What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Danish Industrial Museum's immersive and hands-on exhibits, which effectively recreate historical atmospheres from worker homes to active machinery. The free admission for children under 18, ample free parking, and picnic facilities make it an excellent value for families. Some visitors noted the cafe looked good but were too engrossed to try it, suggesting the exhibits are highly captivating.
"We had a great time. The fact that there was such a variety of exhibits and almost everything was very hands-on really kept our kids' attention. We ended up staying for almost 4 hours. There was room to have a packed lunch - indoors, too, which was particularly useful on the day of our visit. Free parking right next door was also great."

"Unexpectedly great museum! It offers all kinds of historical industrial processes on site, including the households of workers, which were really great. Ranging from the 1920ies till 2000. They created exactly the atmosphere of the ages they describe. The greatest thing is that you can enter in the shops, the apartments, the machine areas and all workshops. No alarms ringing, no worries that one would steal an old Abba album! Amazing feeling to be back in those times! Very spacious outdoor area and great industrial playground. Suitable for young until early teenager age. Cafe looked good, but we did not get to enjoy it as we were absorbed in the museum one needs at least two to three hours to really enjoy it. Very much worth to visit!"
