Exciting place to visit for kids and adults with lots of exotic species in well-designed installations. Most (although not all) animals seem to have reasonable space and interesting facts are presented throughout. A bit pricy (high season ticket prices despite low season opening hours, no discounts for elderly). Detailed explanations by guide at exciting jaguar feeding (the two animals had to work for the food).

We met Henrik the owner and collector of the items on display and were impressed with the stories he shared about Elvis himself and some of the pieces in the exhibition. When you see the size of the Memphis Mansion from the outside, i was consequently expecting a much bigger and impressive exhibition than there actually was - it covers the basement level only. The other two levels are the shop/restaurant and conference/event facilities. Nicely set up to walk around, but thought there would be more content to it.
Restaurant food is expensive and nothing special. I had the first burger on the menu which was with bacon and cheese - good luck actually finding those in your burger, the restaurant tries to give you as little for your money as possible - one measly small strip of bacon in the middle and a small square of supermarket style cheese... for £15, the same as what i'd pay in London. Disappointing.

This lovely monastery was establshed sometime after 1425, and was together with Maribo the only monasteries in Denmark belonging to the Birgitt order. both munks and nuns used to live here, but on separate sides of the building. The building is much smaller today than it originally was, but it is a gem of a church that is a must visit if you are in the area, regardless of your faith. The garden area is also very lovely

Reviewed By kasperfrank - Copenhagen, Denmark
It's was an interesting place to visit to hear more about Salt how it is expanded from various places and the history of it. There is a nice museum and some interesting videos, i read earlier reviews stating that the museum was outdated, i don't agree about that, many museums are the same way as this. We also visited the bath. It was a nice visit, but don't go for the bath alone.The price is around 13 euro and that is an ok price, if you see all there is.

Reviewed By Martin K - Tromso, Norway
Nice opportunities for camping at the 2 shelters. They can house 16 persons. Eight in each
Or one could camp near Randers City Camping. (1,5 km away)
If you want to tent near the shelters or in the forrest you contact: [email protected]
Same e-mail adress is used for booking the shelters.
You also only have 250 meters to Nørre river. Part of the biggest river in Denmark.
Toilets and water available are just near "Skovhuset" - south east direction.
An attractive place during summer time...

but very ugly building, like a 70 concrete prisonbuilding. The do have a god portion of famous danish painters and a contempery exibition worth looking at. But why not move the museum to its own building and show some more art in beautiful surroundings
8. Danish Design Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By k747 - London, United Kingdom
100kr seemed pretty expensive for this underlit and tired looking museum. For being the Danish Design museum I was expecting a Moma like experience and much more exciting surroundings. The building in itself is quite nice but it's in desperate need of refurbishment. The first wing of the museum focuses on Japanese design as an inspiration for Danish art and industrial design - cue a collection of uninteresting, underlit and under documented knick knacks. The fashion and textile collection occupies the next wing and we are led to believe that it is one of the largest and finest collections of Danish and international fashion and textile design in the country. It is housed in a rather dusty and dark room and the collection is rather unattractive. I'm getting bored just describing this museum. The next wing is dedicated to Danish chair and lamp design from the 50s, a few iconic pieces mixed with others that haven't stood the test of time. In my opinion, the next and final wing is the most interesting but not enough to justify the high admission price. The collection of contemporary Danish design is delightful at times, confusing at others, but it covers a random selection of items from package design to textile design to graphic design, etc. Not a patch on the free Tate Modern London or the Moma in New York.

I pass this monument several times/week and always spend a few minutes admiring it from different angles.
A very impressive work-stallion on steroids! It represents old days when Randers had a very important Horse market.
Not a reason itself to visit Randers (many other nice things to see and do in this laid-back city) but certainly worth taking in when you stroll around.

for mig var det en meget stor oplevelse at se gamle håndværk, som de var før og i min barndom. Der er sÅ mange forskellige erhverv fra dengang at se.
Dertil kommer ildsjæle - håndværkere fra dengang, som på levende vis fortæller om, hvorfra vi kommer. Sæt mindst et par timer af til besøget.
En perle i Randers!
