In learning about Denmark, I've noticed that there are a ton of amusement parks there! I had heard of one before - Tivoli Gardens - because it was one of Walt Disney's inspirations in creating Disneyland, and one of my friends went there before and told me how much I'd love it...needless to say it is certainly on the top of my list if I ever make it to Denmark!
Tivoli is located in Copenhagen, and is actually the second oldest amusement park in the world, having opened in 1843. The park boasts 4.5 million annual visitors, is the most visited theme park in Scandinavia, and the second most visited park in Europe behind Disneyland Paris.

Tivoli has many attractions, including a merry-go-round, wooden roller coaster, scenic railway and more, along with historic themed structures and beautiful landscaping.
During World War II, Nazi sympathizers burnt down many of Tivoli's buildings, including their famous concert hall. Undaunted, the Danes constructed temporary buildings in their place and had the park operational within a few weeks.

One of my favorite structures is the Moorish Palace, which was constructed in 1909 and now houses a 5 star boutique hotel and Michelin star awarded restaurant. I looked up the price for a one-night stay in the middle of January and it was over $450 bucks! If I ever have crazy money I'm going to go!!

With my budget, however, it's more likely I'll be staying elsewhere and dining at one of the park's other fine restaurants like
Grøften, which has been providing traditional Danish food to park guests since 1874, and is known for its welcoming atmosphere and great service.
One day, I will definitely visit Tivoli!!! I can't wait to see the park that inspired Walt Disney!
Too cool... Knowing the connection helps me to better understand some of the design work in the older sections of Disneyland!!! Again, too cool!!!
