Children's Autumn Vacation on the Northwest Coast

During the autumn holidays, Fårup Sommerland is transformed into a colourful autumn forest for the Harvest Festival. Look forward to a cosy atmosphere with snobrød (bread on a stick), games and fun in the golden colours of autumn – and when darkness falls, the forest is lit up by thousands of lights and lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere.

When the wind is blowing outside, it's a great time to explore beneath the surface. During the autumn holidays, the North Sea Oceanarium takes you into the violent and fascinating world of the sea – storms, shipwrecks and cool sea creatures. Children can feed seals, crawl through underwater tunnels and learn through play – while you enjoy watching them being gripped by curiosity.

Autumn dresses the North Sea in windy drama, and in the middle of it all lies the Jutland Aquarium, a warm base for curious children. With the wind in your hair and your binoculars trained on the horizon, you can set sail on a voyage of discovery and greet the seals or dolphins of the Limfjord. The seals lie dozing on the sandbanks, and the children gasp when they suddenly dive and reappear.

Back on land, you can feed fish and cuddle crabs in the open pools – autumn is alive here!

When energy levels are running high, Action House is the place to let the children loose. You can compete in bowling, race around in go-karts, battle it out in laser tag or unleash your inner child in the 1,100 m² play area – there's something for both teenagers and toddlers here. Perfect for those days when you need to get moving and get active.

An autumn break at Skallerup Seaside Resort is like a giant playground for the whole family. You can start the day in the warm bubbles of the water park, feed goats in the mini zoo, play in the playground or go for a walk on the beach and find the most beautiful seashells. Here, holidays are all about being together – and for adults, that means a holiday without hearing ‘I'm bored’.

When Blokhus holds its autumn festival, it's like stepping into a living autumn calendar. Everywhere you look, there are pumpkins of all sizes, lanterns lighting up the streets, and small stalls selling seasonal delicacies. Children can carve their own pumpkin lanterns, go on treasure hunts, and perhaps taste their first homemade apple juice.

Slettestrand Holiday Centre is designed for active families. There are mountain bike trails through the autumn forest, technical tracks where you can practise your balance, and nature playgrounds that are almost harder to get the children away from than the screens at home. When you return after a day in the saddle, with mud splattered on your cheeks and laughter in your stomach, it is pure bliss.

At the Strandingsmuseum, you can experience the dramatic story of the frigate St. George, which sank off Thorsminde in 1811. The museum tells the story through original wreckage, cannons and interactive experiences, where children can try their hand at steering a ship in stormy weather. It's excitement and history in one.

A living open-air museum where you can step back in time to a period when life moved at a slower pace. During the autumn holidays, the smell of firewood and freshly baked bread fills the air, and you can see the village residents working at the smithy, in the bakery and in the fields when Hjerl Hede comes to life. Children can bake pancakes over an open fire or help feed the animals.

In the heart of nature, you will find SMK Thy – a place where art and landscape merge. At the reopened SMK Thy, children can explore colours, shapes and stories, while adults get a moment to reflect.

The autumn holidays offer special workshops where the whole family can create small works of art inspired by the beauty of the season.

At North Shore Surf, the whole family can enjoy a fun day in the water. The shallow sandbanks at Løkken Mole make it safe and easy for children (and parents!) to try their hand at surfing, always with skilled instructors close by. All equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is your good humour.
