A perfect place to be. The interior of the castle was not so interesting special if you have visited a lot other castles but the gardens and the expedition were wonderful. The garden is huge well preserved with children activities too. Great place to relax and have pic nic Men and boy would love the car and motorbike expeditions. Until... More

This place was wonderful. I would return in a heart-beat. Everything is expensive in Denmark, so the fact that other reviewers cite the high cost is ridiculous to me. You are there-- you want to see a wonderful castle and grounds and tour the area. GO. The history of the place is intense and everything is so well-preserved. Plus-- unlike... More

This place goes on forever: one minute you are looking at toy cars, then walking in trees, then a maze, then a hammock in a massive garden... And the beautiful castle is always in the background. I'm sure we missed things- theres so much to do! Only downside is the scary 20 minute walk along a motorway to get there.... More

To be fair, $35 is a high admission price for a castle. However, if you have time to see everything else this place has to offer, I think you'll be quite pleased. We delighted in the eccentricity of the place-- see the current owner's paintball dueling guns, view what has to be one of the largest motorcycle collections in Europe,... More

I have been to this castle "a million" times and you can spend a whole day here. They have lots of playgrounds and outdoor activities for kids and adults alike. The car museums are great and especally boys love the ambulances and firetrucks. I would skip the entrance to the castle with smaller kids as it is a bit boring... More

My wife and I just returned from one month trip to Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain and a cruise to the Norwegian fjords. Europe and especially Scandinavia are very expensive for those with US dollars. In Copenhagen we rented a car for two days and drove to Rotskilde, Odense and Egeskov Castle. There we bought tickets for the garden only, which... More
