Frilandsmuseet is the largest open air museum in Denmark. It has more than 50 farmsteads, houses, mills and workshops open to the guests. The houses are from all over Denmark and cover the period 1650 - 1950.

The area of ca 35 hectares also has historical gardens, woodland, moorland, ponds and fields. In the gardens and fields you meet horses, goats, sheep, pigs, hens and geese.

In the summertime reenactors make you feel part of history by telling stories, sharing their daily chores with you and showing you their life, work and dreams.

Historical theatre is on almost daily in the summer. The plays are fast, fun and easy to understand by both children and adults. They are a big hit with the audiences every year.

Great experiences

It's a wonderfully different museum with lots of space for romantic strolls outdoors and farm animals from the old days, which the children can pet. Although the old buildings have changed their original location, it is as if you are walking straight into hundred year old villages with houses you can actually enter!
When they have actors dressed up to fill out this scene, everything is perfect!
The only bad thing i can think of is, that it's a bit dificult to get there by public transport. Not at all imposible though!

A wonderful place

I've been there many times! It's the best place to stroll around, look at old and beatiful buildings. Bring your own picnic basket and spend the day haging out here. When you get tired of walking, you can take the horse carriage for a round trip, which the kids love.
It's so close to Copenhagen, and yet it seems so far away. Don't miss out, if you want to have a great memory with you home. Enjoy!

Peaceful and pleasant

Stroll at your own pace. I have been here many, many times thoughout my 50 years on earth, and the museum is still developing. Recently, they have added Andelsbyen, where I saw the grocery store with a lady behind the desk looking right out the 30'es.
Gardens, old trees, and animal husbandry adds to the cozy feeling of being here.
Entrance is free. So this leaves plenty of money to spend on books, ceramics, textiles or toys in the museum store.

Nice Museum

Very nice museum. Suffers from self-sufficiency, however; they feel very proud of everything they do -but frankly; they're naive which may fit the scope of the museum; however. Spoiled by state-subsidies for years, it is a fact that the Restaurant and any type of food you buy at the museum is incredibly poor and expensive. It is unprofessional that the museum does not put forward strict demands to the franchisetaker of the museum-restaurant to provide typical danish food at a reasonable price. Instead you can enjoy exactly the opposite.
