What is Tivoli Gardens?

Tivoli Gardens is one of the world’s oldest and most enchanting amusement parks, located in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. Opened in 1843, Tivoli combines a traditional fairground with modern rides, live shows and beautifully landscaped gardens.

It’s widely reported that Walt Disney visited Tivoli and drew inspiration from its fairy-tale atmosphere when creating Disneyland.

Halloween at Tivoli Gardens

Each October Tivoli transforms into a Halloween wonderland - think glowing pumpkins, themed decorations, spooky performances and family-friendly frights.

The park is perfect for children and adults who want seasonal fun without anything too scary. Rides, food stalls and the evening lights make Tivoli especially atmospheric as the nights draw in.

This year Tivoli Gardens celebrates the Halloween season from 10th October to 2nd November.
