fun and quite historic.The park changes clothes at night :-)

Nice amusem*nt park. Not very big but right in the city centre. Beautiful decorations for Halloween and lovely restaurants. Some restaurants are very expensive. They have menus outside so no nasty surprises.A few good rides. Some are very scary. We went in November in the afternoon. The queues for the rides took about 20min. The weather was a bit cold. They have some shops too. Our friends found something to buy there. If you like the rides, you can easily spend all day in the park.

🎡🎢🎠It's a very nice theme park with lots of interesting rides. I was so excited and having so much fun that I didn't take many pictures.😆 But the best for me is The tallest ride in the amusem*nt park I don't know what it's called, but it has seats like swing and it goes up and spins. Above, there is a very beautiful view overlooking the whole of Copenhagen.🇩🇰

I bought the entrance fee that did not include the rides... I was very happy just to walk around and view the gardens. I must say, that this was the most beautiful and green amusem*nt park I have ever seen And it was a real trip to be able to walk under the roller coaster. (I had never seen that before.)Also plenty of eating places and shopping areas.

I just paid for entry as I'm not a fan of rides. But the place was lovely lots bigger than I expected, it had a lovely atmosphere. I would recommend to visit at around 6pm in the summer have a wonder in the daylight maybe grab something to eat and then you will see it in the dark too. It was the night which made the place even more stunning

Such an amazing place. The gardens themselves are beautiful. The rides are great and they have such a variety. There are quite a few rides for young kids around 3 years old. There’s so much to do and the space is so well utilized that you don’t feel like you’re walking for miles on end. This is a must visit place in Copenhagen.

The park is super beautiful, the haunted houses were super fun to go to and just the whole vibe of the place was amazing. The Halloween decorations were also super fun. The only downside is the price of entrance and for the rides, which was quite high in my opinion. Even though the prices were high I can't wait to go again for the Christmas theme.

I think if not the best, one of the top parks in Europe. Great restaurants, coffee bars, theaters, garden, entertainment park in such a great combination. Especially if you visiting when it's ready for Christmas. So many activities and entertainment you will definitely enjoy! Must see for sure.

You can certainly see where Walt Disney got his inspiration for a theme park. It was beautiful, although I expected more gardens. The music on the stage was really good. Of you like rides, pay for the package deal up front. Individual ride tickets seemed high

Stunning place. Relaxing and just a great place to visit. An oasis in the city centre.Gardens / Theme park, choose what you prefer or both. Either way it's got a relaxed atmosphere.If you visit Copenhagen this needs to be on your jobs list.

Had an amazing evening here! We bought the compete package (entry and unlimited rides and photos) and definitely made our money's worth in rides. Lots of options, from super kid friendly to super scary (the Demon). So many food options, but gasoline grill gets special mention for their huge fries portion. If you are there on Saturday stay for the light show and the fireworks. If you have time while in Copenhagen this will be a fun night out.

A unique place. Rides, an aquarium, gardens, restaurants and barsVery easy going and family friendly atmosphere. Queues were short and the ride pass works so well.It seems small but has an incredible amount in one location. Lovely to see old people falling asleep in deck chairs on a sunny afternoon while kids are having fun on rides.

As it is one of the oldest theme park, it is worth to visit. For anyone who love taking photos, I recommended to go before evening time. Then u can enjoy both day and night vibe. Not so big one.

It's a fantastic place to visit, especially in the evening when the lights are on. Additionally, it features one of the oldest roller coasters, making it exciting to ride and see how it operated in the past. However, the entrance fee is expensive, even if you only want to explore the garden without going on any rides (though you can buy individual tickets for each attraction).

I brought a sibling here, and they loved it. I enjoyed it myself here as well. It's a very beautiful amusem*nt park and I loved how it was connected to the food hall which has a variety of great food options. The staff were really kind and I believe it's safe to say that this is a must visit for everyone especially families. It's also very nicely located literally being in front of Copenhagen Central Station. I will definitely come back!

Fridays suck as they have concerts and it's going to be packed....aim for a cloudy weekday...some days you will wait ages in lines, we where lucky and had 10 min wait for rides....lots of people come here to see the flowers and lights for which there is no line.Sunny weekends are going to be packed.Danish weather is temperamental, bring plastic ponchos and hope for the best, wind does not get bad here

If you are a tourist and you love history and art, this is the place for you to visit. The fun rides may be a little out of date, but keep in mind they were from 100 years ago. Everything was so beautiful and artistically arranged. There were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops and chocolates. The Garden was not only for the kids but also the adults of all ages. We were glad that we saved the place last during our stay at Copenhagen.

Very nice place. Finely decorated for Halloween. I expect they'll do a great job for Christmas as well. I think this place is a bit overrated, though. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice and there are few fun rides. But I would go here only if I stayed for a few days in Copenhagen. Don't sacrifice other beautiful spots in the city to go here instead. But as a last day thing to do and especially if you're there with friends, it's a fun place where to spend a few hours

Went in November knowing little about the place. Had an incredible time in the massive winter wonderland with shops and stalls ans even fairground rides! Definitely recommend going in winter.Ride pass is around €30 on top of €18 entrance fee but you can enter without a ride pass and pay for rides individually or not at all. Worth the price though

We were there at Christmas with family. It was so beautifully decorated, there were rides for all ages, delicious food. I recommend, for Christmas, to see how many rides planning to go on before buying the unlimited band.

Underwhelming. Paid 160dkk (£18) to enter. The rides were fairly interesting to look at as they’re prettier than what you get at a typical British fairground but didn’t seem particularly thrilling inducing so didn’t give any a go. Would probably be worth it if you have young children who would enjoy the smaller rides however.

Lovely little theme park that's perfect for the kids. There is not much to walk, the rides are designed mostly for kids with only a couple that are on the extreme side and there is plenty of food and drink choices in such a small place. What was also great is that the entrance cost is cheaper if you don't want to go on the rides, making it possible to go in to experience the historic architecture of one of the oldest theme parks in the world. You're also able to come and go from the park on the day you go, just remember to get your hand stamped before leaving.

Had a great day here. Something for everyone and you can spend the whole day and see the gardens and environment change as darkness arrives. Great app that let's you download ride photos for free which is much better than other places who insist in charging extortionate prices. Many places to eat and drink with lots of variety and again no real increase in prices from anywhere else in Copenhagen. Even got to see a concert in the evening on the day we went, great value for money and a definite visit if in Copenhagen.

Amazing. If you’re in Copenhagen you have to go, no question. I have visited both during summer and to see the Christmas markets, both were great with the Christmas lights really taking the cake for me, I felt like I was in a movie. Rides are also great, but just seeing the lights and market stalls are also plenty to do. So many great food options inside for both food and desserts, so definitely come hungry.

Great place to visit with friends, family or your loved ones. Decorated with astonishing lights. You will only fully enjoy them when is dark. I saw fountain show accompanied by classic music. That was fantastic experience.Rides look different from each other, very unique, but I didn't go on them. You have to pay extra to use them.

Tivoli is the oldest amusem*nt park in the centre of Copenhagen. It's busy with lots of places to eat and drink. You don't have to take rides to enjoy the place. When I was there a wedding party was having fun on the rides. It's amazing and the locals are all having fun.

It’s amazing how many attractions can be squeezed into one city block. Great for kids, teens and those still young at heart. Food price and choices range from stalls and food market outlets to the brasserie at the Hotel Nimb.

It's a wonderful, almost magical place. You can feel like you're in a fairy tale there. We visited on December 30th, and despite the large number of people, the vastness of the park made it feel uncrowded. In the evening, it has an even more enchanting charm. It's important to mention that using the Copenhagen Card, you can enter the park twice in one day by obtaining a special stamp. However, for some attractions, tickets are not always available at the machines - you need to purchase a package. For those who prefer not to buy packages, using the app might be somewhat inconvenient. My only suggestion - improve and maintain your app.

Nice and neat park that has many things to do. It's fun for children and older adrenaline enthusiasts. The ride pass is absolutely worth getting if you plan on going for at least 3 or more rides. The park is also very pretty in the evening when they turn on the colourful lights.

A perfect family attraction. Beautiful gardens, lakes and wildlife. We went just for the gardens (didn't go on the rides) and there was plenty to see. Lots of options for food and plenty of toilets. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Absolutely fantastic. I visited in December 2023 with family, including two kids in prams. Spent the whole day there, and you can leave with the kids of you need to and re-enter (make sure you get that days stamp on your hand!)Highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to skip the queues, and if you get the ticket that includes free digital images, download the app and set that up ahead of time! We made that mistake and missed out on images. Don't forget to take your one free go at the wheel - it's the huge one beside Aquila I think!I rode everything I could, and had a great time. My faves are the demon and star flyer I think! I also recommend bringing scarves and gloves if you're riding the taller rides in the winter!!I think it's superb that it's a themes seasonal attraction and I'd love to visit again in spring.

Such an amazing place. We loved it and we had a lot of fun there. The gardens are very well taken care of and the games are suitable for all ages. They present some shows and plays as well. Inside, you will have everything you may need, restaurants, toilets…etc. and of course, they have Lego shop :). It’s a bit expensive, but it’s not for Denmark and for all what they offer. Highly recommended, especially with kids.You can go out and go back again, but you need kind of permission.

Amazing experience for adults and children! Even though many rides are difficult for us who feel dizzy there are plenty other rides to enjoy with your little ones ! Even if you do not rides it is really worth visiting this amazing place which as the sun falls is full of tiny lights making it a magical place! Food and drinks are quite expensive though!

Tivoli Gardens - the first amusem*nt park. Wow... what a fantastic place it is! There are rides, live music, theatre, a variety of food choices, numerous restaurants, a small boat ride, and musical fireworks. It's a must-visit destination.We absolutely loved our time here. It was amazing, and the place is so Instagrammable - every picture turns out beautiful. I am in awe of this place. The highlight for me was the musical fireworks.There is an entry ticket, but it's so worth it. It’s very close to Copenhagen Central Station, just a 5 minute walk.Such a beautifully organized and well-maintained place. It deserves all the stars.

Visited around December time and it was a wonderful wonderland! There were so many stalls of food and gifts inside creating a lovely Christmas atmosphere. We didn’t even go on any rides and still managed to spend 2 hours here just exploring the beautiful grounds! Definitely a highlight of what Copenhagen has to offer.

Tivoli Gardens is a must do day out for families when visiting Copenhagen. The theme park is one of the oldest in the World and is famous for inspiring the original US Disneyland..The gardens are located directly opposite Copenhagen central station and its location and presence in the city is very unique for a capital..Using the Copenhagen Card we were able to gain access to the gardens as part of the cards attractions ticket meaning that the only additional charge was the ride pass, which gives you access to all the rides all day long, for as many times as you wish. Please note, if you only want to go on 1 or 2 rides you can just pay as go but 3+ makes buying a ride pass worth it..My kids loved the rocket and wooden rollercoaster and went on both 4 times each + most of the other rides with only a few exceptions..The gardens are a spectacular attraction in themselves and it was very enjoyable taking in the different settings and venues dotted around the rides..There are plenty of places to eat and drink and all are of a high standard and are reasonably priced. If you wish, you can leave and return to the park so long as you get a stamp. However, tickets and passes are only valid for 1 day..As mentioned at the start of this review Tivoli is a must visit attraction in Copenhagen even if you don't like rides as the site is full of history and character.

Beautiful walk through the gardens, there is a ticket to enter and tickets separately for the rides. Various dining options inside. Shows at the pagoda. A candy maker shop, live view as he hand makes it. There was a light show on the lake and a ship on the other side( didn't see it until after we left the gate). Take time to study the park map they give you upon entering. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wheelchair paths throughout.

Fantastic place! There are plenty of rides and cozy, beautiful parks where you can relax when you need a break from the roller coasters 🎢 It's worth visiting even in rainy weather. The only downside was that the highest carousel wasn't working, and they couldn't explain why 🤷🏼♀️The all-inclusive ticket costs sixty euros per person. Food and drink prices inside are very high and not worth the cost, but you can bring your own food.

Great place. Have fun. Must visit if you are in Copenhagen. Tivoli Gardens is not just an amusem*nt park, but an absolutely great place to have fun and enjoy drinks and food. The rides here are amazing and then you have surprising events all the time. One of the best places to visit in Copenhagen.
