Hans Christian Andersen Experience — Attraction in Copenhagen Municipality

There's a small section providing details about the life of Hans Christian Anderson but the majority of this museum is dedicated to retellings of his most famous stories with some animatronics to act out parts of the story. The stories are roughly 3 minutes each and there is nowhere to sit and listen to them. There are roughly 10 of these stories. I can't imagine many children (or adults) having the patience to stand and listen to each story in it's entirety. Also if the group of people in front of you have selected to listen to the story in a language you don't understand (they play in English, Danish and German) you'll have to wait even longer. I noticed a few parties of people simply walking straight through, spending no more than about ten minutes here.

Good for children who enjoy listening to stories, but definitely not a 'must-see'...

A showcase of Andersen's most famous and popular fairy tales, using animatronics / shows. The setup sounds promising, the result was extremely dissapointing... Entry fee was rather expensive for such a small exhibition and most of the stories were either in (very) bad condition or not really worth it. Most (nearly all) stories are in Danish, which would be (somewhat) fine if it were for the English story cards, unfortunately these were missing most of the times...

All in all a dissapointing experience, could be ok with small kids, however lack of English language will not make it better for them... I suggest spending your hard earned holiday...

Oh my gosh don't go here. It is awful. As soon as we saw it was part of a 'Ripleys Believe it or Not' we should have known to walk away. We decided to give it the benefit of the doubt but during the walk through the museum I found more out about London than I did about Hans Christian Anderson. Did you know during his lifetime billiards became popular in London? I didn't before but now I do!

You will learn very little about Hans Christian Andersons life here but you will have the opportunity to read all of his fairytales should you wish to. They have little scenes where the stories can be read to you but some of them stop halfway through which...
