Play at Kronborg

1.

Kronborg for arrowheads

Around the castle you can experience history first-hand with the many fun activities. When you find a green chest of drawers, it means you can touch, fiddle and explore the castle's fascinating past. Try talking to the parrot, throw yourself into the royal four-poster bed or feel the rush when you fire a cannon.

2.

Fast as a prince or princess

In this huge dance hall - in fact the largest in the Nordic region - the kings held the wildest parties. The cannons roared every time the king said cheers! How fast can you sprint from one end to the other?

3.

Throw yourself into the four-poster bed

King Frederik II and Queen Sophie slept in a four-poster bed like this. So come and experience what it feels like to live like a king and queen. Did you know that their son Christian the 4th - the one who built the Round Tower - also played here in the castle when he was a boy?

Grab a pan and explore the royal kitchen

Here, the chef has been hard at work cooking for the big parties. Sometimes they had to cook more than 50 courses! Come and stir the big pots by the fireplace, bake a delicious bread or sniff the many spices used in the food. Could you be the king's new chef?

What does your dream castle look like?

Here's your chance to be the architect of Kronborg. Build your dream castle in LEGO® or choose the best colors for Queen Sofie's new dress. You decide - just like a real king or queen!

Cannons and gunpowder at Kronborg

If you're lucky, you can see the impressive cannons at Kronborg in action. On special occasions, they are still fired and you can feel the rush of this ancient tradition. The cannons have been part of the castle's history as a fortress, used for both defense and celebration. Today they are fired as a tribute to the past, and it's an experience that fills the castle with both boom and adventure. Keep an eye on the calendar - it might be during your visit that the cannons sound!
