FunHouse Frederikshavn

Indoor energy-burner by the harbor

FunHouse Frederikshavn sits close to the waterfront in the northern Danish port town, offering a welcome escape on blustery or rainy days. Behind an unassuming exterior you step straight into a brightly coloured, 1,500 m² indoor universe designed around one simple idea: let kids run wild in a safe, padded environment while the grown-ups exhale for a moment. High ceilings, echoing laughter and the rhythmic thud of small feet bouncing on soft surfaces create a constant background soundtrack. The space is broadly open-plan, with clear sightlines that make it easy to keep an eye on children from multiple angles. Floors are rubberized or cushioned, and the play structures are wrapped in netting and padding, adding to the reassuringly low-stress feel for supervising adults.

Slides, trampolines and multilevel soft-play

At the heart of FunHouse is a multi-storey soft-play structure that coils upward in a maze of tunnels, ramps, rope climbs and lookout platforms. Children clamber up through nets, shoot down wide slides, and tumble into ball pits that crackle with static and giggles. Different segments are tuned to different ages, from easier climbs and gentle slopes for smaller children to more challenging routes for confident explorers. Ringed around the main structure are trampolines, mini rides and various non-prize arcade-style machines. Once the entrance fee is paid, these activities are included, so kids can move freely between them without constant decisions about extra spending. The combination of vertical play towers, bouncing zones and crawl-through passages means most children can easily stay engaged for several hours.

Spaces for the very young

Families visiting with toddlers and preschoolers find dedicated areas scaled to shorter legs and developing balance. These corners often feature soft blocks, low slides, gentle rocking toys and plenty of open padded space for wobbling runs. Barriers and clear boundaries separate the smallest children from the more boisterous older crowd, keeping the atmosphere playful rather than overwhelming. For parents of mixed-age siblings, this zoning is particularly useful. Smaller children can explore more calmly while older brothers and sisters disappear into the bigger play frame, yet everyone remains within the same overall hall. It turns the visit into a shared family outing without forcing everyone into the same activity level.

Relaxed café corners and bring-your-own food

Instead of a full restaurant, FunHouse keeps things simple: it focuses on drinks, sweets and light kiosk-style refreshments, and explicitly welcomes visitors to bring their own food. This policy gives families maximum flexibility, from picnic-style lunches unpacked at tables to quick snack breaks between play sessions. Seating areas are spread around the play floor so adults can sit with a coffee while still maintaining visual contact. The atmosphere is informal, with jackets slung over chairs, strollers tucked under tables and piles of socks by the edges of play zones. It feels less like a theme park and more like a giant, communal living room for active kids.

Linked to seaside camping and holiday stays

FunHouse Frederikshavn has close ties to the nearby Nordstrand Camping area, making it a natural add-on to family stays along the town’s beachy northern fringe. For camping guests, the indoor playland becomes a reliable backup plan when North Jutland’s weather turns unpredictable, or simply a reward after a day on the sand. Even for day visitors, its setting in a compact coastal town means it can be part of a broader outing that might also include a walk along the harborfront or a stop at the nearby beaches during warmer months. As an all-weather anchor in a seaside destination, FunHouse neatly bridges outdoor adventure and indoor comfort.
