• No strollers inside the castle, so park it where staff direct and bring a baby carrier for nap time
• Green dressers mark play stations, where kids chat with a talking parrot, fire an air cannon and try Queen Sophie's embroidery
• Packed lunches welcome in The Old Kitchens, and Café Sundtolden by the shop sells snacks and hot and cold drinks

Kronborg is the castle where Shakespeare set Hamlet, a UNESCO World Heritage fortress of towers, ramparts and moats on the Øresund strait.

Inside, kids can sprint the length of the ballroom (the largest in the Nordic countries), lie on a royal four-poster bed, stir pots in the old kitchen and build a dream castle in LEGO. Down in the dim casemates, they meet Holger the Dane.
