Local tips
- Plan at least an hour so children can explore multiple themed sections, try toys and spend time in the LEGO area without feeling rushed.
- Look out for the small toy museum section; it is easy to miss but adds a nostalgic extra layer that adults often enjoy as much as children.
- Ask at the counter about current events or the Horsens treasure hunt; maps and activities are not always immediately visible from the entrance.
- Combine your visit with a snack break in Bytorv Horsens so younger children can recharge between browsing, building and exploring.
- If you are gift shopping, use the hands-on areas to see what genuinely captivates the child before choosing a present from the full shelves.

A toy universe in the middle of Horsens
KiDS Coolshop Horsens is far more than a conventional toy shop. Occupying a sprawling floor of Bytorv Horsens mall, it feels like stepping into a dedicated world built entirely around children’s curiosity and play. Wide aisles, bright colours and themed islands of toys radiate from a central circular “roundabout”, so even first-time visitors quickly sense that browsing here is part playground, part discovery trail. The store mixes retail shelves with open displays that invite you to touch, test and tinker. Boxes are not just stacked high; many toys are out where small hands can reach them. The result is a rare balance between a serious selection for gift hunters and a relaxed, playful atmosphere where time easily slips away.Themed worlds from dinosaurs to distant galaxies
One of the distinctive features of KiDS Coolshop Horsens is its series of themed universes, each designed around a different flavour of play. Dino World surrounds you with prehistoric creatures and adventure toys, with a towering tyrannosaurus as a playful mascot that quickly becomes a family photo favourite. Nearby, the Space & Race zone bursts with vehicles, action figures and space-themed sets, ideal for children who like speed, rockets and elaborate storylines. Another corner focuses on Girl Power, full of glittering accessories, dolls, craft kits and princess-inspired toys, though anyone is welcome to explore its pastel-hued shelves. The store also dedicates generous floor space to a large LEGO section, where the variety spans simple starter sets to advanced builds, making it easy to find something for every age and skill level. This layout encourages families to wander from theme to theme, discovering new interests as they go.Playful extras: library nook and toy nostalgia
Beyond toys and games, KiDS Coolshop Horsens weaves in quieter corners that offer a change of pace. A children’s library area brings together picture books, school bags and reading accessories, creating a cosy nook where kids can flip through stories while adults compare backpacks or plan future gifts. It softens the sensory buzz of the main floor, ideal for a short breather during a longer visit. Another highlight is the small toy museum, often referred to as Peter’s toy collection. Here, shelves display playthings from previous decades: tin toys, classic dolls, retro games and early action figures. Adults recognise items from their own childhood, while children get a glimpse of how playtime looked long before screens and digital gadgets. It adds an unexpectedly reflective layer to a modern toy store, connecting generations through shared memories of play.Events, treasure hunts and interactive fun
The store regularly hosts activities that turn a visit into an event in itself. Seasonal happenings, themed days and small in-store competitions appear throughout the year, often centred on new toy launches or school holidays. A popular feature is the Horsens treasure hunt, where children pick up a map at the counter, follow clues around town and return for a small reward. It links the shop with the broader city, encouraging families to explore Horsens beyond the mall. Inside the store, simple interactive elements keep younger visitors engaged even if no special event is scheduled. Demonstration tables, sample toys and occasional building stations encourage hands-on play. Parents can use these zones to gauge what genuinely captures their children’s imagination before deciding what to bring home, making the shopping experience more deliberate and fun.Practical comfort in a family-focused setting
As part of Bytorv Horsens, KiDS Coolshop benefits from the mall’s practical infrastructure. Being indoors ensures a weatherproof outing, particularly useful on cold or rainy Danish days. Seating in the mall corridors, nearby food options and access to restrooms make it easy to turn a quick stop into a relaxed family break. The toy store itself is laid out with prams and small children in mind, with broad walkways and clear sightlines so adults can keep track of excited youngsters. Staff are used to families spending time here and are on hand to help navigate age ranges, safety labels and recommendations. With daily opening hours and a central location in Horsens, KiDS Coolshop functions both as a convenient place to grab a last-minute gift and as a destination for a dedicated afternoon of play-focused browsing.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
