Exhibitions are a bit dated. Storytelling nice. Good there were three languages, but unfortunate that one must wait through one entire reading before switching languages. Difficult for 3 year old to have that much patience 😂

Visited this experience using the Copenhagen Card. Firstly, it's worth noting that the experience is located in the same place as Copenhagen's Ripley's believe or not experience. Hence, you can visit both concurrently and if you have the card both attractions are included.
The experience itself is ok. The story of Hans Christian Anderson is fairly comprehensive and brought to life using interactive props. However, it's a very short experience and probably one you shouldn't prioritise if you have time constraints. This said, it's not a bad way to spend 45 mins if you have spare time.

This place is truly like a fairytale. A great place to visit with children, but also fantastic to refresh some childhood memories.

Fantastic museum! Small with plenty to see. Every room transports you to the book's story, we really enjoyed our time there. Highly recommended.

Please do go if you are a HCA fan, even better if you have kids as there is a section where you can stop by and read the stories or have them enacted live. Absolutely went back to being a kid in there.

Ripley's Believe or Not! section was also good, quite a few interesting facts such as the tallest human in the world, lizard man and various art pieces such as one made out of toast. Yes, you read that right, toast as in bread.
Via D'Agostino
Kinda funky, but pretty cool to see both the Anderson and the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not sides. This site is especially suited to kids, and is worth visiting if you’ve got the city card and the time—and it’s right off the main square, so it’s easy to get to.

Das ist total schön gemacht.Man geht zuerst durch ein anderes Museum voller Kuriositäten und kommt dann ans eigentliche Ziel. Das Museum ist wirklich toll gemacht. Die Märchen sind in verschiedenen Sprachen abspielbar, wobei sich die Puppen in Bewegung setzen oder eine Lichtinstallation los geht.

I grew up with the books of Hans Christian Andersen so it only felt right to go to the Fairytale House. You will see his stories come to life and find out about this wonderful writer. Fun for all ages.
