Although it costs £5 a pop we went here very night of our stay in Copenhagen.
Location: Very central, just around the corner from the train station or straight across from the town square. Or behind Madame Tussauds.
Entry: from 9am til 11pm, £5 (not sure about childrens ticket)
Facilities: Throughout Tivoli there are exits, toilets, food stalls, restuarants, seating - I really can't fault it.
What is it ? This is an old style outdoor pleasure park, like you have never experienced before. When you first go in there are lots of restuarants and coffee houses which are reasonably priced and serve decent meals. Then you notice the first band stand where different music is performed each evening from early til late. As you walk further down there are beautiful gardens and a taj mahal copy restaurant (looks good not cheap) then you come across the main stage. Each night a veriety of singers, magicians and acrobats perform here and you can sit in one the cafes sipping a hot chocolate while being entertained.
Next up are the stalls of fairground games - the vendors do not tout at all - which I won at loads of times ranging from keyrings to big fluffy toys. quite cheap too (about 10p ago). There are also danish hot dog stands - try one they're great and cheap- and drinks, candy floss etc.
There are some viking buildings and games shortly after followed by the fairground 'proper' which has the usual assortment of rides like the sony ride (shoots you up in tha air), big wheels, dodgems etc....
The peice de resistance follows with the rivers and gardens, all lit up at night and with fish food so you can feed the carp - it is stunning and a very romantic place if you;re with your other half.
Who goes there ? In short - everyone ! We watched business men walk around sucking lollipop and doing deals, granny and grandads holding hands, kiddies running around pointing everything out while mums and dads sat down with a coffee, young couples walked around the gardens. There is a great mixture of tourists and locals which really make you feel part of copenhagen life.

Thought you could have added a little more detail - especially the fireworks. Janet
