Educational experiences and fun activities for children in North Sealand

Monarchic North Sealand has something for every budding prince and princess. Here the experiences are fun, challenging and educational and the children are actively involved in creating them

Fun and educational experiences for children in North Sealand

At the Danish Museum of Hunting and Foresty in Hørsholm you will have the opportunity to make use of all your senses. For example at the annual workshop days where you can try out hunting and forestry activities galore, savour the taste of game and even see a falcon on the wing.

The Children's Wing of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art  gives children an introduction to the wonderful world of art. Three bright and airy floors have plenty of space for creative work, and there's always someone to help you get started and provide inspiration.

There's invariably something going on for families with children at Esrum Priory and Mill Farm.
Attend the knights’ and princesses’ school at the Summer Medieval Market, take part in terrifying ghost evenings - or how about a turn in the pillory or a ride on the wooden horse in the knights’ castle, Jonsborg? Less boisterous visitors will enjoy Mill Farm’s horses, sheep, chickens and rabbits, and the beautiful surrounding countryside has plenty for the family to explore.

Pad a fish at Hundested Harbour

The big platform by the wharf is equipped with two shallow touch tanks, where the children can learn about the fauna of the sea. The tanks are filled with fresh crabs and fish that are brought in from Isefiord by the fishermen. The destination of a beautiful day in the fresh air.


Fishing or adventure on the Øresund

Take the family on a peaceful boating excursion on the Øresund and set your own pace. 4-person dinghies with and without outboard motors are available for hire at Helsingør Boat Hire

 

Kids and shopping

Kids and shopping are rarely an ideal combination, but in Helsingør, the picture treasure hunt turns a visit into a competition to find buildings in the town with unique characteristics. Pick up a free 'Look up - look down' picture treasure hunt leaflet at the tourist office on Havnepladsen, the Harbour Square, and send the kids off hunting while you go shopping.


Skating rink and Basket court

For the active children, there are a very nice skating rink and basket court in the centre of Hundested. They both are placed in one end of a green area with a little lake. At the area you will also find balance beams and an amphitheatre. The area is public and can be used by anyone.

Tropical Birds
and Zoo

- like being
on safari

The Beach Playground on Hornbæk harbour is like a harbour on dry land, complete with a breakwater, jetties, a lighthouse, slides, swings and much more, all made of quality timber. Activities are organised at the Beach Playground in May, June, July and August.

Eghjorten Woodland Playground is built from natural materials, primarily earth and timber. Here you can balance, crawl, climb and hop; play your way into another world. You can barbecue your own food at the fire ring – remember to bring along your own firewood or charcoal (available at many filling stations).

St. Helene Adventure Playground is for imaginative families. More than a hectare of St. Helene’s fields offer experiences for kids and the young at heart, embracing four fantastic themes dedicated to games, creativity, adventure and activity. You can also participate in a variety of activities organised throughout the summer at Str. Helene’s – you’re welcome even if you don’t live in the area!

The farm Askebakken

has specialized in goats. Spotted goats, white, red and brown goats. All year we have the cutest little kids. We also have cows, pigs and sheep. The farm is mostly open for groups but on special days it is possible to visit the farm.


The farm, Grønnehavegård

has atmosphere and a lot of different animals. For the children, there are horse bag riding on a pony. The farmer takes the tractor in the fields to see the highland cattle. You will find a café where you can buy coffee, the, cake, ice cream and soda, but you can also enjoy your own food by the tables or on the lawn.


Multipark in Helsingør

In 2011 the new Multipark in Helsingør opened – a giant leisure area with skater-rink, roofed playing field, parkour grounds and other facilities for games and action. Here you can easily spend the entire day.

The new and very beautiful playground, which includes swing, slide, balance beams, racks, covered and packed lunches and the Sea-bull you can climb on - if you dare!.

Kids in motion

Children love exercise – and Majestic North Sealand offers them plenty of opportunity to get lots of it. Read more on the Active Holiday in North Sealand page, which also caters for children.

Sandy beaches – natural playgrounds

North Sealand’s sandy beaches are perfect for families who want to bathe and enjoy the sun. Dronningmølle beach is particularly child-friendly because of the shallow water which gets deeper very gradually, the dunes which provide shelter from the wind and the wide, sandy beach that entices you to build the most magnificent sandcastles.


Kronborg for kids

Kronborg Castle 
is also a glorious place for kids. Lots of new activities opened for children and their adult companions in 2010: an interactive exhibition with touch screens, a dolls-house-sized model of the castle in cross-section, and playground for toddlers on the Queen’s Bastion with boxes full of gear for playing soldiers, etc.


Indoor skating rink – Olliestedet in Ølsted

Here you find the coolest skating court for children. 720m2 indoor facility. Remember to bring a warm sweater because the court is not heated.
