The Swiss Adventure...: Colorful Copenhagen

Tivoli...Sweet Amusement Park

Though Copenhagen is a lively, and large metropolis; the city is host of beautiful parks, botanical gardens and plenty of green space.

We all enjoyed lazily walking through pristine gardens, all the while stopping to let sweet Noah play with the local children.

As a mother, you come to realize and appreciate the small wonders of “the local playground” and no

write – up of this magnificent city would be complete without mentioning what has to be the coolest playground we have yet to stumble across.

Though the Danes did move the Little Mermaid, they did make up for her relocation with a super cool park.

During a workday for Robert, Noah and I decided to explore the city ourselves and we stumbled across this little gem.

Imagine a playground that has it all – sheds full of childrens' toys (I know, we too thought we had landed at Santa’s workshop!) bikes, tricycles, wagons, dolls, strollers, tennis rackets, all the fixings for making the best sandcastles in town, bathrooms exclusively for the little people, changing rooms with awesome pictures on the wall, all while being clean, free and totally open to the public.

And as my little man was busy in playground heaven, I got to thinking….”why does this concept work so well here?” “Why doesn’t anyone steal the toys?” “How can more societies function in such a Utopian manner?” I was in total awe…in fact we were so impressed with this playground haven that we brought Robert back for a visit the next day.

Ahhh…Copenhagen certainly not a city on our radar, but a city we are thrilled we visited.

And with just four short days to explore her wonders, we felt we did a pretty good job of capturing her charm and taking away with us an appreciation for a new little gem of a city.
