The castle is an expansive destination offering a multitude of attractions within its vast area. As you enter, you are greeted by a sizable playground, a true haven for children with its diverse range of entertainment options. The presence of fast food options is convenient for quick bites, and there is also a restaurant available, although the food falls short of expectations. For automobile enthusiasts, the castle houses several museums showcasing retro vintage cars, motorcycles, and carriages, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The presence of numerous lawns throughout the castle grounds offers ample space for picnics, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The castle itself is undeniably beautiful, but it is disappointing that visitors can only explore a small portion of it. The inability to see the entirety of such a magnificent structure can be frustrating for those seeking a complete experience. Nonetheless, the surrounding landscape is stunning, adding to the overall allure of the castle. Despite its flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The ticket prices may be on the higher side, but the castle compensates by offering a variety of activities and attractions to keep visitors engaged and entertained. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or someone looking for family-friendly fun, this castle has something to offer for everyone

This is such an impressive property. I went there with the intent of visiting the castle and the gardens and was pleasantly surprised with so much more. The castle loft presents a rare opportunity to visit a piece of a castle that I was rarely given and inside you will also be able to view an impressive collection of vintage toys. Out of the castle and into the adjacent buildings we are presented with a collection of old bicycles, tricycles, mopeds, motorcycles, planes and even an helicopter. On top of that there is a considerable collection of classic cars including a Ford T-Bird, a Ferrari 308 and a DeLorean. To top it off there are also themed exhibitions dedicated to Firefighters including multiple emergency vehicles, one dedicated to Camping. also with various vehicles and a huge attic with a large collection of old cars and car parts begging to be restored. In summary, the visit is definitely worth it and make sure you save the whole day because there is plenty to see at Egeskov.

Egeskov Castle is a captivating destination that truly transports visitors back in time. The castle, surrounded by a picturesque moat and lush gardens, is one of Europe's best-preserved Renaissance water castles.One of the highlights of my visit was the castle's impressive collection of historical vehicles, including vintage cars and motorcycles. The gardens at Egeskov are equally spectacular, offering a peaceful escape with their beautifully manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, and charming hedgerow maze. I especially enjoyed walking through the Tree Top Walk, which provided stunning views of the surrounding landscape from above. It's a must-see for nature lovers and photographers alike! In summary, Egeskov Castle is a must-visit gem that combines history, beauty, and a touch of magic. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a garden lover, or simply looking for a memorable day out, this castle has something for everyone. I highly recommend a visit to Egeskov Castle.

3 weeks ago, My wife and I drove from Copenhagen out to the south of the island Funen, to this castle to explore a little more of Denmark ... and it was so worth it! It was a very slow day with only about 20 other visitors on the property, at times we felt like we were the only ones there. I encourage you to take at least 2 hours and visit this property. The castle itself doesn't take very long to see inside. The grounds are beautiful. Don't neglect to go to the end of the gardens through the trees to where the specialty flower gardens are located ... the are amazing. They are amazing because of the hundreds of varieties of Dahlia and Fuchsia, that have continued for generations. If you are into old cars and motorcycles, you MUST see these collections in the big showcase building ... WOW! Have fun and enjoy the history and stop to smell the flowers!

Outrageously expensive. It’s not possible to get good value here for the entry price. The castle itself is a fairly unremarkable large brick house filled with a rich family’s old junk. There are a couple of leaf-littered gardens which aren’t really worth the walk. The only saving grace was the exhibitions, which were actually quite interesting. However, there are better examples of some of the vehicles on show available elsewhere in Denmark, so the collection is not particularly special in its own right. If you have kids, there seems to be a lot of play areas and activities for them, so you might find it a better day out. But for the price of 265 DKK per person as an adult, you will not leave satisfied.

Must see place while in Denmark! Stunning castle on the water with a spacefull grounds and activities for all ages! Huge playgrounds for kids all ages, there is something for everyone. Cute pink car looking like carriage running around. So you can take a ride if you pay extra or take picture a free picture. Restaurant and few snack stands are available. Free riding bikes on the track for kids. Funny warning sign by the bridge, don't miss it. 😉 Benches are all over to your service and having a picnic on the grass is welcome as well. I recommend to visit website ahead of time and see if they have a special event for the day you going to visit castle. They have a lot of cool events throughout the year.
