    Liz and I really had a nice time nursing an expresso and watching beautiful fireworks and dancing laser/water displays in Tivoli.
    We can't think of a better way to celebrate our first night in Denmark.

    Check the Tivoli website for the fireworks display and musical fountain times. It's usually held over the weekends ( Sat, 23:45, Summer Nights )

    Where
    Viften Cafe ( Cake and Coffee )
    Georg ( 150kr Dinner )
    Both cafes are in Tivoli Park.

    Tivoli Gardens is the oldest amusement park, even older then Disneyland in fact this is where Walt Disney got his idea for Disneyland. The park covers 82,712 sqm & has various rides, attractions, drinking holes & restaurants. On the Friday evening when we went there was a live concert starting at 10pm. We visited a bar in the shape of a ship & had to walk the gangplank to get aboard.

    Tivoli has the highest carousel “Himmelskibet” Star flyer, these crazy thrill seekers are propelled through the air 80mtrs high & 70km/h needless to say I felt sick just watching them

    We also saw some dancers on another stage which puts on live events from pantomine to ballet, this is at the main entrance.

    Entrance into the gardens is DKK75 & rides tickets can either be bought separately or a multi ride ticket which is about DKK200+ worthwhile if you plan to be there all day. The ambience is fantastic & its shared by locals & tourists alike - we did not go on any rides but did not begrudge paying the entrance fee

    Tivoli is not that wheelchair friendly as there are several steps & also big crowds.

    Now, ol' HC Andersen must have seen a view like this to write ' The Nightingale' in 2 days! As I was saying, Tivoli, Denmark's oldest theme park is worth more of a visit at night. It is awashed with many beautiful lights in the night and you can catch the fountain-laser display near the Chinese Pagoda or a brilliant fireworks display at 23:45 on Summer Saturday Nights. Click the website for more details.

    One of the most well known attractions in Copenhagen is an amusement park! Tivoli Gardens, now over 160 years old, still continues to delight and entertain the young and old today. A colorful combination of gardens, restaurants, rides, and even a concert venue, Tivoli Gardens should be on everyone's "must see" list. While the park is open during the day time, it seems to be at its most glittering and attractive at night.

    Unlike the Disney parks in the U.S. and elsewhere, admission to Tivoli is a separate charge from the rides themselves. This can be a good feature or bad, depending on how much you wish to do. If you enjoy just strolling about the lantern-lit gardens, seeing the aquarium or going to a restaurant, the standard DKK 75 admission ($12.50 US) although somewhat expensive, might be the ticket for you. However, if you like thrilling rides, expect to pay DKK 15 (in addition to the admission price) for each ticket ("turbillet" - $2.50 US) and rides require 1 to 4 tickets each!! There are about 26 amusements so you can pick & choose. However, the "turpas" or multi-ride ticket (DKK 125) allows you to use the rides as much as you wish. These are sold at all 3 of Tivoli's entrances. Special concerts or other events held inside the park may require special tickets.

    Tivoli accepts most major foreign currencies, but major credit cards are also accepted.

    Tivoli, a century-old amusement park right in the centre of town is open through the summer from April to September from 11am to 11pm.

    with all the attractions of a funpark, that reputedly inspired Walt Disney with his parks, theme and lakeside gardens and pavilions, stage shows, amusement rides, restaurants or stalls providing a wide range of all sorts of things to eat this colourful place with loads of character is bound to keep any age busy for at least a couple of hours or the whole day!

    All sorts of events are held during the summer season such concerts and festivals, daily except Monday pantomimes and fireworks.

    Then theres the special Christmas themed opening from mid November til 30th December with the same hours 11am to 11pm except the first 3 Fridays in December when its open until midnight.

    The most popular park of entertainments Tivoli is stretched on the opposite side of H.C.Andersens Boulevard. Its intricate turrets appreciable from apart, for a long time became one of symbols of the city. The park and a palace are constructed on the sample of the Parisian park in 1840.

    Unfortunately we had not enough time to get acquainted with the park. We hope necessarily to visit there in following visit.

    Vesterbrogade 3. April-September Monday-Thursday 10.00-24.00. Friday-Sunday 10.00-1.00.

    Right in the centre of Copenhagen is the Tivoli amusement park - reputedly having an influence on Walt Disney - which has been running for the past 1oo years or so with fun park amusement rides, food pavilions, stage shows, gardens all with a variety of fun themes to enthuse visitors of all ages.

    It opens for the summer from April to September then reopens mid November til 30 December for its Christmas festivities.

    I had been past it several times with the parks boundaries being major roads around the city centre but not in to it.... so ive returned for a do it before you die winter visit.
    Looking at pictures of Tivoli in summer it certainly looks like theres lot of character provided to keep children and camera wielding adults interested.

    Tivoli Gardens is an experience in itself. This family fun center is loaded with thrill seekers headed for the roller coasters and rides and games as well as those who come to enjoy the garden side of the park.
    Music rules in the park and when I visited there seemed to always be different bands performing on the different stages throughout the park.
    Lots of various restaurants to choose from in Tivoli and fireworks display on Saturday night was awesome!

    by lilbunnygirl
    My husband and I are both big kids at heart, we love amusement parks and rides (and candy floss). Tivoli was a wonderful experience for us!

    We went on opening weekend, and the lines were not bad at all. The new roller coaster The Daemon was the only thing we had to wait more than a few minutes for.

    Ride-wise it wasn't Six Flags or Cedar Point, but it provided us with hours of fun just the same!

    We'd been warned about the high prices of food inside the park, but we splashed out on a lovely dinner at Paafuglen and found it was not much more pricey than a nice dinner outside the gates.

    Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park in Copenhagen. However, it is not an amusement park in the sense of one massive ride after another. The park is very clean and in good taste. Founded in 1843, it carries a great deal of history for the Danes. Tivoli has rides, but it is as much a center of culture, food and gardens as anything else. The combination makes Tivoli something that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Relatively small in size for a theme park, one can easily traverse it in a modest amount of time if you are looking just to get a feel for it. And its central location means that one does not have to go far out of the way to experience it.

    Several months after I had visited Copenhagen, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal highlighting an old wooden hand-operated roller coaster at Tivoli.
