Martinellis Helsingør

16/07/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed the Maritime Museum! This is another example of how Denmark is leading the way in making museums appealing to children. We're not particularly fond of maritime history, but this museum makes you want to know everything about the history of shipping. It's an impressive place where you can wander among gigantic ships and beautiful galleries. It's a true paradise for children: the play area is super fun and creatively designed — our kids didn't want to leave! The exploration of the museum made everything even more fun and interactive, although we had to ask for it ourselves, as it wasn't offered spontaneously at the ticket office (probably because we spoke a different language? It was indeed available in English). The "boat in a bottle" workshop was also a great success: for about 6 euros, you get a fun, guided craft experience and a lovely souvenir to take home. The only downside: the staff at the entrance weren't very friendly to us, which is a shame in such a child-friendly museum. But once inside, you quickly forget about that. The staff at the workshop and café were incredibly helpful. In short: highly recommended for families who love adventure, games, and stories at sea!
