Indoor activities in Copenhagen with kids
Explore the animal houses at Copenhagen Zoo
Looking for things to do indoors in Copenhagen with children? At Copenhagen Zoo, you can explore Zoolab, the Elephant House, Tropezoo and the Arctic Ring. The Zoo is not a fully indoor attraction: you will walk outside between buildings, with plenty of places to warm up along the way.

Indoor winter activities with Zoo Guides
Meet the animals in Copenhagen Zoo's classrooms
Step inside the Zoo's classrooms, where Zoo Guides introduce you to smaller animals, including snakes, insects and mice. You can also explore a collection of animal skins and skulls.
Open on weekends and during holidays until 28 February 2027.
Up close with creepy-crawlies
Nature is full of tiny creatures, from forests and gardens to our own homes. Get a closer look at insects and larvae as our Zoo Guides show them to you and reveal how they live.
On weekends and during holidays until 28 February 2027.
Meet the house mouse at Zoolab
Get up close to the house mouse at Zoolab and discover how it survives everywhere from busy cities to farm buildings. You'll find Zoolab near the chimpanzees' outdoor enclosure.
On weekends and during holidays until 7 March 2027.
When the weather changes during your visit
Start with the area the children are most excited to explore. If it starts raining, you can change your route and head towards one of the animal houses. Along the way, take a break for something to eat or drink at one of the Zoo's cafés or food outlets.
Bring a coat and shoes suited to the weather. You'll be walking outdoors between the animal houses.
