One of the most-visited Danish attractions, this wholesome (and pricey) amusement park
caters to holidaying families in search of distractions - of which there are plenty, from
roller coasters to kiddie-safe rides and a huge waterpark with wave pool and waterslides.
Everyone over the age of three pays the same entrance fee. Consider visiting just in the af-
ternoon, when the entry price drops to Dkr175 to Dkr200 (depending on the time of year).
Closing hours vary (from 5pm to 8.30pm); check the website to confirm opening days
and hours.
The park is on the outskirts of Blokhus, about 15km south of Løkken. Such is its pop-
ularity, frequent summer buses run here from Aalborg (bus 200), Frederikshavn (bus 77)
and Skagen (bus 99, via Hirtshals, Hjørring and Løkken).
Løkken Beach
BEACH
Go looking for your own (free) beachside fun at Løkken's lovely long strand, lined with
neat rows of white wooden beach huts and a few stout little fishing vessels (interestingly,
these 480-plus beach huts are stored inland during winter). Check out the kitesurfers tak-
ing advantage of west-coast winds (BYO gear).
