Quite wild: Northern Europe's largest safari park
Africa is within reach here. Experience over 500 animals in the wild. Cruise through the park in your car, at a safe distance from the dangerous ones! Or, if you prefer an authentic experience – in the safari bus of the animal park.
In the non-dangerous areas, you can of course walk on foot. You will pass through landscapes of several continents, where you encounter animals that are naturally native there. White wolves, tigers, or rhinoceroses, zebras, giraffes, kangaroos, monkeys – animals from all over the world have found an optimal home in Knuthenborg Park, where they are protected from poachers or other man-made dangers.
How about a tour in the park's rustic Land Rover?
Along the way, you can get out and get close to selected animals. The nature guides will gladly tell you about the animals and the unique history of the safari park. Or watch the feeding of the wolves and tigers. Here you experience everything up close – without ever being in danger.
Give your family a great, exciting day that none of you will forget anytime soon.

It's all fun and games in Limpopoland
In Limpopoland, the amusement park located in the middle of the safari park, children of all ages have a great time. Here they can really let off steam. And when hunger strikes, there are plenty of "feeding stations" for the little predators.
Congo Splash – Europe's steepest water slide
For all adventurous water enthusiasts, Congo Splash is the ultimate experience. A tingling sensation in your stomach is guaranteed! After a leisurely tour through the canals, it goes up 16 meters. For 30 seconds, you can then enjoy the view of Africa's wild animals on the savannah. Then, suddenly, it's a steep drop down. Splash! Once you reach the bottom – you're soaked! An insane ride that you'll want to do more than once.
Even More Water!
After a safari, you need to cool off. The best way to do this is, for example, to stand under the big coconut that pours out 75 liters of water at once. The water playground is fun for everyone and absolutely safe for children: here, the water comes from above and runs off the base. Of course, the very little ones have their own water playground.
Climbing at the Highest Point
Let your children also climb Kilimanjaro – another attraction in Limpopoland. The highest mountain in Africa is here 8 meters high, and at the top, there's great fun to be had with ropes and spider nets. Occasionally, smoke rises from the mountain – just like a real volcano.
The 100-meter long and 6-meter high slide Kampala-Express is also exciting for the little ones from 3 years old.
The natural playground, the largest in Denmark, allows imagination and the joy of movement free rein. Here, all little monkeys and every Tarzan can climb, jump, bounce, and swing through the air.

Time travel in the Dinosaur Forest
Take your family on a journey back in time to more than 65 million years ago, when you walk through the Dinosaur Forest among lively and roaring dinosaurs like the Triceratops or Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Real fossils, large skeletons, and fascinating emus, the modern relatives of dinosaurs, offer exciting and entertaining learning for the whole family. And who knows – maybe the paleontologists in your family will find fossils during the excavation!

Discover the wonder of evolution at Denmark's first and only Evolution Museum!
A world-class dinosaur museum
The Museum of Evolution opened in the summer of 2022. It offers a unique, multisensory experience with lights, sounds, and scents that bring the prehistoric world to life in a completely new and modern way.
The museum actively supports scientific research and houses real skeletons of some of the world's finest fossils from the Permian, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Neogene periods. With the addition of Lokiceratops and Camasaurus Grandis, the Evolution Museum has become one of the most content-rich and spectacular dinosaur museums in the world.

At the Museum of Evolution, visitors can admire some of the world's rarest, most complete, and most valuable fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, including the best-preserved Allosaurus in the world, a giant sloth, and the largest skull ever found. Since June 22, the Evolution Museum has also proudly housed a globally unique dinosaur skeleton, whose bones were newly discovered by a team of researchers.
The museum holds several world sensations, as it is home to many spectacular and highly valuable discoveries—fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals that have been excavated in recent years, covering a total of 300 million years of evolutionary history.
The Evolution Museum is expanding its collection with one of the most intact long-necked dinosaur skeletons in the world—solidifying its position among the top museums globally.
The skeleton of a 13-meter-long long-necked dinosaur – Camarasaurus grandis – has been on display at the Evolution Museum in Knuthenborg since June 2024. This long-necked dinosaur consists of 97% real bone, making it one of the most intact long-necked skeletons ever discovered.
Most recently, the museum has also expanded its collection with an entirely new dinosaur species, the horned giant Lokiceratops, further solidifying the Evolution Museum as one of the most impressive and spectacular dinosaur museums in the world.

With the arrival of the fascinating long-necked dinosaur skeleton—one of the three most intact long-necked skeletons in the world—the Evolution Museum rises to the top ranks globally. It has been named Elin.
The museum already houses an impressive collection of real fossils, including the best-preserved Allosaurus specimen in the world, the only Lokiceratops, the largest horned dinosaur ever discovered, the world's largest skull of a land animal (Torosaurus), and the eighth specimen of the first bird, Archaeopteryx.
Unique in Europe
It is quite rare for such a well-preserved dinosaur to arrive in Europe. The director of Knuthenborg and the Evolution Museum, Christoffer Knuth, is excited about another new, world-class skeleton and the opportunity for museum visitors to experience one of the most famous and impressive creatures of the past up close:
"We are truly proud to present something as extraordinary and unique as one of the most complete long-necked dinosaurs in the world. When we expand our collection of dinosaurs, it has to be one of the best of its kind—and we have now achieved that multiple times. Our goal of being one of the world’s top dinosaur museums has been reached, but we continue to build on it."
