What are Tivoli's opening hours today?

See the day’s opening hours on tivoli.dk. The only daily times published here are for Halloween 2026: Sunday - Thursday 11 am - 10 pm and Friday - Saturday 11 am - 11 pm according to juicynet.dk.

Tivoli’s daily opening hours change with the season, day of the week and events, and the official opening-hours page could not be accessed when this guide was written. For this reason, no times for summer and Christmas are listed here. The reliable source is the calendar on tivoli.dk, which shows the opening hours for each individual day.

For Halloween 2026, juicynet.dk has published the times: Sunday to Thursday from 11 am to 10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 11 pm. Also note that rides may close with short notice for technical inspections, regardless of the opening hours. In July 2026, several major rides were out of service for one day according to TV2 Kosmopol.

Does Tivoli close in September?

Yes. The 2026 summer season ended on 20 September, and the garden is closed until the Halloween season opens on 2 October. In 2027, summer ends on 26 September.

Tivoli has two fixed closing periods. The first is between summer and Halloween, from late September to early October. The second and longest is after Christmas: from early January to March the garden is closed. In 2026 the summer season opened on 27 March, and in 2027 the year starts with an Easter season from 19 March.

There is also a short break in November between Halloween and Christmas: Halloween ends on 1 November, and the Christmas season opens on 13 November. If you are planning a trip to Copenhagen during one of these periods, choose other experiences, for example a bike tour past the city’s highlights, which passes Tivoli from the outside.

Read more in the guide to Christmas in Tivoli.

What is the best time of day to visit Tivoli?

Feel free to arrive at opening time if you want to go on many rides, and stay until the evening for the lights. Queues are often shorter early on, but this can vary from day to day.

There is no guarantee of short queues, but many find that the first hours after opening are quieter at the major rides than in the afternoon. If you have a ticket with entrance and Ride Pass, you get the most out of it by starting early. Weekdays outside school holidays can also be quieter than weekends.

• Morning and late morning: a good time for rides, before the garden fills up.
• Evening: the lights over the lake and the paths are a big part of Tivoli’s atmosphere; in summer they come on late, in winter early.
• Re-entry: you get a stamp at the exit by Tivoli Food Hall, so you can take a break outside the garden, except during major events.

What is Friday Rock in Tivoli?

Friday Rock is concerts on Fridays during the summer season. After 17:30, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged at least 25.

In summer, Tivoli hosts Friday Rock, so Fridays are busy in the evening. Special rules apply: according to tivoli.dk, after 17:30 children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 25 or over, and one adult can bring up to four children. The programme for each Friday is on tivoli.dk.

You may bring your own non-alcoholic drinks in reusable bottles, but for major events like Friday Rock the bottles must be empty at the entrance. Re-entry stamps are also not given during major events. If you are bringing children, read the guide to Tivoli with children.
