Christianshavn playground

4 days ago I visited Christianshavn's playground. I thought it was extremely fun. There was a giant pyramid net, cable ride, obstacle course, football court, tennis nets, an area for bycicling, a playground for the younger children(½ year-6 years), table tennis, basketball court and a big rolling barrel. This is the only playground in Copenhagen with a cable ride and a pyramid net which I've seen so far. It is close to a big lake where you can go for a lovely walk. There are several picnic tables. There are nearby attractions of Christianshavn, which I will tell you all about later.

Kastellet

Sorry I was not writing lately. Kids in Copenhagen are very busy – school, sports and all the after school activities. But good news is that I am back!

Star shaped island of Kastellet

Yesterday I visited Kastellet. Kastellet is the oldest still working military barracks .It is from the 1660´s. It is shaped like a star. Kastellet even has a prison, church, powderhouse, windmill and a commander’s house. The Church at the Citadel was built in 1704 in a baroque style during the reign of King Frederik IV. There is a 20 meter wide moat and a rampart all around Kastellet, where you can have a nice walk. You have a fantastic view of the city on the hills on the star shaped island.

There is a playground on the other side of the rampart (by the Swedish Church). It is between the King´s bastion and the Prince´s bastion.

FunCity Copenhagen

Today I went to FunCity. It was my friend Cameron's birthday. I thought it was a wonderful party. I stayed there 3 hours! I was running nearly all that time! When the party was over, I was so tired I could barely move (I was not surprised).
There is a lot of entertainment for children in the FunCity. There are three giant bouncing castles; two playgrounds for younger children; a giant "playroom", which is 5 floors tall and around 30-35 meters wide. There are also two football courts, two foosball tables, three Wii, 4-5 table-tennis pitches, two arcade machines.
The FunCity is in Hoerkaer 3d, 2730-Herlev.
I love FunCity; it is the best indoor playground in Copenhagen and a great place to have a birthday party.

Rosenborg Castle

Today I went to Rosenborg slot (slot means castle). There was a treasure hunt that I participated in which was very fun. The treasure hunt was nicely organized so that you saw the whole castle during the hunt. I especially liked the treasure room in the basement where the most valuable treasures of Denmark are kept. To finish the treasure hunt you had to find all the clues that each was a letter and a story - I will not tell you the answer to the treasure hunt. If you complete the treasure hunt you get a candy called Heksehyl which means "witch scream".

Inside Rosenborg slot I saw the clothes of King Christian the Fourth that he wore during a famous battle against Sweden. The clothes was all bloody. Here is a song written about the occasion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyCMcF-1SR4&feature=related.

I also saw a statue of a boy Carl that lived in the same house where I live now but he lived in the house more than 300 years ago - Interesting! Carl was a play mate of King Christian the Seventh.

 Rosenborg slot (castle) was built in 1606-1607. It was built by Christian IV ( fourth ). Rosenborg slot (castle) is in Kings garden, Copenhagen.

8-years old

Good news everybody. Finished with Kid in Copenhagen as a seven-year old - I am now 8 years old. I had a very nice birthday party with 20 kids from my school. The party was at the zoological museum in Copenhagen. I will write a blog about the museum soon.

End of Elephant Parade in Copenhagen

The 26'th of August all the elephants went out of Copenhagen. For me it is a big shame, and I will miss them. I still did not see all of them. I saw only 98 out of the 102 elephants. I hope the Elephant parade will come back to Copenhagen another time. Thank you people who made the elephants - It was fun for me to find them and I learned a lot about my city while looking for elephants.

Lego Store Copenhagen

My favourite shop in Copenhagen is the new Lego Store. It opened in October 2010, and I have been there already many times. I love Lego and especially Technic. My last purchase in the Lego Store was a Lego Technic truck - Actually it was my grand mother who bought it for me. The truck is 50 cm long and it was difficult to build.

 

The new Copenhagen Lego Store is the second biggest Lego shop in Denmark, after the Legoland shop. I really like the Copenhagen Lego Store. I love to go there and look at all the many Lego boxes and exhibitions. In the Store you can get a VIP card that gives you a 200 DKK discount. The Store is on Vimmelskaftet which is a pedestrian street right in the centre of Copenhagen. The people working in the Store are really nice and once they gave me a little Lego thing for free.
