Teen and Pre-Teen Trip to Denmark

Posted by amystephens617 on 09/14/25 10:04 PM

Hello,

My wife and I are planning a trip to Denmark next summer. On the trip will be me, a seasoned traveler, my wife, a novice traveler, my 17-year-old kid, and my wife's 11-year-old daughter. My step-daughter has Legoland on her must-see list. However, beyond that, what could we look into to ensure the entire family has a nice trip? We were thinking of a few days in Copenhagen and then looking for a beach to relax on for a few days.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,
Amy in Cleveland, Ohio

How long do you have? Will you rent a car? What is on the 17-year-old's wish list?
There are lots of things to see and do in Denmark for people of all ages. The only beach I can recommend is Grenen up near Skagen, where two seas meet. I haven't been yet, but it's on my bucket list.

Hi,

Here are a few random suggestion to look int:

Tivoli of course, but also check out Bakken (Worlds oldest amusement park. From 1583) - go by S train

Beach: Femøren - translates to The Nickel :-) But also check out The Harbour Bath - Go by Metro.

Giants and Trolls: (https://www.thomasdambo.com/ and https://trollmap.com/) - A car would help.

Worlds Largest Labyrinth (at least it was two years ago) in Gilleleje - You will need car

Thank you both for the suggestions. We are thinking of a 7 -10 day trip.
