The city park "Fælledparken" is the most visited in the capital and is home to a wide range of events, gatherings, and the iconic Tower playground, which attracts families from near and far.
The playground is composed of five scaled-down versions of some of Copenhagen’s most famous towers: The City Hall Tower, the tower of Our Saviour’s Church, the Round Tower, the cupola of the Marble Church, and the tower of the Stock Exchange. Children are invited on an interactive journey as they explore these historic monuments up close!
The playground won The Danish Design Award and "The Best of the City" award in 2012.
The Copenhagen Stock Exchange "Børsen" is famous for its tower, with its characteristic design of four dragons with their tails entwined.
Kids can cross the rope bridges from The Round Tower to the City Hall Tower. They can also climb the steel skyline to Our Saviour’s Church and play their own composition on the church bells.
PLAY IN THE ICONIC TOWERS OF COPENHAGEN
The Round Tower is from the 17th century and is one of the most famous towers of Copenhagen.
The tower of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange is an icon of the city. Sadly the building was severely damaged by a fire in 2024.
The cupola of the Marble Church is beautiful to play underneath and you can even peek out through the gaps between the wooden boards.
The Round Tower is an astronomical observatory - one of the many architectural projects of Christian IV of Denmark. When exploring the playground version, you can also discover the starry skies above.
