Tucked away on the gentle southern slopes of Zealand, BonBon-Land is a candy-colored whirlwind of humour, absurdity, and uniquely Danish family fun. Born from the imaginative mind behind Denmark’s BonBon candies, the park began as a tribute to its creator’s irreverent confectionery empire. Over the past three decades, it has evolved into a fantastical escape where playfulness reigns supreme and nothing (not even the name of a ride) is taken too seriously. Wander through BonBon-Land and you’ll encounter rides with names designed to make kids giggle and adults do a double-take—from the notorious Dog Fart Coaster to hilarious spinning teacups and cheeky bumper cars. The park’s colourful mascots and oversized candy sculptures turn every corner into a new photo opportunity. Thrills range from kid-friendly splash zones to white-knuckle rollercoasters, and there’s a sense of organized chaos that keeps the experience fresh. Families picnic on the surrounding lawns or try their luck at carnival-style games peppered throughout the grounds. BonBon-Land sits close to scenic lakes and woodland, providing a relaxed backdrop for a day of antic adventure. Unlike larger, glossier parks, BonBon-Land’s appeal is its cheerful lack of pretension—kids of all ages are free to clamber, run, and laugh without rigid structure. Facilities include plenty of food options, indoor play for rainy days, and even pet-friendly areas. Open from spring until late summer, it remains a deeply local institution; busy on weekends and public holidays, but just as welcoming to wide-eyed international visitors. For families seeking both amusement and authenticity, BonBon-Land offers an irresistibly playful detour in the heart of South Zealand.
