Randers Tropical Zoo is an indoor zoo in Randers, Denmark. It is located in three big domes, with the biomes of Africa, Asia, and South America. The domes contain animals from the biomes, and most of the animals live freely in the domes. This zoo is in the nearby town of Randers, but it might be worth the drive if your into tropical forests and monkeys running about. Our kids loved this place.

This unique experience is also a drive away located in Randers, the same nearby town as the tropical forest. This however is a thrill for both parents and kids, as you get strapped into a suspended line and venture the park - in the treetops!!! Looks easier than done, however a great boost in confidence completing the course, without having to be fetched by an instructor :) ... 5 stars for this place, be sure to check their opening hours during the season of operations.

On the other side of Aarhus about a 30 minute drive from Risskov. I spend so many hours of my childhood here, that it brings up a lot of fun memories, do call them to make sure they accept walk ins. If you are an experienced rider, Skåde forest is nearby and there is a shortcut to the beach, but you would need a guide, to find the secret passages. If they don't accept walk-ins - check this website out for other places to go horseback riding https://bornibyen.dk/aarhus/articles/de-5-rideture-for-store-og-smaa-i-aarhus-og-omegn

Golf... we have two golf courses around Aarhus. Mollerup Golf Club, and Aarhus Golf Club. Although Aarhus Golf Club might have stolen the spot light. - I must admit that I'm bias towards Mollerup Golf club :) Growing up my stepfather was the proprietor of the 19th hole and I have been stomping those fields, from before Golf became a thing. Highly recommend.

No trip to Denmark, without a stop in Legoland, we almost considered it mandatory. Just kitting, but seriously not one single child in Denmark will become of age, without a getting lego car driver license as soon as we are tall enough to reach the mark in their measuring stock. It's tradition. Legoland is a few hours south, but if you so happened to be flying in or out of Billund..... it's right there. check the website for opening hours during their season.

Sightseeing

Be transported back in time, with a trip to ''the old city''. A truly unique museum, consisting of old historic homes, that has been moved brick for brick and transported to this one location for preservation and keep sake. How did Danes live more than hundred years ago? Find out with a visit to ''den gamle by'' and help support a good cause of keeping this historic museum open for generations to come. Check out their website for opening hours, they have been fighting to remain in business due to the lock downs and only by grace and local donations managed to hang in there.

Walks

Nature walks with the family? Aside from the obvious stroll on our beach or in the nearby Risskov forest. Egå Engsø is pretty cool. It's a 5 KM walk around the man made mini lake, known for it's rich bird life, which has attacked rare species for Denmark including the return of a sea eagle family.
