6 Reasons to Take Your Kids to Copenhagen

By Chris Pavone, author of The Accident



When our kids were preschoolers, my family lived in Europe for a year and a half and traveled regularly—weekends in Paris, short-term apartments in Barcelona and Rome, skiing in the Alps, driving across Bavaria. Of all the places we visited, Copenhagen stands out as my favorite destination for kids. Here's why:

Tivoli Gardens: Opened in 1843, this is the second-oldest amusement park in the world (the oldest is also in Denmark, in nearby Klampenborg), and Tivoli was Walt Disney's inspiration for Disneyland. Unlike American amusement parks that are plunked down in suburban tracts and buffered by chain restaurants and parking lots, Tivoli's flower-filled, 20-plus acres are in the heart of downtown Copenhagen. The park is packed with great restaurants (even a couple with Michelin stars), beautiful architecture, and a remarkable attention to charming detail. This is the original Magic Kingdom.

The people: Perhaps it's different during the bleak, long Scandinavian winter, but when we were in Denmark in late spring, the entire population seemed to be smiling and saying hello. We received a warm welcoming embrace everywhere we went, which is not what you necessarily expect (or deserve?) when traveling with little kids. I can't overemphasize the transformative power of all the genuine smiles.

Hans Christian Andersen: The author of The Ugly Duckling and The Little Mermaid lived here for most of his life, and visiting Copenhagen is a great opportunity to revisit Andersen's many wonderful fairy tales. Plus, there's the statue of the Little Mermaid herself, beckoning from the bay.

Children’s clothing: The Danes are stylish about absolutely everything, and kids' clothing is no exception. You'll find the best selection in the colorful, creative boutiques that crowd the streets surrounding Strøget, which is known as Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street.



Scenic outdoor spaces: Copenhagen is home to a great zoo, charming playgrounds in beautiful parks, and an abundance of waterfront space, making for an environment so perfect that even a queen lives here.

Legoland: The original can be found in a town called Billund, where the brilliant bricks were invented. It's not exactly close—a five-hour round trip—but that includes some pretty great scenery as you drive across basically half of Denmark. And when we arrived, the kids looked around in awe. "This," one of them said, eyes wide, "this is the place for me!" He was completely right.

Chris Pavone's novel The Expats was a New York Times, USA Today, and international bestseller, and winner of Edgar and Anthony awards for best first novel. Chris grew up in Brooklyn, graduated from Cornell, and was a book editor for nearly two decades, as well as an expat in Luxembourg, but now lives again in New York City with his wife and children. The Accident is his second novel.

Insider's Guide to Balboa Island, California



fuck hot girl cute in asshole


When you're headed to Balboa Island, there's only one way to get there: the ferry. David Beek’s family has owned and operated the three-car Balboa Island Ferry for nearly 100 years, shuttling passengers to and from the resort town of Balboa Island in Newport Beach. The island is also accessible via a two-lane bridge, but a ferry ride from Balboa Peninsula into town is a can’t-miss experience. The man-made island charms visitors year-round with its quaint main street and colorful, multimillion-dollar cottages. Located near Disneyland, and a 15-minute drive from John Wayne Airport, the island offers a great family-friendly getaway for spring or summer.

For a local’s take on the best spots in town, read on to discover Beek's picks for everything from the best beachside family activities to locals’ happy hour hangout.
WHAT TO DO



Spend a day at Disneyland, then make your way to Newport Beach and Balboa Island. For family fun on the water, rent a paddleboard or kayak from Balboa Surf & Style, or take a motorboat out to tour the harbor. There are also whale-watching boat tours this spring, or Hollywood-themed cruises to view old movie stars’ seaside retreats.

On shore, visit shops and restaurants along Marine Avenue, the town’s charming main street. The two-mile Balboa Boardwalk around the island is a popular spot for dog-walkers, joggers, and visitors alike. Along the way, check out the South Bayfront Promenade, where the Balboa Island Artwalk will kick off the town’s summer season May 18. You’ll see 100 artists showcasing jewelry, paintings, blown glass, and more—plus you'll be able to enjoy live music performances throughout the day.



A ferry ride across the harbor to Balboa Pier takes you to neighboring Balboa Village, where you’ll find the Balboa Fun Zone’s Ferris wheel, arcades, and ExplorOcean nautical museum for kids, plus the Balboa Pavilion.
WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK



Tuck into a hearty breakfast at Wilma’s Patio, a family-owned, decades-old restaurant where you’ll find light omelets, eggs Benedict, and everything in between. All menu items are fresh and homemade, including the hollandaise sauce and pancake syrup. For a rowdy happy hour and stiff drinks, try the Village Inn (127 Marine Avenue, Balboa Island, 949/675-8300) for great food and nightly live entertainment. It’s the island’s only bar with a full liquor license, and still operating the same as it did back in the 1920s. For dessert, pick up a frozen chocolate-dipped banana or Balboa Bar at Dad’s Donut & Bakery Shop (318 Marine Avenue, Balboa Island, 949/673-8686). Dad’s has been a go-to spot for sweet-tooth cravings since the mid-1940s.
WHERE TO STAY

There are no hotels on Balboa Island, but try the nearby Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa orIsland Hotel. Both provide close proximity and shuttle services to Balboa Island and local landmarks, and they’re also located across the street from the luxe Fashion Island outdoor mall, a world-class shopping destination.
