Experimentarium is included on the Discover card, not Hop. Adult entry is €34 (255 DKK) without one, the second highest on the card. It opens every day of the year.
The Discover card covers full entry. At the gate this is the second most expensive thing on the card, so it moves the arithmetic more than almost anything else.
A converted Tuborg bottling plant on the water at Hellerup, rebuilt in 2017 around a brass staircase. Allow three to four hours — it is bigger than it looks from outside.
A hundred-tonne double spiral in brass running the full height of the atrium, and the first thing you see. It is a piece of engineering rather than an exhibit, and it sets the tone for everything above it.
The water floor, where pumps, locks and channels can be rearranged by hand, and the room built around soap films large enough to stand inside. These two hold small children longer than anything else in the building.
Open air at the top of the building looking over Tuborg Havn and out to the Øresund. It is where families eat what they brought, and the obvious place to break a long visit in half.
The price here changed substantially in 2026, and one card question is still open. Confirmed against experimentarium.dk.
Hellerup is about 20 minutes north of the centre, and the journey is covered on the Discover card along with entry.
It covers Experimentarium along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.
Only going here? The card pays for itself across several attractions, not one. If Experimentarium is the only thing on your list, a single ticket is the cheaper buy.
All three are included on the same card, so the only cost of adding them is the time. For the full list, see every attraction the Copenhagen Card covers.
French Impressionists and Danish Golden Age painting in a country house at Charlottenlund, with a Zaha Hadid extension and Finn Juhl's own house in the grounds.
The house at Rungsted where Karen Blixen grew up and wrote, kept as she left it, with a bird sanctuary in the grounds and her grave under a beech tree.
A private collection of classic cars kept in running order rather than behind ropes. Small, and much better than it sounds if anyone in the group is interested.
Adult entry is €34 and a family of four pays around €111 at the gate — the second biggest single saving on the card after the zoo. The Discover card covers it and the journey there, along with 80+ more attractions.
Entry is free on the Copenhagen Card Discover, covering all exhibition floors, the live science shows and the rooftop terrace. Adult admission without a card is €34 (255 DKK for ages 12+), the second highest of any attraction on the card.
Experimentarium opens every day of the year, Mondays included, and stays open through Christmas and New Year. Hours are 9:30am–5pm. That makes it one of the few dependable Monday plans, alongside Copenhagen Zoo and the Viking Ship Museum.
Nothing needs booking ahead. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and go in. In the school holidays the popular floors build queues after about 11am, so an early start is worth the effort on a busy day.
One scan per attraction applies, so Experimentarium is a single visit per card. Three to four hours is the usual stay, so that rarely bites — but you cannot leave for lunch in Hellerup and scan back in afterwards.
Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
