Local tips

Aim for morning or late-afternoon sessions outside Danish school holidays if you prefer fewer crowds and shorter waits around the most popular trampolines and bumper cars.
Dress everyone in light, flexible clothing and grippy socks; temperatures indoors can feel warm once you start jumping, climbing and running between zones.
Bring a small backpack with water bottles and snacks or a packed lunch, as Baboon City has relaxed rules on outside food alongside its own café options.
Set a clear meeting point and time with older children before they scatter; the halls are large and busy, and this makes regrouping much easier.
If you plan to use the padel courts, book your slot in advance and pack indoor sports shoes, as padel uses a separate area and can be popular in the evenings.

Getting There

Car from central Herning

Driving from central Herning to Baboon City typically takes 5–10 minutes, as the amusement center sits a short distance south of town near Åkirkebyvej 10. The route uses standard city and approach roads suitable for all vehicles. On-site parking is usually free and directly adjacent to the buildings, but spaces can fill during weekends and Danish school holidays, so allow extra time on busy days.
City bus within Herning

Local buses in Herning connect the town center with the southern districts around Åkirkebyvej, with journey times in the range of 10–20 minutes depending on the stop and timetable. Standard single tickets in the local zone are typically around 20–30 DKK when bought from machines or via apps, with children’s fares lower. Services may run less frequently in the evenings and on Sundays, so check departure times in advance and plan for a short walk from the nearest bus stop to the entrance.
Taxi from Herning Station

From Herning railway station, a taxi ride to Baboon City usually takes about 7–12 minutes, depending on traffic. Daytime fares for a trip of this length in Denmark commonly fall in the 120–180 DKK range, with potential surcharges in late evening or on holidays. Taxis provide the most convenient option for families with small children, pushchairs or lots of gear, and they drop passengers close to the main entrance for step-free access.
Cycling from nearby neighborhoods

For visitors staying in Herning’s residential districts, cycling to Baboon City can be an appealing option in dry weather, with typical journey times of 10–25 minutes from most central areas. The terrain around Herning is generally flat and many roads feature cycle lanes or wide shoulders. Be prepared for wind, common in this part of Jutland, and remember that winter conditions or heavy rain can make cycling less comfortable, especially with younger children.

Indoor playground on a grand Danish scale

Baboon City bills itself as one of Denmark’s biggest year‑round indoor amusement centers, and it feels like it. Spread across large warehouse-style halls on the edge of Herning, it packs in more than 200 interactive activities under one roof. The atmosphere is simple and practical rather than glossy theme-park glamour, but the focus is firmly on movement, noise and laughter. The industrial shell hides a colourful world of soft-play towers, trampolines, obstacle runs and game zones. Lighting is bright, ceilings are high and the soundscape is a constant mix of bouncing, cheering and the electronic chirps of arcade machines. It is the kind of place where families disappear for an afternoon and emerge pleasantly tired.

From trampolines to bumper cars and mini golf

The core of Baboon City is its kinetic play. A large trampoline zone lets you bounce across interconnected mats, some climbing up the walls for gravity-defying tricks. Nearby, bouncy castles and ball pits cater to younger children who want the thrill of jumping without the big-kid energy. Mechanical fun comes in the form of bumper cars, mini electric cars and moon-cars that loop around a track, along with a rodeo pig or bull for those who like a comic challenge. An 18‑hole mini golf course threads through the halls, offering a slower, more competitive diversion. Multi-sport courts host casual games of basketball, football and hockey, turning the whole center into a giant indoor playground that leans heavily on physical activity rather than passive rides.

Classic arcade culture and digital distractions

Beyond the physical play, Baboon City leans into retro gaming culture. Rows of classic arcade and slot-style machines, many echoing the late 20th‑century era, line parts of the hall. Unlike traditional arcades where each play costs a coin, here the entry fee typically covers free play on many of the machines, inviting long, nostalgic sessions. There are also racing simulators, video games and a small stage area used for karaoke or dance competitions. This mix of old-school cabinets and newer gaming setups makes it easy for teens and adults to get just as absorbed as the children, especially on days when running and jumping have taken their toll.

Spaces for toddlers, parents and parties

Families with very young children are not forgotten. A dedicated toddler playland offers smaller slides, soft blocks and low climbing frames where little ones can explore at their own pace, away from the rough-and-tumble of the main areas. Flooring throughout is generally soft or padded, with plenty of nets, rails and barriers to keep the chaos safe. Party zones and long tables are set aside for birthdays, school outings and club events. These areas function as a home base where groups can refuel, cut a cake or simply sit together between play sessions. The layout makes it relatively easy for adults to keep a loose eye on older kids while enjoying a coffee.

Café, food policy and practical comforts

A casual café serves simple, family-friendly staples such as hot snacks, fries, ice creams and drinks. Baboon City also has a flexible food policy: it has historically allowed guests to bring their own packed lunches, making longer visits more affordable for larger families and groups. Seating areas and a small sun terrace offer a break from the indoor buzz when weather cooperates. Amenities such as restrooms, changing facilities and basic information boards are positioned around the complex. The flat, indoor layout suits prams and many wheelchairs, though some play structures themselves are naturally more physical. With fixed session times and defined opening hours, visits tend to have a natural rhythm, and many families plan on spending three to four hours inside.

All-weather fun in mid-Jutland

Located in Herning, Baboon City serves as a reliable fallback when the skies over Jutland turn grey. Being entirely indoors, it works year-round and in almost any weather. On bright days, a small outdoor zone with sandpit, swings and a bouncy castle extends the experience into the fresh air. For travellers basing themselves in Herning or exploring central Jutland by car, it fits neatly into a day that might otherwise include museums, parks or shopping. More than anything, though, Baboon City is about burning energy: a place where children charge from one attraction to the next while accompanying adults decide how much they want to join in versus supervise from the sidelines.
