Amusement parks fascinate the young and old alike – and have for many generations! Nowhere is that tradition more evident than in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. While many may associate the city with Hans Christian Anderson’s little mermaid (who sits on a rock in the bay), for those who are young at heart, it is also known for Tivoli gardens. The gardens opened on August 15, 1843 on the outskirts of town. By the 1850s, they had relocated to the heart of the city, and have remained in continuous operation ever since – which makes it the second oldest in the world, and one of the most visited. In fact, the gardens are so famous, that in many Scandinavian languages, the word Tivoli is synonymous with an amusement park. It has always been filled with attractions, which have changed over time, including pantomimes, orchestras, and roller coasters. The fun takes place in a beautiful setting, complete with fairy tale buildings, trees and flowers. However, Tivoli truly becomes magical at night, when the paths are illuminated with thousands of lights. Whatever season, or time of day, it is worth taking some time for a walk through these memorable gardens!
