We docked in Copenhagen at 6pm on May 31, 2011. That was during dinner so we did not go out. I also had a spa appointment at 7:30pm which I did not want to miss. I got a facial, massage, and pedicure. This is something that I don't normally do.
We explored Copenhagen the following day on June 1st. The main thing we wanted to do was go to Tivoli Gardens amusement park which did not open until 11am. The mornings is the best time of day for us. Caden woke up around 6:30am almost everyday. A few times before 6am. The sun rose at 4:30am which woke us all up early.
The first thing we did in Copenhagen is took the ship's bus to town. Then we walked around the peditrian only area, explored the shops (all of which were too expensive to buy anything), and ate lunch at McDonalds. We are not big McDonalds fans, however, we did not want to spend $40+ on lunch. I think it cost us around $20 at McDonalds, which is expensive for McDonalds considering we got two Happy Meals and one cheeseburger (we try and save money when we can to save and spend on other things). After lunch we went to Tivoli Gardens. Caden was free, our tickets were around $30 each whcih did not include any rides. If you wanted to get unlimited rides the ticket jumped to around $75, I believe. Or you can just pay for rides as you go, which is what we decided to do. The rides cost anywhere from $5 per person to $15 per person. The only rides Caden could ride cost $5 since he's small. If he was older we would have bought the unlimited ticket. We only spent around $25 for rides and sadly only road 2 rides.
The park was neat though. There was an aquarium which of course cost money but we got to see them feed the fish. There was also a nice playground which Caden loved. We enjoyed our time at the park and are glad we chose to do that.
We bought Caden a Build-a-Bear from Copenhagen. He named his bear, Cranbear. He enjoyed making the bear and playing with the computers to register the bear. Copenhagen is a nice city.
| Yikes! We became those parents!! We turned our back to pay and Caden climbed up on the computer station. |
