Summer holiday activities for children and adults
We have packed the summer with great experiences for all ages and provided space for summer holiday activities for both children and adults, big arm movements and quiet contemplation in our large outdoor areas at The Green Museum at Gammel Estrup.
NOTE! The program below was for 2024 – this year's program will be posted as soon as it is complete.
This year's summer holiday activity gives you the opportunity to experience the development of farm animals from the 1960s to today through fun and educational activities such as chicken puzzles, pig tetris, tastings and a sculpture workshop. You can read more about that further down the page.
The hopefully good summer weather provides a fantastic opportunity to enjoy our exhibition "The Agricultural Botanical Garden", where we have over 400 different types of apple trees, 80 different types of rhubarb, different types of cabbage, legumes, berries, culinary herbs, summer flowers and much more.
All year round, this living exhibition (and conservation center) is an absolutely fantastic experience, as the weather and seasons ensure that you see something completely new every time you visit the exhibition.
Summer holiday experiences for the whole family
Summer is the perfect time to visit and learn about our old Danish breeds of farm animals. Our farm animals come in almost all sizes, from the smallest honey bees to the largest cows.
If it's a rainy day or there's just a light shower, our 6,000 m2 indoor exhibitions are of course also open - and here we entice with exhibitions about breeding, the farming community and our large indoor forest - in the exhibition STORT.
But this summer we also offer the opportunity to become a farm worker for a day.
YOU CAN FIND THE FULL PROGRAM OF SUMMER HOLIDAY 2024 EXPERIENCES BELOW.
The summer holiday program is valid from Saturday, June 29th to Sunday, August 11th.
We are open every day throughout the summer from 10 am to 5 pm. The price is 160 DKK for adults and free for young people under 18, and this year's summer activity only costs 20 DKK once you have paid for admission.
The ticket also gives access to Gammel Estrup Denmark's Manor House Museum.
