Petzi moves into Tivoli Gardens
Petzi and his friends Pelle, Pingo, Old Salt and the ship Mary have moved into The Tivoli Gardens. 12 May 2010 the world-renowned Danish cartoon character got its very own universe: Petzi's World. Here children of all ages can enjoy more than 40 different activities, giant cartoon decorations and sensory experiences based on the Petzi stories. And entry is free for visitors to Tivoli.

Petzi's World is constructed to resemble a voyage of discovery, where grown-up, small and even the smallest children have their own areas to explore. The 13000 sq. ft. area will be filled with all sorts of challenges, from concrete crawling pipes in Pingonesia to the good ship Mary or rope ladders leading to the steeple. Entry to Petzi's World will be free, and, once inside, admission will be charged for a ride on the simple Petzi amusement. |
Petzis World replaces the playground next to Tivoli Lake, and will be considerably larger than today's playground. The toboggan slide from 1958, which was built as a part of the artist's playground, will be moved to the play area beside the new Tivoli Hotel, which will be opening in the summer of 2010.
