Tivoli Amusement Park - Summer Fun in Copenhagen, Denmark

I had not planned to go to Tivoli this week. I had planned to go shopping in Copenhagen, Denmark has the absolute best shopping in Scandinavia, you know. You didn't know that? Well you do now. But, as I wandered away from the train station headed to the Amager shopping area, there stood this way-too inviting amusement park right there is the middle of everything. I couldn't believe it. You see, I am an Amusement Park junkie from waaaay back. I have hit pretty much every major Theme Park in the US... and then some. I used to plan entire vacations around what Roller Coaster I wanted to ride next. You name me an Amusement Park, and I can tell you their best rides off the top of my head. I had heard of Denmark's Tivoli, but had no clue where it was. I grabbed my husband's arm and in we went.

Tivoli is, like I said, in the middle of all the main Copenhagen action right there next to the Central Station, where all the trains come to. That makes it very easy to get to without having to worry about parking. Entrance is 79 DKK for adults, and 40DKK for children 3-11. Under 3 years is free. That translates to a mere 14 bucks for adults. Niiiice. Now, that is just for admission, mind you. Ride tickets are separate and run 10DKK per ticket, with rides requiring multiple tickets. You can buy an all day unlimited ride pass for 200DKK.

I want to make clear right off the bat that Scandinavians are not big roller coaster freaks like I am, and others are in the United States. We do not have X or Superman over here. Think more along the lines of a really nice State Fair when you think of Amusement Parks over here. Having said that, Tivoli was much better than I had thought it was going to be.
