In week 42, all schools in Denmark are closed. This means that many families take their autumn holidays, and every year there are many activities during this week, including great Halloween experiences for children.

Museums and attractions go All In!

In Denmark, the autumn break falls in week 42, when schools are closed. Below, we have compiled a list of some fun and enjoyable activities.

In the Aarhus Region, the museums, as always, go all in when the autumn break begins in week 42 – offering a cornucopia of experiences and activities aimed at children and young people.

From Vikings to wild animals – autumn holidays at museums and attractions  

And in the Aarhus region, we have plenty of museums and attractions. Whether it’s museums, amusement and theme parks, zoos, or similar venues, almost all of them have arranged fun, cozy, and educational activities. 

Together with your children, you can, among other things, make your own paper, carve turnip lanterns, whittle willow sticks, go on treasure hunts, or dive into fun games and creative activities. Here, you’re not just watching – you’re part of the experience.

Have a wonderful week 42 in the Aarhus Region 🎃🍂!
