Open Air museum
This open-air museum covers a huge green area between Kongevejen and the Mølleå river, in fact it is one of the world's largest museums in terms of area covered. It houses more than 50 authentic relocated historical farms, houses, and windmills, and sometimes live activities like making butter are performed inside the houses. If your feet get sore, there are horse drawn carriages to take you around for a fee. Guided tours during Sundays. There are also some good picnic spots and a restaurant.

Frilandsmuseets Restaurant
The restaurant is in connection with the open air museum, and is a convenient location for a brunch or lunch if you are visiting the museum, and the setting is quite beautiful. Has gotten some harsh review on their service though.
Tue-Sun 10:00-17:00 - only in season.
