I Took My Family to Copenhagen, and It Was Our Best Vacation Yet
"Housed in a striking stacked-glass building by Rem Koolhaas’s firm, this museum showcases Danish innovations in architecture and urban development while making the subject fun for kids: there are large bins of LEGOs, an outdoor play area with trampolines and a climbing tunnel, a giant aerial map of the city, and a twisting four-story slide designed by Carsten Höller that elicits screams of delight." - Sunshine Flint
Really fascinating exhibits here. There’s a really great exhibit on danish, design and architecture (permanent) and a very thought-provoking one on building materials for the 21st-century, that are more biologically inclusive to all creatures. Plus a fun slide, and a rooftop café with great views!

Just go to the cafe at the top.
The cakes were on a different level to everything available in Copenhagen (a big surprise) from the exquisite to the devine. A perfect match for our palate, long flavoursome and fruity.
Splash the cash here and you will not be diasppointed.
Under 18s go in free.
One of only a few public spaces with good washroom facilities for the not so able, and they were immaculate, well done.

It is a nice place if you really enjoy the historic origin of products and design and the designer themselves. They have lots of information on the design and the product displayed.
Was hoping to get the audio version so we don’t have to spend a lot of time reading, however, the audio set were all out…
Love the slide at the end and some interactive spots for pictures

Such a cool place to visit if you’re into design and architecture. Sadly the second floor was closed during my visit. It’s still fun to be here even if you don’t know much about design because at least you can take a slider down from the third floor to the ground floor!

The building is beautiful. The items of the museum are ok. There are instructive videos there and a long slide. Restaurant/cafe has grand view

Beautiful and modern museum, with an outstanding staff, and a gorgeously curated collection of art, architecture and design. Also, do not miss the chance to slide down the slide at the end of your visit! Childhood memories instantly unlocked <3

Intriguing and interesting pomo building housing a fascinating exhibition on Danish architectural history and displays on renovation and conservation on the upper floors. Good views of the city. Only one criticism the captions and written descriptions on the historical displays could have been in bigger type tomakr them easier to read.
