Tivoli Friheden, Aarhus

The park isn't too big, and the rides cost tickets per ride, but you can buy a wristband that allows infinite trips on rides for a reasonable price. The park itself is well-decked with flowers, sculptures, and sits nicely in the forest of Marselisborg just on the southern end of the city outskirts. The park has rides for all ages, but sadly doesn't have any long or tall coasters due to the location's relatively small size.

I went in December when the park was filled to the brim with Christmas lights, decorations and snow. Every nook of it was a beautiful sight, especially all the tiny shacks selling all sorts of homemade sweets and snacks. On the negative though, everywhere we went, we saw closed joy rides and attractions, and you pay extra for access to them on top of the entry ticket. The few open ones, like the two 3d cinemas, are simply not keeping up with todays standards and technology.

Tivoli Friheden is a great place. It is a amusement park with lots of fun activites. During December there is a Christmas theme through the whole park and it is really beautiful. Unfortunately some of the activites are not available in the winter, but there it always something fun to do.

We had a really great time! It's a very "hyggeligt" park, and the size is perfect for small children. Short waiting times for rides, and plenty of tasty snacks make for a lovely day and lots fun.

This is a very cosy fairground, with a long history and old traditions. It's a nice mix of down to earth playground for both young kids and older kids-by-heart. Almost everything costs money, so I highly recommend to buy a tour-band (Currently it costs less than five times the cheapest ride.) even if you are just there with the kids - this month they even allow you to use it on two separate days for the same price. The restaurant we tried offered an eat what you can buffet, featuring a high number of delicious roasts and other meats, combined with a selection of potatoes and a great salad bar to choose from. Our kids loved it! I'll be back again this month for sure!
