For Children

In Central Jutland, we have loads of fun activities for families with children, whether you fancy being in the city or in the country. Go to the forest or visit a playpark to burn off some energy and create great memories together.
Ideas for children’s outings
If you need something to help them burn off some energy, then there are plenty of activities for the whole family. In the library in Herning city centre, there is a playroom for the little ones with books, slides, a bouncy castle, and much more.
For the whole family
Fun, interesting and educational for adults and children alike.
Have a look in our children’s event calendar and see if there is something that you just cannot miss. 2020 offers Disney On Ice, Onkel Reje and MGP Children’s Concert, among other events.
At the Textile Museum, both adults and children will learn about an industry that has provided people across the entire world with clothes, and has shaped Central Jutland’s identity and development.
Even the youngest of visitors can get a job in the Children’s factory; a communicative playground that teaches kids about history through play and fun.
Get a taste of what it is like to work in a textile factory. First the clothes have to be made, then moved between the different floors and finally packed into boxes ready to be shipped into the great big world.
Visit the old peat factory and discover the story of the peat industry and the heath cultivation around Bølling Sø. See the machines used for peat work and say hello to old farm breeds of horses, rabbits, geese, pigeons and hens.
100 years ago, children were actually faster in carrying out the work of “growing peat” than adults. So, child workers had an important role to play, with the fastest children growing up to 30,000 blocks of peat in a day.
Families with children can play outdoors in the large nature playground with a fantastic view of Bølling Sø.
