The
Tivoli Amusement Park is right in the center of Copenhagen between the city hall and the main train station. It has been going since 1843 and has 110,000 lanterns. Every guide book that I read said you needed to go to Tivoli. I thought, yeah whatever, an amusement park. Well, we went and I am glad we did.

Tivoli was very quaint, old fashioned and just cute. There were a few roller coasters and rides but we did not do any of them. We just ate dinner, watched a pantomime and walked around. It really was a pretty magical place.

They had a large theater just for the pantomime. It was a pretty big production and lasted 20-30 minutes. Katherine was enthralled for the entire performance.


Right as the pantomime was over, there was a parade that went all over the park. They look like British soldiers but they were actually kids aged about 10-15. Again, Katherine loved it.

Katherine's new expression is "Whoaaaaaa!" She loved watching the rollercoaster go over her head and she loved to say "Whooooaaaaaa!" every time.

She also enjoyed watching the merry-go-round. They had some really beautiful carousel animals on it. I think she might have enjoyed going for a ride but we decided not to when we realized how much it would cost ($5 per person).

My favorite thing was the 110,000 lights. They were very unique. As a want to be photographer I had all these great shots in my head but without a tripod, they were all just average. It was very frustrating and I finally just gave up on getting the shots I wanted. You can imagine however that it was very pretty.



I think my favorite thing about Tivoli was watching Katherine be so excited about all of the new things she was experiencing. It really was fun.

Hello!
I do not remember through who's blog I stumbled on to yours, but I thought I would come out of hiding and say hi and that I love all the beautiful pictures you put on here! I live in Denton, TX., not distant neighbors of your home here in the States.
Have a good weekend!
The great thing about pantomime is you don't have to know the language to understand. That's fun that Katherine is able to get into that sort of stuff now.
