Guinness World Records is included on both cards. Adult entry is €23 (169 DKK) without one. Scanning your card here also admits you to the Mystic Exploratorium next door.
Both cards cover entry. The part worth knowing before you go is what the one scan opens beyond the door it is scanned at.
The only Guinness World Records Museum in Europe, and a dark-corridor illusion attraction behind the same scan. Allow an hour to two between them.
Fifteen hundred square metres of them on Strøget — a sports gallery, a display built from 1,382,101 dominoes and the world’s largest Pac-Man among them. The point of the place is scale you cannot get from a photograph, which is also why the ones reproduced on a wall panel land less well than the ones you stand next to.
Screens and challenges where visitors have a go at record attempts themselves rather than reading about them. It is the part that holds children longest and the reason the time people spend here varies so widely.
A dark-corridor illusion attraction in the same building — a shadow wall that keeps your outline after you move, a face-swap mirror, paintings that follow you, an electric chair. Short, and better than it sounds. It comes with the Guinness scan rather than needing a second one.
One thing we would rather say plainly than leave you to find out, one ticket price that is not the one you will see quoted, and an address we had wrong until recently. Checked against ripleys.com.
Østergade 16, on Strøget by Kongens Nytorv. About as central as an attraction gets, and covered on both cards.
It covers Guinness World Records along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.
Only going here? The card pays for itself across several attractions, not one. If Guinness World Records 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.
Robert Ripley’s collection of oddities and illusions, with the H.C. Andersen Fairy-Tale House behind the same entrance, at the Rådhuspladsen end of Strøget.
Contemporary art in the old royal academy building at the top of Nyhavn, with high galleries and a courtyard behind it.
Contemporary art installed in a deconsecrated medieval church between Strøget and the canal.
Entry is €23 per adult (169 DKK) without a card, and 109 DKK for children aged 4 to 11. Both cards include it — along with the Mystic Exploratorium on the same scan, 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport.
Entry is free on both cards, and the issuer states the same scan also admits you to the Mystic Exploratorium in the same building — a paying visitor needs the 206 DKK combined ticket. Without a card an adult pays €23 (169 DKK), children 4–11 109 DKK.
It opens every day of the week, Mondays included, which makes it one of the dependable Monday options in the city centre alongside Ripley’s, the Museum of Copenhagen and the Planetarium. Most city museums close on Mondays, so this end of Strøget is worth keeping for the start of the week.
Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and walk in. Mention the Mystic Exploratorium at the desk so both venues are opened on the one scan.
One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. The Mystic Exploratorium comes with that same scan rather than counting as a second one, while Ripley’s, fifteen minutes away at the Rådhuspladsen end of Strøget, is a separate attraction with a scan of its own.
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.
