When you look at a list of top places to visit in Denmark, Tivoli is usually right at the top. So, we knew we would definitely have to go there at some point during our time here. We have avoided going because it was pretty expensive and with the kids being young, we didn't know what they would be able to do there. But, during the Christmas season, they decorate up the park with a lot of lights, including Santa and live Reindeer. So, we decided to surprise the kids and take them to Tivoli one night for just an entrance pass, not a ride ticket. It was so fun to surprise them. We told them we were going shopping in Copenhagen, which they weren't very excited about, but when we walked by Tivoli and said, Lets go, they were so thrilled. The park was very pretty with the lights and atmosphere, but overall, I have to admit we were all a little disappointed. It's quite small and we were so glad we didn't buy a ride pass, because it seemed like there weren't very many rides for the kids. I guess when you've been to places like Disneyland, Disney World or even Lagoon, its hard not to compare. Anyway, we still had a really fun time there. We got to see the Reindeer, waiting in line for over an hour to visit Santa Claus, had a really yummy hamburger dinner, played in a super fun playground and watched a fun water/light show. I think the highlight of the trip though was finding one of those crane games that was filled with stuffed animals. It was reasonably priced and you played until you won. Myra went first and ended up with 2 toys. Lexi went second and ended up with 3! And then Noah got just 1, but it was his favorite color. The kids thought it was the best day ever! So, overall, we did have a really fun time. Not sure we'll go back again, but who knows. =) To end the day off, the trains home were delayed and we ended up standing at the train station for over an hour before we were finally able to head home. Not fun!
