Legepladsfinder is the easiest way to find great playgrounds during your trip - English city guides, an interactive map, and an English glossary that translates every filter and search term used on the site.
Why we work for tourists
Built for English speakers visiting Denmark
Searching for playgrounds in Denmark as a non-Danish speaker is harder than it should be. Most local Facebook groups are in Danish, municipal websites are only partially translated, and TripAdvisor mainly surfaces paid attractions instead of public playgrounds.
Legepladsfinder solves that with dedicated English guides covering all of Denmark and the three largest cities - Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. Our glossary translates every filter, slug and search term into English. The interactive map works regardless of language.
And remember - the playgrounds themselves are almost always free. The subscription pays for the platform that maps them.

Tips for visiting families
Use the PWA
Install Legepladsfinder to your phone home screen for the trip. No App Store, just one tap from the browser. Install guide.
Combine with attractions
Most major Copenhagen and Aarhus attractions have a public playground within 5 minutes. Use the map to find one near where you're already going.
Pack for weather
Danish weather changes hourly. Bring a rain layer year-round. Locals say: der er ikke dårligt vejr, kun dårligt tøj - "there's no bad weather, only bad clothing".
Public transport works
Children under 12 typically travel free with an adult. Metro, train and most buses are step-free and pram-accessible across all major cities.
