Scandinavia's Premier Amusement Destination

Djurs Sommerland stands as the Nordic region's largest amusement park, sprawling across a vast landscape in Nimtofte with over 60 attractions distributed across nine imaginatively themed lands. The park has earned the distinction of Theme Park of the Year in Denmark for six consecutive years (2019–2024), a testament to its commitment to world-class entertainment and family-friendly experiences. Once you pay admission, all rides and attractions are included at no additional cost, making it an exceptional value for a full day of adventure.

Thrilling Rides and Record-Breaking Attractions

The park's roller coaster collection represents some of Europe's most impressive engineering achievements. El Grito, which won the prestigious Park World Excellence Award for Best New Ride in Europe in 2024, is a 60-meter drop tower delivering a freefall experience at 100 kilometers per hour—double the height of the park's other major coasters. Juvelen, Denmark's longest roller coaster, winds through the exotic Mexicoland themed area, while Piraten and DrageKongen rank among Denmark's most formidable rides. The T-Rex Family Coaster in Dinosaurland offers a gentler but equally thrilling 400-meter journey past life-size dinosaur sculptures, making it accessible to younger riders.

Immersive Themed Environments

The nine themed lands transport visitors across imaginative worlds. Dinosaurland features 25 full-size dinosaur sculptures and six family-oriented attractions, including the Dino Xpedition jeep safari through winding mines and dense forests. Mexicoland combines jungle exploration with the park's most intense thrill rides. Each themed area is meticulously designed with landscaping, architecture, and storytelling elements that create distinct atmospheric zones throughout the park, encouraging exploration and discovery.

Aqua Park and Seasonal Water Adventures

The expansive Aqua Park operates during the warmer months (late May through mid-August), offering water-based attractions and relief from summer heat. The water park is included with standard admission, providing a refreshing complement to the dry-land attractions. During Easter and peak summer season, the water park becomes a central gathering point for families seeking respite between rides.

Seasonal Events and Extended Experiences

Beyond the regular season, Djurs Sommerland hosts special events that transform the park's character. Magisk Halloween (Magical Halloween) runs in October, featuring 40,000 pumpkins, skeleton decorations, and two dedicated haunted houses: HekseSkolen (Witch School) for families and GræskarFabrikken (Pumpkin Factory) for those seeking genuine scares. Djurs Sommerland After Dark offers evening thrills during the same period. These seasonal events extend the park's appeal beyond summer and attract visitors seeking themed entertainment experiences.

Facilities and Visitor Amenities

The park provides extensive facilities designed for all-day visits. Free barbecue grills in designated areas allow families to prepare their own meals, with grills lit from noon until one hour before closing. Alternatively, visitors can purchase barbecue packages online in advance. Multiple restaurants and food vendors throughout the park offer burgers, wraps, salads, and buffet options. Cart and trolley rentals are available for families with young children or those with mobility considerations. The park encourages visitors to bring their own food and drinks, supporting budget-conscious families planning extended stays.
