Rainy Day Fun: Science, Royal Sights, and Cards at the Lounge

Copenhagen gave us another gray, rainy day—but that didn’t slow us down. We kicked things off with a cozy card game session at Espresso House, playing Old Maid and Garbage over warm drinks. A calm and easy start before heading out for the day.

We grabbed an Uber for a 20-minute ride to a different part of the city to visit the Experimentarium, and wow—this place was incredible. Hands down one of the best science museums we’ve ever been to for kids. There was so much to do: the girls drove a simulated shipping boat, played interactive brain and sports games, and went through a pitch-black sensory tunnel (at least five times—they loved it!). We watched a short interactive movie, grabbed lunch at the café, and even caught a hot air balloon launch in the lobby. One of the coolest features was a VR experience where you could see the world through the eyes of an insect. We easily spent over three hours exploring and could’ve stayed longer.

Afterward, we took another Uber to visit The Little Mermaid statue—short and sweet, but had to do it! From there, we walked to the royal palace, where the Danish royal family lives, then continued on to the waterfront to see the famous row of colorful homes that line the canal. We wanted to see more of the city so we walked back to the hotel.

By late afternoon, we were ready to wind down. We walked back to the hotel for some rest, played more cards, and had a low-key dinner in the hotel lounge. It was the perfect ending to a full day of discovery, despite the rain.
