Awesome Ice Skating in Frederiksberg

That's right there is a rink in Frederiksberg so get up, put your boots on, and take the kids down there. It appears to be open 24/7 if you have your own skates but never fear there are a bunch of friendly people who speak English and rent skates from 11-19 on weekdays and 11-19 on Saturdays and I am not sure of the Sunday hours but I think it is 12-19. The rentals are 45 DKK a pair and you just need to leave an ID card until you return the skates. It is fun, even Mom RELUCTANTLY went. You can also rent these awesome penguins for the kids that don't know how to skate well or at all, they are 50 DKK for each 1/2 hour and they are heavy and solid have little handles that they hold onto as they push them around. When my kids were little they would use chairs to push around the rink, these are much cuter.

Just take the Metro to the Frederiksberg stop, go up the escalator towards the Mall entrance but go out to the street instead. Walk out to Falkoner's Alle and turn right (N I think with my girl brain, so I could be wrong). Walk down (here are girl directions - towards the McDonalds) and in about two blocks it will turn into Allegade. You will walk through a park across from a row of nice restaurants and then you will see it on your right. Remember they only take CASH. I have heard that there is another one in Svanemøllen by the train station but I couldn't find it.

We brought a small lunch bag with PB&J sandwiches, snacks, water and juice but there is a snack bar. They have pølsehornes (the little pigs in the blanket hot dogs), chocolate croissants, and a couple of other snacks. They also have beer, coffee, Chai, cold drinks and hot chocolate for the usual 25-35 DKK: If you have a picky eater DON'T buy the hot chocolate. Word of warning, neither of my kids liked it. It was a dark chocolate tasting more bitter brew :( There is also a Pølservagn (Hot Dog Wagon) across the street for a fun, inexpensive lunch. Of course, after we bought three of the 25 DKK hot chocolates I saw that the hot dog wagon had hot chocolate advertised for 13 DKK so if someone tries it let me know if it is good? There are also a bunch of restaurants and bakeries on your way back to the Metro if you want to stop for lunch.

Keep your eyes open on your way there and you will see a really cool brick tower on your right with what looks like an observation platform on top. The bottom was a Bar and I walked in but couldn't figure out if there was a way to go up to see. It's pretty cool looking so if anyone finds a way up, let us know!
