Aarhus · With kids

Streets of relocated buildings staffed in costume, with a 1970s quarter that fascinates adults and a bakery that fascinates everyone. Half a day.

A small amusement park in the woods beside Marselisborg, open across the summer with rides scaled for younger children and an evening light season.

A free enclosed deer park where the herd will take food from a hand. Woodland paths suit pushchairs and the beach is a short walk downhill.

A circular glass walkway on the roof that turns the city every colour in turn. Short, memorable and reliably indoors from about five upwards.

Billund is around ninety minutes west by bus or train, and the park is at its worst in July. A weekday in May or September is a different experience.
