Activities in Funen

Maritimt Center Danmark
In high summer, the Maritimt Center Danmark runs cruises on the historic wooden sailing ship Meta, and there’s often pirate-related fun for kids – contact the centre for details. Another vintage ship is the M/S Helge, which sails in Svendborg Sound. While you’re down at the harbour, look for Sejlskibsbroen, a jetty lined with splendidly preserved sailing ships opposite where the Ærø ferry docks.

Odense Åfart
From May to mid-September, Odense Åfart runs 35-minute river rides to the wooded Fruens Bøge area, where there’s a ‘nature playground’ full of giant wooden toadstools and centipedes. From here, it’s a 15-minute walk to Den Fynske Landsby. The boat stops at Odense Zoo en route. Trips leave Munke Mose on the hour from 10am and 5pm.
