I Took My Family to Copenhagen, and It Was Our Best Vacation Yet

"Built in 1642 as an observatory by King Christian IV, this historic tower features a spiraling ramp leading to a planetarium with exhibits on ancient and modern astronomy; in summer families can take part in scavenger hunts, and the top provides panoramic views including the long, curving Øresund Bridge to Sweden." - Sunshine Flint
