In the east of Bornholm, near the town of Svaneke, is Brændesgårdshaven – a family-friendly amusement park (formerly Joboland). Rides, bouncy castles, a water park, a rowing lake and a mini zoo – an easy full-day plan with kids.
Brændesgårdshaven (formerly Joboland) is one of those places you can easily spend a whole day: fun for younger and older visitors, plenty of space, and lots of ways for kids to burn energy.
Besides rides and bouncy castles, you’ll also find swimming pools, a rowing lake and a mini zoo.
Brændesgårdshaven is a great choice for families with children. The park sits among fields in a small river valley. Opened in 1933, it has grown over time into a sizeable, family-focused entertainment area.
Today you’ll find, among other things, a water park (about 6,000 m²), a warm-water pool and slides, rides, playgrounds and animal enclosures. Besides local animals, you can also see e.g. coatis, monkeys and parrots.
If you want to keep things active, there’s a rowing lake with boats, a free climbing wall and a mini golf course. By the large outdoor stage you can relax during one of the shows.
Fun detail: some rides are powered by muscle – a small note for parents: kids spin faster when “dad really tries”.
Many Danish families spend the whole day here and bring a picnic (your own food is common). There are also fast food and ice cream stands on site. After paying the entrance fee, most attractions are included – you typically pay extra mainly at kiosks.
The park is open from May to September. Typically: May/June/September 11:00–17:00, and July/August 10:00–18:30. (Always check the current schedule on the park’s official website before you go.)
For current ticket prices, check Brændesgårdshaven’s official website.
By bike: about 3 km from Svaneke.
By bus: from Nexø, bus line 7.
