Denmark w/ Kids - Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens (Walt Disney’s Inspiration!), LEGO in Billund, Stroopwafels and an Amsterdam Stopover

Kelsey chats with Michelle (@jetsetwithjohnsons on Instagram), a mom of two from Michigan (9 year old daughter and 7 year old son), about their family of four’s spring trip to Denmark in April/May 2025.

They kick things off with a two day stopover in Amsterdam (stroopwafels!), then head to Billund, Denmark, the home of LEGO, where LEGO House completely blew them away. From there, it’s on to Copenhagen for classic Danish charm and a visit to Tivoli Gardens, the magical amusement park that famously inspired Walt Disney when he created Disneyland. They also take a day trip to Roskilde for the Viking Ship Museum.

For their final four nights, they stayed in a Kindred home exchange in Malmö, Sweden and commuted into Copenhagen each day by train. Michelle also shares why Denmark felt like one of the most family-friendly places they’ve ever visited, especially with the great playgrounds everywhere you turn.
