About
Tivoli pleasure gardens
Unlike most amusement parks, there is far more to Tivoli than the optional rides alone. The park is filled with different types of gardens to engage all your senses. You can enjoy some peace and quiet in the Hanging Gardens with its big trees and a large grassy area to relax on.
The Orangery is reminiscent of classic, easy, exotic and nostalgic botanical gardens. While the bubbles of the Nimb Water Fountains pull you in to enjoy beautiful flowers and scenery in the company of the occasional peacock. And over at the Pergola Gardens you can explore the world of edible plants by taking in both their fragrance and their flavours.
On the southern tip of the lake you can visit three Asian-inspired gardens. The Bamboo forest has lots of bamboo and rhododendron; the Orient brings you palms, desert-oasis and exotic plants; and the Vintage Cars garden shows you flowerbeds inspired by a Chinese mountain landscape.
Finally, there are the traditionally Danish parts of the park. The Parterre Gardens have long held a position of great importance in Danish garden culture with its 22 beds and 32 water basins. And to visit a fantasy based Danish market town, the Alley is the place to go.
Optional treats and rides
Throughout the green gardens of Tivoli, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to slacken your thirst or taste delicious food. You’ll find all sorts of international cuisines here, from English fish and chips to Italian pizza, and from traditional Danish smorgasbords to Japanese sushi. There is something to eat for everyone at Tivoli.
And then of course there are around 30 rides to enjoy as well. There are rides for all ages, such as the Classic Carousel and Ferris Wheel for the youngest visitors, and the Demon roller coaster and Golden Tower for thrill seekers. All in all a visit to Tivoli Gardens is an experience you don’t want to miss when visiting Copenhagen.

Great visit!
We visited Tivoli on a cold raw and rainy weekend but that weather did not break our spirit. It was a national holiday weekend and we prepared for the worst for lots of people and lines, but the park was probably around 50% full with almost all Danish locals and families. This led to absolutely no lines for the rides. Try that at Six Flags! We ate at an Italian restaurant, and like all of Denmark the prices are high especially with the currency exchange. One med/large pizza and three canned drinks was about $50 US dollars. A couple things for the American readers, bathrooms are actually no charge, which is refreshing considering all of Europe charges for this. Second and a very minor thing, vanilla soft Serve ice cream is completely different in Scandinavia. It does not resemble soft serve in the USA with just a fraction of sugar and much more creamy. It’s not bad at all, just different, but not my thing. The rides are great and our teen enjoyed them all. Me, on the other hand quit the rides after a ride called Tic-Tac (spinning in a circle and upside down) did not at all agree with my stomach and equilibrium! Lol We thought the value overall was good for what we received. And as a bonus we had some terrific conversations with some Danish and Norwegian families!
Met all expectations and beyond
Went there with my 10 year old daughter and we had a blast. Great rides, open space areas when you need a break from all the entertainment and many, many places to eat and drink. Definitely a great day at Tivoli!
What a way to begin Copenhagen Journey
What a delight. Gorgeous gardens, terrific rides and booths for games, great assortment of restaurants. What a way to enjoy Copenhagen. And sooooo affordable.
Worth a visit
This theme park cum restaurant hub is centrally located in Copenhagen and teeming with life. We visited one evening - it stays open until 10pm - and there was lots going on including a live ballet performance on one of the stages within the grounds. The admission was around 170 Daniel Kronor per adult and there are rides, arcade games and carnival games all available for extra fees. There are also gift shops and food and drink kiosks throughout the park. It is well kept and clean.
Nice surprise!
I was a bit skeptical to visit an amusement park, but this surprised me. It is more than just rides- the gardens and art displays were so nicely done. We only had a short amount of time, but I would definitely pay to visit again when we have more time!
Lovely Historic Amusement Park
We were on a shore excursion to Copenhagen that included Tivoli Gardens. My husband so wanted to ride the wooden roller coaster and it took us a while to figure out how to pay for a single ride. It turns out you just have to hand your credit card to the ticket taker near the start of the ride. I enjoyed the lovely carousel. We didn't have much time at the park but we did enjoy walking around and finally sampling a Danish open-faced sandwich in the food court.
Worth a visit even if it is just to look around
We visited the park just for an afternoon. We bought a ticket just to visit, not to do rides as it was quite pricey and I would not do any rides. The park itself is definitely worth a visit however it could definitely be cheaper considering you have to pay for everything else too. That being said we thoroughly enjoyed it. We probably would not go back again. But you can’t go to CPH without visiting Tivoli!
Nostalgia and magic
Stunning funfair, felt comforting and nostalgic. Some wonderful places to eat. Ticket prices were reasonable. Beautiful day out
Great Entertainment
Tivoli’s diverse attractions catered beautifully to visitors of all ages. It is said to be the oldest adventure park. Thrill-seekers found excitement on the rides, while those craving culture were drawn to the graceful performances at the Theatre. One standout moment was watching the Tivoli Youth Guard Parade, which brought a charming sense of tradition and pageantry to the day. Exploring Tivoli Gardens in May proved to be a truly enchanting experience. The park was bursting with color—lush greenery and blooming flowers set the scene for a picture-perfect day. With a cheerful yet relaxed atmosphere, it was easy to wander and take in the sights without feeling overwhelmed by crowds. The park offered a wide range of options, with various cuisines available to suit different preferences. That said, some restaurants experienced long queues during peak times, which slightly detracted from an otherwise smooth visit. As night fell, Tivoli transformed into a glowing wonderland. Thousands of twinkling lights brought the gardens to life, casting a magical glow over the entire park. Thanks to extended weekend hours, we were able to linger and enjoy the evening ambiance at our own pace. Tivoli Gardens is a captivating destination that blends natural beauty, entertainment, and cultural charm. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the experience leaves a lasting impression and is undoubtedly one of Copenhagen’s must-see attractions.
A stunning enchanting place
What an amazing place this is. we wanted to visit as its a must see on the sightseeing list for Copenhagen. What we didn't expect was to enjoy it as much as we did. The Tivoli is a stunning place with delights around every corner. There are some incredible looking biuldings and old style rides all around the park. The centre has a large pond with waterfowl and koi. There are all sorts of shops and eateries. there are also a whole number of stranger things like a monument to Tycho Brahe. Strange but entriely enchanting.
Nice evening
Gorgeous evening spent in the gardens on my last night in Copenhagen. Definitely worth the trip in to have a wander about and stay until it gets dark for my gorgeous photos. I’m not much into rides but if you are it would be a lot of fun :)
Day in Tivoli Gardens
Good day out, smaller park than expected. Very traditional and quaint to visit, just about took a few hours but not really a full day for the entry price. A few rides and gardens to walk around, would be best at night
Worth a Visit Even to Just Walk Around
We stayed at Villa Copenhagen hotel which is right across the street from Tivoli, in fact we could see a ride from our room. Founded in 1843, the park and amusement park is the 2nd oldest amusement park in the world. My husband wanted to see it. We bought the pass that gave us the ability to walk around and see the shows, but not ride the rides. You can get an unlimited pass for rides as well. For kids, the rides are great plus for thrill rides, one roller coaster with a small loop, some that dropped you straight down and spun you around. We went in the evening before the sunset, so we could see everything in the light and then when the lights would come on. The pond, gardens and flowers especially the purple hyacinth (never realized how amazing and sweet they smell) were really lovely to walk around on the flat and meandering paths. We had a good time watching others scream on the rides and watched a show. It was a pretty, well maintained, and safe feeling park. What stood out to me was the number of restaurants inside, some quite expensive. This is definitely a place to come and eat. For the Tivoli Food Hall, make sure you get your hand stamped before you exit the park if you want to get back in. Also, you can enter the Food Hall from the street without paying park admission. They had has about 16 places to buy food, and more were reasonably priced than the restaurants inside - more of fast food with limited seating. We got the pasta which was good.
Amazing
Absolutely love this place, would highly recommend it. So beautiful and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We took our 2 year old and we all loved it.
Look for concert nights or events
We stayed across the road from Tivoli and could hear music so googled to find Saint Clara was playing. Absolutely lucky we checked it out as ended up seeing the concert and had time to wander around the park. Park was a small theme park with so many restaurants albeit not sure if you'd have to pay entrance to try the restaurants still?
You have to visit
A must visit in Copenhagen. We didn't go on any of the rides but enjoyed walking around the gardens and having the very best hot chocolate.
So Charming!
Such a charming and delightful amusement park in the heart of Copenhagen! Kids had a blast on the rides (some are more intense than they appear), gardens are beautiful and lots of fun food and shopping options. Highly recommend!
Charming theme park with good rides and stunning gardens.
We had a super day at Tivoli today. We weren’t sure what to expect with the mixed reviews but we loved it. It has a lovely charm about it . Beautiful displays of flowers in relax gardens mixed in a good selection of rides. There are lots of places to eat. We had lunch at Wagamamas a few extra dishes to the UK menu but same good quality. Also a tasty pizza at La Vecchia Italia. The park and facilities are all kept very clean . There are many friendly park wardens walking around who are happy to help. We watched the Ballet Pantomime at the peacock theatre. Very high quality . It’s a very different theme park to Disneyland or Legoland . We found it much much relaxing but still very engaging. As it gets darker the park lights up wonderfully. If you stay for the light show the bridge looking towards Hans Christian Andersen Boulveard has the best view. It’s was on for ten minutes. The location is brilliant it’s right in the centre of Copenhagen next to the main square. Would recommended for all ages.
Lots to Do
There is a lot to see and do here. The landscaping is lovely. Amusements for families. Fountains and sculpture. All we did was enjoy some coffee and cake and stroll around, but that was enough for us.
A Beautiful Place to Visit
We went to Tivoli Gardens while staying in Copenhagen, it was lovely to walk around the gardens, a very pretty place especially at night when it was all lit up. Lots of restaurants cafes etc to choose from. If you pay for a day ticket you can get it stamped when you leave so you can go back at night to see the lights, (has to be the same day) it is also an amusement park with lots of rides for all ages. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Copenhagen
Christmas Market 2024
We came here in between Christmas and New Year 2024 and wanted to experience the Christmas markets. Tivoli Gardens is very big and was presented well, with Christmas decorations and lights. The gardens were well maintained and plenty of stores, games and eateries. We purchased our tickets online beforehand and paid around £20 per person. We went during the day and felt there wasn’t enough to do there to warrant staying all day so we left, at the entrance/exit there is someone with a stamp so you can return again same day. We returned later in the evening with the lights all lit up and it was beautiful. I would recommend coming here.
Best family day out!
We had a fantastic family day out at Tivoli Gardens. Our 6 year old daughter is a speed demon on roller coasters and rides, and we were there from opening at 11am until 9pm - so we definitely got our moneys worth. The park is immaculate and beautifully decorated/landscaped for Easter. Every staff member we interacted with was lovely, and the queues were short despite it being fa Friday in the Easter holidays. The beauty of Tiovoli is how many rides are packed into a relatively small space, so you can hop from one to another really quickly. We ate lunch in the food hall (excellent!) and dinner at the the Italian restaurant, which has awful reviews on here but which we found to be brilliant. All in all, the best day of our trip and a core family memory for sure. Our 6 year old said it was better than Disneyland Paris 😂. Top tip - the gourmet cotton candy popcorn is divine Special shout out to the guys riding the wooden rollercoaster - you are rock stars!
So much fun!
So much fun! Tivoli gardens is a sight to behold! The rides are wonderfully distinctive from any modern theme park, timeless and yet still thrilling and scary enough for our 11 year old daughter. We loved it and could have spent two days there. The ancient wooden rollercoaster was a highlight and it was also lovely to be able to take a boat out on the lake. We cannot recommend it enough!
A beautiful evening of fireworks
Tivoli’s summer opening was the perfect date night. From the moment we walked through the gates, everything felt magical—the lights, the music, the smell of popcorn and blooming flowers. We held hands on the rides, shared candyfloss, and watched the fireworks wrapped in each other’s arms. A night we’ll never forget.
GO TO TIVOLI!!!
It was the best! The rides are great and it's very pretty! It was one of my favorite parts of Copenhagen and I would like to go many more times!
Magical Escape at Tivoli Gardens
Visiting Tivoli Gardens was one of my most memorable experiences in Denmark. I felt like I stepped into a fairy tale when I entered the park. I loved the blend of classic charm and modern excitement throughout the grounds. The rides were fun, and the atmosphere was both lively and welcoming. I enjoyed quiet moments by the lake and heart-pounding thrills on the roller coaster. I think the park has something special for every kind of traveler, whether you are with family, friends, or on your own. I spent hours wandering the beautifully decorated paths, enjoying festive music and enchanting lights. It truly felt like a magical escape from everyday life. I left Tivoli Gardens feeling inspired and completely joyful.
Fun like Heaven
It’s really fun in Tivoli, there’s lots of food, rides and such. You should really try it! Everyone is so nice and friendly, the food is great, the rides are greater, the history behind them are also good. Here are some recommendations, The Roller Coaster, The Flying Trampolines, The Demon, The Ferris Wheel (Vertigo), The Dragon Boat, The Golden Tower and The Tea Cups. I hope you enjoy it!! (Don’t eat food before going on a ride)
What a fun place to be!
I went to Tivoli during the Halloween week and it was such a fun place to be! There were a lot of Halloween decorations and the lights make the place just seem so magical. My friends and I enjoyed the park very much.
Enchanting evening
The twinkling lights, charming rides, and lush gardens felt like stepping into a storybook. The atmosphere was magical, and the live music added to the romance. It’s the perfect spot for a date night in Copenhagen. We left with smiles and unforgettable memories!
Felt We Got Ripped Off
After dragging our kids through a long day of sightseeing, we wanted to reward them with an evening at Tivoli. They were very excited to take on all of the rides and we planned to try them all. Unfortunately, the park shut down all of their rides an hour before closing because they were putting on some sort of show. We had no idea, nor had we been informed by staff. Luckily the kids got to do most of the rides, but for the price you pay, we felt like we got ripped off. I contacted Tivoli customer service and they told me that because the kids had gone on a certain number of rides, they were not willing to offer any compensation. How the number of rides the kids went on factors into whether they believe you're owed compensation left me bewildered. We thought we were paying to be able to go on rides for a certain amount of time and they cut that short. It was a lot of fun. Just make sure you're aware of the hours before you go.
Fun
We spent a fun few hours here - the gardens are beautiful and the rides are great! Not too pricey although food and drinks are on the expensive side.
A must see
The thrilling rides got our hearts racing, while the romantic gardens offered perfect spots for quiet moments. We indulged in delicious treats from charming cafés, savoring every bite. Tivoli is a delightful blend of excitement and romance—a must for anyone exploring Copenhagen!
Worth visiting with children
A really good place to visit. However it really is for young people as it basically is fun fair. The gardens are beautiful and there are some great restaurants. The food hall is a great experience for choice of food.
Fabulous day in Tivoli Garden
Amazing trip with my grandkids. many exciting Christmas decorations and a lot of fun for the kids. Unfortunately no real snow. however it was not Tivoli's fault but the weather
A must visit in Copenhagen
Tivoli Gardens was fabulous. Staff were all very helpful and welcoming, the rides were varied and the choice of restaurants and drinks venues were dotted all over. The aquarium was a great benefit as the free pass ride allowed. Would thoroughly recommend this place!
Beautiful grounds and fun for all ages.
Tivoli Gardens is truly a 5* attraction in the centre of Copenhagen because of its amazing staff, beautiful grounds and the fact that it has something for all ages. We visited on a cold, dry day in January and appreciated the fact that there were opportunities to stop and have something to eat, have a break from the cold, and recharge to enjoy all it has to offer. We visited with a 3 year old and there were about 15 rides that she was able to go on. Many rides are listed with a solo rider in mind so worth checking the height requirements when accompanied by an adult as this opens up many more thrill rides. Our daughter’s favourites were The Galley Ships and The Roller Coaster, both had minimal queues and lasted for a good amount of time. Tip: Tivoli app allows you to scan your ride photo (via QR) to get a free download. Excellent feature.
Tivoli
Visited tivoli gardens the day before the park closes until the summer, the park is beautiful a The lights are so pretty and we loved the firefly garden, with teen boys who were looking forward to the rides, we were disappointed that two of the rollercoasters were closed and a couple of other rides, maybe they are winding down to closing but still paid the full amount x
Superb!
Well worth a visit, we went during the day on New Year’s Eve but it wasn’t too busy, the rides looked fabulous although we didn’t go on any. Lots of cabins for gifts & places to eat. Great atmosphere & we were able to return in the evening.
Amazing experience but very overcrowded place
Tivoli Gardens in Winter are beautifully decorated and illuminated at night, their Christmas Market is very rich, colourful and meets many tastes, experience is perfect. On the other hand, problems for visitors are: high entrance price without rides (200 DKK or 26 €), high prices in Christmas markets stands and restaurants (150% of regular prices in the city) and the place can be very overcrowded at night, with not much place even to walk, also with long waiting lines for the rides. Surely very worth to visit but maybe better not in some peak days with the most visitors.
Magical Land
Biggest park with more than 1000 trees decorated for Christmas. Must go and very enjoyable. Get carried away magically
Great amusement park with a really Christmas feel.
Tivoli felt magical over the Xmas period. The lights and atmosphere at night were great and we really enjoyed our time here. A good mix of modern and old fashioned rides alike.
Fabulous Christmas
We visited the park on Christmas Day and again on 27th Dec. We loved it! It was a perfect way to spend Christmas. The park was beautifully decorated. The rides were great. We had a fabulous time and would absolutely recommend.
It's nice, but expensive
We came to see the christmas market. We were not disappointed. Tivoli is a lovely space in the city centre. Lots of fun rides and games, many restaurants and bars plus good shops. The market was spectacular. It's just a shame about the high entry price.
Christmas wonderland
Visited with my elderly mother and my husband for the Christmas offering. We arrived around midday, took mum home about 6, then returned for the evening. We only bought entry tickets as not really in to the rides but I heard if you want to go on more than 4 rides the pass is more economical than paying individual rides. The Christmas market in the gardens is great, not cheap but acceptable prices for souvenirs. We bought beautiful decorations we have never found elsewhere so very happy. Obviously in December the gardens aren't at their best, but hyacinths were flowering and the use of evergreen cuttings to mulch borders looked great. The evening was brilliant, a 10+ minutes water, laser and light show to the Nutcracker was amazing and the lights basically felt like we had entered Christmas wonderland. I highly recommend for families and adults alike.
Garden and amusement park
Tivoli Gardens is a legendary amusement park for a reason. They know how to make the park magical in all seasons. For younger visitors, check out Veteran bilerne, HC Andersen’s Flyvende Kuffert, the boats, and the Rasmus Klump play area. Under the roller coaster mountain is an indoor parkour style play area. There are a variety of rides for all ages, but our favorites are the pirate ships and the roller coaster.
Magical
It doesn’t get much more Christmas-y than this place! A fantastic mix of stalls, shops, food, rides and games. All in a beautifully setting that looks great during the day, and absolutely amazing at night. The perfect place for getting into the Christmas spirit! A must do.
Absolutely fabulous at Christmas time
We loved our 3 day trip to Copenhagen to visit Tivoli Gardens in particular We were there from midday to 5pm and it was so nice to experience the park in the daylight when it was quieter so we could visit the little cabin shops etc and also see the beautiful lights everywhere once it had gone dark We ate in the Tivoli Foodhall in Zocalo and it was so nice The flowers everywhere were pretty and the gardens well kept also No litter !!! Highly recommend a trip here. Very expensive to eat and drink and also the shops here. Pre purchase your tickets so you don’t have to queue up to get in !
Christmassy vibes were strong!
Great time, very, very popular at Christmas time, so quite crowded. Beautiful lights! Would be a great tradition for those who live nearby-
Christmas wonderland
Beautiful spot. Went on Christmas Day amd we had an amazing time. It's a long day and we waited longer to see the illusion light show. Best part was lots of the stalls had 50% off Xmas decorations! Whole family had fun. We booked tickets ahead.
Christmas in the Danish capital
Good pricing and available to purchase tickets with the app. This feature allows for faster entry into the venue. Inside is packed with rides, shops, restaurants, and the ice rink. The ships sold great, hand crafted Danish ornaments, clothes, and decorations for Christmas. The food stalls were also serving up delicious treats Danish and foreign. The only downside was the ice rink! It was plastic, which they did warn us about, but we tried it anyway. It wasn't as fun or as real as ice, and I hope Tivoli would get actual ice in coming years, as this was the only negative of the experience.
