4.0Danish Museum of Science and Technology(135 reviews) - Great for 'boys' at heart Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums • Science Museums • Children's Museums • History Museums
Once you enter the doors you instantly forget that it is situated in a somewhat boring place and building in Helsingør (45 km north of Copenhagen). The buildings are packed with technical and historical gadgets in all sizes - airplanes, fire engines, bycicles, telephones, cars, motorbikes, helicopters etc. etc. If you are a little boy - or have a little boy inside you - you will love running around for a few hours at least. Bring your own food and have it on the grass outside (close to an old steam engine) - or go to Helsingør for it. The cafeteria is not worth a visit, but the museum is definitely!See more..
