Unlimited rides for a day, sold separately from garden admission. The Copenhagen Card covers getting into Tivoli; it does not cover the rides, and the Ride Pass does not cover getting in. Here is what the pass costs, where you collect it, and the rides it will not get you onto.
Prices in Danish kroner from tivoli.dk, the official shop, checked 17 August 2026.
| Who | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adults and children 8 and over | 329 DKK | Varies by date across 309–349 DKK |
| Children aged 1–7 | 164 DKK | Half the standard adult price |
| Under 1 | Free | No pass needed |
| Fridays from 18:00 | 199 DKK | Before 18:00 a Friday is the standard 329 DKK |
The adult price is not fixed. Tivoli moves it across 309–349 DKK depending on the date, with 329 DKK the standard. The one predictable discount is a Friday evening: from 18:00 the pass drops to 199 DKK, which is the cheapest it is scheduled to be.
Card holders can buy the pass at a discount through Tivoli's dedicated booking link rather than paying the gate price. The form asks for a password and a membership number: the password is Tivoli, and the membership number is your Copenhagen Card number. The Tivoli Gardens venue guide covers the gate side of it — opening hours, what admission is worth, and how the card is scanned at the entrance.
Buying a Ride Pass does not get you into Tivoli. Admission is bought on its own, and the pass is bought on top of it — which is why the pass alone is no use to somebody standing outside the gate. Copenhagen Card holders are the exception in one direction only: admission is already covered on both the Discover and Hop cards, at roughly €23 a head at the door, so the pass is the only ticket left to buy.
You collect the pass inside the gardens. Scan your ticket at one of the self-service machines once you are through the gate and the machine issues it. It is not given out at the entrance and it is not the confirmation email on your phone, so allow a minute for it before you join a queue.
It is non-refundable. A Ride Pass can be exchanged within 14 days, but only in person at one of the ticket booths — there is no way to do it online, and no refund at any point. If your dates are not settled, that is worth knowing before you buy rather than after.
You can leave and come back the same day. Ask for a stamp on the way out and the same ticket readmits you, which is what makes an afternoon in the gardens and an evening on the rides a single day rather than two. The exception is selected Friday Rock nights, when re-entry is not offered — check the date before you plan to step out for dinner. Those nights carry a second rule: from 17:30, anyone under 16 has to be with an adult of at least 25.
The Scary Houses have their own age limit. You must be 12 or over to go in, whichever ticket you hold, and that is separate from the Halloween exclusion below — the Haunted House and Villa Vendetta are not on the pass at all during Halloween.
Tivoli does not open all year. The seasons run roughly late March to late September, mid-October to early November, and mid-November to early January, and the gardens shut entirely between them. A Ride Pass is dated, so the calendar decides whether it is any use at all before the price does.
None of that makes the pass a poor buy if you intend to spend a day on the rides — it makes it a ticket to read before you assume it covers the one ride your children came for.
Our booking partner sells Tivoli admission and the Ride Pass as one ticket, booked for a date and scanned at the gate. If you are not carrying a Copenhagen Card that is the straightforward buy: one purchase covers the gate and the rides, on a date you pick. The widget quotes the live price, which moves with demand the same way the Ride Pass does — we do not print a figure for it here, because the one we printed would be the one that went stale.
If you do hold a card, this is the wrong ticket. Your admission is already covered — about €23 of what this one charges — so the combined ticket pays the gate twice. What you want is the Ride Pass on its own at 329 DKK, roughly €44, through the card-holder link described further up this page. We would rather say that than earn a commission on a ticket you should not be buying.
We earn a small commission when you buy through our links at no extra cost to you. This helps keep our guides independent and up to date. Full disclosure policy →
No. Both the Discover and Hop cards cover garden admission to Tivoli, and the rides are a separate ticket on top. A Ride Pass is 329 DKK for adults, about €44. Card holders can buy one at a discount through Tivoli's dedicated card-holder link.
The pass itself is 329 DKK for adults at the standard rate, moving between 309–349 DKK with the date, and 164 DKK for children aged 1 to 7. The Copenhagen Card does not change those prices, but it does cover the admission you would otherwise pay on top, and card holders get a discount through Tivoli's own booking link.
No. Admission and the Ride Pass are two separate tickets, and buying the pass does not get you through the gate. Copenhagen Card holders already have admission, so the pass is the only thing left to buy.
Scan your ticket at one of the self-service machines inside the gardens and the machine issues the pass. It is not handed over at the gate, and it is not the confirmation on your phone.
Children aged 1 to 7 pay 164 DKK, half the standard adult price. Under-1s go free. From 8 years old a child pays the full adult price of 329 DKK.
On Fridays, yes. From 18:00 the pass drops to 199 DKK, against 329 DKK earlier the same day. That is the only scheduled discount — otherwise the price moves with the date, between 309–349 DKK.
No. The pass is non-refundable. It can be exchanged within 14 days, but only in person at one of the ticket booths — there is no online exchange.
Yes, on most days. Ask for a stamp as you leave and the same ticket readmits you later that day. Selected Friday Rock nights are the exception, when re-entry is not offered at all.
No. The seasons run roughly late March to late September, mid-October to early November, and mid-November to early January, and Tivoli closes entirely between them. A Ride Pass is no use on a date the gardens are shut, so check the calendar before buying either ticket.
Individual rides carry height and safety limits that apply whatever ticket you hold. The Scary Houses are 12 and over. And on Friday Rock nights, anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult of at least 25 from 17:30 onward.
No. Some seasonal rides are excluded, and during Halloween the pass does not cover the Haunted House or Villa Vendetta — both need their own ticket. Individual rides also carry height and safety restrictions regardless of which ticket you hold.
Both cards include garden entry to Tivoli along with 80+ other attractions. The Discover card starts at $91 (€79) for 24 hours, and the Ride Pass is bought on top at a card-holder discount.
