The area
Address
Neighborhood: Indre By (Inner City)
This is the heart of old town Copenhagen, with its blend of charming old buildings and bold new architecture, broad avenues and tiny streets as well as picturesque canals and a modern harbor. The inner city is home to the Royal Danish Theatre, which consists of three buildings, two of which are new and situated on the harbor front. The streets, squares and venues of the inner city and its surrounding neighborhoods, are alive all year round with everything from jazz festivals to outdoor ice skating rinks and parachuting at the lakes right in the center of the city. This compact area boasts beautiful old castles, tranquil parks, and bustling squares where you can always find a bench to stretch out your legs whenever you need a break.

- Sagi RHadera, Israel71 contributionsWorth a Short Visit in Bad WeatherI'm giving them 2 starts for the huge man statue at the entrance and the option to prepare a souvenir from a coin (for additional payment, of course), my son enjoyed it. Otherwise - they wouldn't earn any points from me. Certainly overpriced, with pretty few exhibits, mostly just citing the corresponding book entries. Not very clean, some exhibits are broken, the whole museum is really worn out, some parts are non-related at all to world records, can't understand this. They sell some "add-ons", like a "thrilling" area where one can experience "terrible stuff", which was ridiculous to put it mildly... If you really want to go there, save at least some money and take only the basic offer, don't fall into the "packages" trap.Hi 702sagir I am sorry we didn't live up to your expectations during your visit.

- aymanelswafCheshunt, United Kingdom200 contributionsEntertaining visit but nothing special.We visited here as a bit of a time killer and got it at a discounted price so wasn't too bad. Like any other guinness world record museum you walk around reading facts and figures, the best part of the visit is the entertainment part where there are games and entertainment for you to physically get involved in. I wouldn't advise prioritising this while you're in Copenhagen but if you don't have much else to do it is good to kill some time.Hi aymanelswaf I'm glad you enjoyed our interactive games and features.

- Joyman LPerth, Australia1,467 contributionsQuick time slotWe visited free as part of the Copenhagen Card. Has plenty of records ranging from anything to everything however some of the exhibits were showing age. There were some fun games that can be tried at the top floor. Our visit included a detour to the haunted exhibition (during halloween) which was short and underwhelming. As it was free with the Card, it was good for bad weather otherwise it's not worth paying for it.Visited October 2019Written February 21, 2020
- LMM1983Pensacola, Florida125 contributionsFind anything else to do!So lame. There were no real “artifacts” just cheap, poorly made imitations. Records listed around the building were things like “longest fingernail on a double amputee with blue eyes living in Indonesia.” We only came because the trains weren’t running so we couldn’t go to Hillerod or Helsingor. The silver lining is that we used the Copenhagen card so it didn’t cost us anything - spent less than 10 minutes and left.Visited October 2022Traveled as a coupleWritten November 6, 2022
- CumbrianDanLondon, United Kingdom27 contributionsPoor - could be so much better.This was an incredibly poor visit. It was incredibly dated and took all but 20 minutes to walk around. The artefacts on show were fake and the displays in some instances were falling apart.

- DewsburyEmily109 contributionsJust a bit rubbish reallyWe’d seen the reviews and would not have bothered to go in but had a Copenhagen card, were walking past and it was freezing outside. It’s really naff. The exhibitions are cheap and really not very interesting. Toilets were a bit dirty too. We were through the whole thing in 15 minutes.Visited February 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten February 25, 2023

This is awful. Where to begin?
It's tiny.
It's v expensive for what it is.
It's crowded.
The interactive displays are so few and far between, they are never accessible.
This is the sort of place you may be impressed with if you found it attached to a motorway service station and was £4 to get in.
Ripley's is slightly better.

There are very few attractions open in Copenhagen on a Monday so this is a good way to spend the time. We spent about 2 hours going to all 4 attractions of the fun pass.
