About
Guinness World Record Holders
As Europe’s only Guinness World Records Museum, a visit to this museum is a must when it comes to things to do in Copenhagen. Here you can meet the man who ate a plane and many other unusual delicacies, including 18 bicycles, 15 shopping carts and seven TV sets. Other extraordinary people you can meet here are the model with the longest legs in the world, as well as the world’s tallest man.
Robert Wadlow was already 1 meter tall at 11 months old, when he died of an infection at age 22, he was 2.71 meters (or 8 ft 11 in) tall. How tall are you compared to Robert? And how does your weight compare to that of the world’s heaviest man?
Play games to set your own record
In the Interactive Game Zone, you can challenge your friends and family to a round on the largest game of Pac-Man, or check your reflexes on the interactive Batak machine and test your memory.
Or try to break a record to get your own name into the history books. Can you set the best time for solving a Rubik’s Cube, how good are you at stacking cups, and can you set the high score on 3D Atari Pong?

Fun for All Ages – A Quirky Stop in the Heart of Copenhagen!
If you’re exploring Strøget and looking for something lighthearted and entertaining, the Guinness World Records Museum is a fun detour—especially if you’re with kids, friends, or just young at heart. The museum is packed with fascinating facts, life-size figures, and interactive displays that showcase the extremes of human achievement—tallest man, longest nails, fastest sprinter, largest pizza—you name it, it’s probably here. Some areas feel a bit retro, but that adds to its quirky charm. The interactive zones (like trying to break a record yourself) are a highlight, and there’s a section dedicated to gaming records and pop culture, which was surprisingly nostalgic. It’s not the most high-tech museum in town, but it’s cheerful, easy to walk through in about 45–60 minutes, and conveniently located near other attractions. Tip: Book your ticket online to skip the line and maybe pair it with Ripley’s next door for a fun combo day.
Fun wee visit
Would we have gone had we not purchased the Copenhagen Card? Probably not. Would we have paid to go without the card? No. However, we really did enjoy our visit using the Copenhagen Card to get in. The interactive elements were really fun especially the giant Pacman! If you get the card (which you definitely should do) then do add this on as a wee visit if you are looking to kill some time between historical sites.
Better Than I Thought
We only stopped here for the kids and because it was part of the Copenhagen Card. It's a kitschy little museum with a some neat little records. I actually found it more enjoyable than I thought I would, but I don't think I would've paid out of pocket to visit. If you have the card and kids, it's a good way to waste an hour or two. Especially when everything else is closed or there's poor weather.
Good
Planed a visit here on a wet day , used an online code to get a discount , was different , lots read and hands on things to do , would recommend a visot
A pleasant surprise
Slightly apprehensive after visiting a similar sort of attraction the day before, this was pleasantly surprising and a bit fun for an hour near the end of a day (it closed at 6pm). There is lots to do and have a go at and we got slightly too enthused over the giant game of pac man and a table top game of pong! We got in as part of the Copenhagen Card and so wasn’t fussed about the price. Youngsters would love it too.
Don't miss it
One of the best museums in the world! Lots of things you can do inside and lots of pretend exhibits too! Stairs everywhere and 2 entrances & exits.
Divertente
Museo molto divertente, una bella esperienza da fare in famiglia! Personale fantastico, siamo stati fortunati a trovare Mattia Murru, professionale, gentile e simpaticissimo!
Kul men kort!
Det var kul och interaktivt. Det fanns mycket olika saker att prova och göra. Personalen var trevlig. Den var ganska kort men om man gjorde alla saker så kunde man vara där ett tag! Rekommenderar för 9-13 åringar!
En rigtig god oplevelse
Vi besøgte Guiness World Records Museum en mandag formiddag i januar. Vi var egentligt skeptiske pga. anmeldelserne herinde, men det blev gjort til skamme. Vi brugte 3½ time i museet, og havde en rigtig god oplevelse. Det var meget interaktivt, og gav mulighed for at teste vores evner af mod guiness-rekorderne. Der er lidt meget tekst, nogle steder udelukkende på engelsk, hvilket gjorde det vanskeligt for børnen at holde koncentrationen. Men alt i alt en rigtig fin oplevelse. Det hjalp uden tvivl at vi besøgte udenfor høj-sæson :)
Divertentissimo
Grazie alla copenaghen CARD, nel nostro viaggio a copenaghen, ci siamo ritrovati a fare molte attività che probabilmente non avremo fatto tra cui questa visita. Museo originalissimo e divertentissimo dove puoi sfidare in maniera interattiva i tuoi parenti o amici per superare i record più bizzarri del mondo.
Vale la pena per trascorrere un po' di tempo scoprendo record inaspettati
Ci siamo divertiti anche se quando siamo entrati non sapevamo esattamente cosa aspettarci. Simpatico da vedere per conoscere un po' di più il modo dei Guinnes dei primati.
Kul upplevelse för stora och små!
Läste tidigare recensioner och var skeptisk men jag tror att museet är renoverat. I början var det endast skyltar med rekord men sedan kom det mer interaktiva delar med olika spel som gick hem hos både små och stora!
Een aanrader
Kopenhagen een mooi stad met prachtige gebouwen en parken. Metro perfect. Vriendelijke relaxte mensen en lekker eten. Kanaaltocht is ook een aanrader. Let wel op er zijn ook boten in Nyhavn waar je de helft betaald voor dezelfde tocht. Helaas wel duurder dan Nederland.
Sympa!
Petite activité sympa et amusante, (avant tout je vous conseille de prendre la Copenhaguen Card si vous êtes plusieurs jours à Copenhague car ça peut être plus rentable). Cette activité est d’une durée moyenne et fait passer un bon moment toutefois je dois avouer que ce n’est pas un incontournable de la capitale danoise cependant si vous avez un peu de temps cela peut être une bonne idée d’y faire un tour!
Interessant
Ich fand das Museum recht interessant. Man kann interaktiv mitmachen. Die Texte sind auf Englisch und Dänisch geschrieben und teils sogar auf Deutsch, was für mich absolut nicht selbstverständlich ist. Ich fand sogar den Mystery Teil sehr unterhaltsam und gut gemacht.
Informatief en doe museum.
Wij zijn hier naar toe gegaan naar aanleiding van de goede recensies. Als je in een groep jongeren komt of met een gezin met jonge kids, dan is het zeker leuk. Als je een gezin hebt met oudere kinderen, vind het niet een aanrader. Je kan er van alles lezen en dingen doen. Dus je vermaakt je zeker. Is dit een aanrader, ja!
Mystery - Teil lohnt überhaupt sich nicht, ansonsten schön!
Es war ein schöner Besuch, man konnte vieles selbst ausprobieren und es hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht. Zu dem Standard Besuch haben wir den Aufpreis für den „Mystery“ Teil dazu gebucht. Dies war wirklich unnötig und das Geld hätten wir wirklich sparen können, denn es war wirklich kurz und wenig zu sehen / zu erleben in diesem Abteil. Innerhalb von 5 min waren wir trotz ausprobieren fertig und hatten dort alles gesehen, schade. Der Rest ist jedoch zu empfehlen!
Musée interactif
Musée pour petit et grand car interactif. Le mieux et de prendre l'offre comprenant les 4 musées ça vaut vraiment le coût! Rigolade assuré
Interactief museum
Wij hebben heel veel lol gehad in dit museum. Een aantal records kon je zelf uitproberen, af en toe hoorde je (bijpassende) geluiden door sensoren. Bijvoorbeeld een koe die ging loeien. Verder zagen de ruimtes er ook erg leuk uit, en was er genoeg te lezen over de (meest gekke en leuke) records.
