  Hjertekig is a 65-metre free fall tower and the highest in Denmark. The highly distinctive tower has changed the Aarhus skyline noticeably.

  There are two ways that you can take the ‘jump’. The daring can take the free fall from the top and reach 5G acceleration. Or you can sit and enjoy the views while descending slowly and steadily, going round the tower all the way up and down.

  If you are one of those who can't wait until the next adrenaline kick, then the Sky Tower at the Tivoli Friheden amusement park is exactly what you have been waiting for. This is certainly not for the faint-hearted. This is only for those with nerves of steel who are literally not afraid to leap into wild adventures.

  Standing 40 meters above the ground, overlooking all of Aarhus, it is only the toughest of the tough who dare take the leap. Before you awaits the maddest free fall, where you reach a speed of up to 90 kilometres per hour before landing in the net. Only one question remains: Do you dare?

  'Himmelrum'

  Get ready to spin and twirl if you want to try the new amusement 'Himmelrum'. The amusement allows you to defy gravity and forget time as it makes you feel alive! 

  For the youngest one

  Bille By (the city Bille) is an entire town for families with young children. Here you can take you very own driving license if you are between 5 and 8 years old and drive around in small electric cars. You can also take a breathtaking ride with "Bisværmen" which turns and twirls or try the ever-jumping Grasshopper. It is a blasts for the youngest ones!

  More attractions
