Really enjoyed the Castle grounds and attractions. Hubby liked the car and motorbike museum (it's a collection of privately owned vehicles). Kids liked the tree-top walk and mazes, and we all enjoyed the castle itself and the lovely grounds. A great destination for a daytrip.

Egeskov's history dates to the 14th century and the castle was built in 1554. Beautiful gardens surround the building. Not the whole castle is open for the public. Some interesting artefacts are on display.

The castle was closed but our host new the Count that lives in the castle and it just so happens he was leaving with his two little girls as we drove up. The Count told the Land Manager to open up for us and we could tour the grounds. Our private tour was great, the Bunny Hill was so cool... More

Other buildings belonging to Egeskov include Ladegården, a thatched half-timbered building which is now part of the museum. Other buildings are used by the museum and for farming. Surrounding the castle is an old park, covering 20 hectares (49 acres) of land. The park is divided into a number of gardens. The renaissance garden features fountains, a gravel path and... More

I've been coming to Denmark to see family for many years and have always made a point of visiting Egeskov. It's slightly expensive but not overpriced as you can easily make a day of it. The castle itself has 3 floors of rooms, most of which display original furniture and artwork and doesn't feel as museum-y as many similar places.... More

The area was was pleasant. A fun car museum, with a lot of different cars on display. The kids loved the tree pathways.

You don't need to pay the entrance to the castle itself to fill a day here in the park and museums, as the other reviews attest. Not many mention the food though, which was a uniquely bad experience - for us at least - in July 2011. We got the buffet in the central restaurant, and it was actually hard... More

Great place to visit with the kids. They've got a huge playground with all kinds of gadgets and a treetop walkway with amazing views. The car and motorcycle museum is also worth visiting.
