Enjoy fairy tale adventures with your little ones when visiting Odense. Ville Vau, the children’s universe at the H.C. Andersen House, fairy tale sculptures, and walks in Andersen’s footsteps are great family-friendly activities for all ages.
Odense is full of fairy tale experiences
In 2025, the exhibition at the H.C. Andersen House in Odense was updated to focus on play, imagination, and togetherness – especially for children. The colourful children’s universe Ville Vau invites young guests to dress up in fairy tale costumes and unleash their creativity.
The exhibition offers immersive and surprising experiences where children and adults can explore Andersen’s magical world together. A new sound system makes it easier to share the experience, and the entire exhibition was designed based on visitor feedback to better engage guests of all ages.

Odense is full of fairy tale sculptures – so many, in fact, that we’ve created a suggested walking route through the city that passes by most of them. You can see a few examples below, and if you’d like to explore the full route and all the sculptures, just click here.
