Children's playground Kloden
Kloden (the Globe) is a playground built on the deck of the iconic Dokk1 building in Aarhus where children can play in five different play areas, each representing a specific continent. A play route connects figures with clues, drawings, messages, hints and symbols that invite even more games and stories.
Experience a playful journey around the world
The Globe playground is located on Level 1's large outdoor deck around Dokk1 and features five main areas, each inspired by a continent. A play route leads around the playground with clues, symbols and fun facts to get both body and imagination going
Themed adventures in all corners of the world
- North: Keep your balance on floating ice flakes where you can jump and challenge yourself
- North East: Meet the 6-7.5 metre tall Russian bear and race down the slide inside the trunk
- East: Meet a Chinese dragon with stairs and slide - perfect for the little ones
- West: Take on a large North American eagle that provides an aerial challenge - try the balance of the wings and the view 7.5 metres above ground
- North West: Experience Icelandic volcanoes with climbing nets where you can feel the rumble of the earth and play at height
- South: Relax in a hammock, swing together or hide in a reed forest with the African monkey at the centre
Play and fun for all
The design emphasises accessibility, so even children with special needs can join in the fun. Large figures invite exploration - climb high up or hide down, there are experiences for all levels.
The globe not only offers play, but also serves as a cosy meeting place. Both children and adults can relax, meet over a cup of coffee and enjoy the many stories and the beautiful view of the harbour.
