A fun, interesting way to explore Copenhagen as a family

5.00A really fun way to explore Copenhagen. The clues were just challenging enough and the children (9 and 12) enjoyed taking the lead with directing us around the city. Led to a couple of hidden gems that we would probably not have found without it! We did it over 2 days because we had something else booked and that worked just as well - allow 2-4 hours, depending on how much you want to stop/enjoy the sights along the way. We had the Copenhagen card so it didn't cost us anything extra. Would definitely recommend if you are exploring the city with pre-teens.

5.00We had a wonderful day in Copenhagen. We highly recommend this treasure hunt and it was a great way to see a lot of Copenhagen and learn a lot as well. The questions and information were interesting, and you could see not only the main attractions but also small, wonderful places like Jorcks Passage.

5.00We tried this for the first time and can highly recommend it as a fun and original way to explore the city. It took us to places we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and the experience was both engaging and enjoyable. The City Hunt includes a booklet, solution card and pen, and was a great mix of historic facts, local tips and fun quests. Our daughter loves treasure hunts, so this was right up her alley — she had a fantastic time! Highly recommended if you’re looking for something different to do or just want to see the city from a fresh perspective!
Fun way to see the city and learn some new things

5.00We had already had a couple of days looking around the city but as we already had the Copenhagen card and wanted to visit Tivoli, we thought we'd try this afterwards for a bit of fun. My partner and I actually really enjoyed this. We felt it had the right balance of puzzles, waking and interesting info. We certainly saw new bits of the city and learned things about bits we'd already seen. Definitely something different and enjoyable to do!
