We all know that kids love going to the circus. There’s nothing more exciting than watching all of those masterful jugglers and acrobats performing.
Or so we thought, until the Circus Museum in Hvidovre came up with the idea of giving them the chance to step into their shoes.
Every Sunday, the museum runs its very own circus school.
Your kids can try out everything from juggling to tight-rope walking.
This is an extra activity you can add to your visit to the museum, which gives a good overview of what goes on behind the scenes at the circus. (YN)

Inside the stamp

An exhibition that helps your kids to learn how communication worked before the internet arrived whilst playing.
Children have their own special zone where stamps come alive in the 3D world created by the museum.
Over 100 Danish stamps have been produced in a huge format, which gives the little visitors a chance to properly navigate through them.
For example, they can get into the Round Tower stamp or jump on a boat that has just sailed out of the stamp.
If that sounds intriguing, maybe you should also visit Inside the Stamp with your kids and check it out. (YH)
