Fairytale island

How does it look inside one of the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen? Inside the children’s cultural house The Tinderbox, you can dive down into the realm of the Sea King, where the Little Mermaid lives. You can dress up as a mermaid, a witch or a prince and make up your own fairytales, with you playing the lead. You can also play dress-up at the Period Collection (Tidens Samling) in clothes from the time your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were kids. And you can play with toys from the old days.

Play your own fairytale

The children’s cultural house The Tinderbox is a cultural house for children, youth and adults. It is a living, active cultural offer, which conveys Hans Christian Andersen's fairytales through retelling, theatre and drama activities, art, music, and play.

Wonderful Funen entertainment

Family excursions

It’s fun to lie on the beach, but sometimes you just have to do something else. Funen has adventures for all kinds of weather. Here are some suggestions for a lot of activities that you can do in one morning or afternoon – inside, outside, up and down, at high speed or at a more leisurely pace.

Go to the beach – and get soaked and wet

Do you like getting sand between your toes, and are you ready for a refreshing dip? The beach water around Funen is excellent, and in most places the water level is fairly low and ideal for playing and splashing. But you can also go surfing, sailing, winter bathing and much more. So get out your inner playfulness and inflate the water toys and go out to the coast to some of the very unique Funen beaches. Healthy holiday entertainment for children and adults.
