Four worlds of weird, all in Copenhagen. This combo ticket is interesting because you can bounce from 500+ Ripley’s curiosities to an Andersen fairy-tale experience without buying four separate admissions. One possible drawback: the pacing can feel uneven, with some parts running shorter and leaning more toward games than stories.

I like how the ticket gives you flexibility. You redeem it at either side of central Copenhagen, then you can plan your order over your ticket’s long validity window.

And yes, this is the kind of attraction day where shoes matter. You’ll be walking through dark halls and lots of exhibit space, with no flash photography and no backpacks allowed.

Key things I’d mark on your map

• 500-plus oddities at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: from weird “facts” to genuine specimens and letter-on-a-grain-of-rice style curiosities.
• Hans Christian Andersen Experience built around famous tales: The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, and The Emperor’s New Clothes.
• Guinness World Records Museum with living exhibits: record-holders and an interactive game area, plus a Pac-Man style challenge.
• Mystic Exploratorie as the sensory finale: dark, theatrical rooms with illusions and a graveyard at midnight theme.
• Redeem at two nearby addresses: you can start at Rådhuspladsen 57 or Østergade 16 and work your way across.

The 4-way combo ticket: how the Copenhagen “weird day” really works

This is a discounted ticket that bundles four separate attractions into one admission. You get into Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Copenhagen, the Hans Christian Andersen Experience, the Guinness World Records Museum, and the Mystic Exploratorie.

The biggest advantage is flexibility. Your ticket is valid for 365 hours, meaning you can match your visit to your schedule instead of forcing everything into one tight afternoon.

Redeeming is simple, but it’s not all in one building. You can redeem at either location pair:

• Ripley’s + Hans Christian Andersen Experience: Rådhuspladsen 57
• Guinness World Records + Mystic Exploratorie: Østergade 16

Between those two areas, it’s an estimated 15-minute walk. That’s long enough to count as real walking, but short enough that you can still make it work even if you start one place first.

If you like having choices while you’re on foot in Copenhagen, this ticket fits that style well.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Copenhagen: 500+ curiosities and the stuff you can’t unsee

Ripley’s is the main “oddities” anchor of the combo, and it’s the only one of its kind in Scandinavia. The feel is exactly what the name promises: a guided tour of the unbelievable, with real objects and strange claims presented as exhibits.

You’re in for over 500 curiosities and exhibits, and that number matters. With that much content, you won’t just skim a wall and call it done. You can take your time and actually compare themes—things that look like science, things that look like horror museum props, and things that look like someone’s clever prank that got out of hand.

The standout for many people is the range of genuine-feeling odd objects. You might see things like a mummified hand, letters written on a grain of rice, and genuine shrunken heads.

How to enjoy it without rushing:

• Move room to room in a loop, not like you’re speedwalking.
• Pick 5 or 6 exhibits that catch your eye and use them as anchors for your route.
• Don’t plan to “finish” it like a checklist. It works better as browsing.

A balanced note: some visitors feel Ripley’s can be quicker than expected. If your goal is deep reading on every label, you may find yourself wishing for more story per exhibit.

Hans Christian Andersen Experience: fairy tales you can walk through

After Ripley’s, this stop shifts the mood from the spooky-weird to the storybook side. The Hans Christian Andersen Experience is designed around following Andersen’s footsteps and exploring his best-known fairy tales.

The specific tales listed here are part of what makes it tangible: The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. Instead of just hearing a summary, you get a pathway through the worlds tied to those stories.

Why it’s worth it in the combo:

• It gives you variety in theme, so the whole day doesn’t feel like one long oddity museum.
• It’s a nice reset if Mystic Exploratorie later turns dark and theatrical.

One thing to watch for is scale. Some feedback suggests it can feel small, so don’t assume you’ll spend the same time here as you might in a big, multi-floor museum. If you love Andersen’s stories, you’ll likely enjoy the cozy tone even if it doesn’t take forever.

Also, this Andersen side of the ticket starts right in the same redemption area as Ripley’s at Rådhuspladsen 57, which makes it convenient if you want to keep the morning in one neighborhood.

Guinness World Records Museum: record-holders, interactive games, and a Pac-Man challenge

The Guinness World Records Museum is the “wow facts” segment of this ticket. You’re meant to meet record-holders, not just read about them, and the exhibits include famous figures such as:

• the man who ate a plane
• the model with the longest legs in the world
• the world’s tallest man

The practical value here is energy. If you’re visiting with kids, or if you’re the type who likes quick surprises, this stop naturally breaks your day into moments of real reaction.

There’s also an Interactive Game Zone. You can try to break a record so your name can show up in the history-book area. There’s also a chance to challenge friends and family on the largest Pac-Man game.

That interactive focus is a double-edged sword. Some people love that you can play, while others want more exhibit context and storytelling. If you go expecting everything to be heavy on text history, you may end up feeling the experience leans more toward games than detailed biography-style displays.

Still, if you want one part of your Copenhagen day that’s straightforward fun, this is the spot.

Mystic Exploratorie: dark halls, illusions, and the graveyard-at-midnight vibe

If the previous three stops are about oddities, stories, and records, Mystic Exploratorie leans hard into the senses. It’s built around dark hallways, thrills, illusions, and mystical phenomena.

The experience style here matters: you’re not just reading labels. You’re walking through an environment meant to mess with your perceptions. Expect to move slowly, look closely, and let the atmosphere set your pace.

This is also where the ticket gets its most theatrical edge. You may cross paths with “unsavory characters,” and the setting includes a desolated graveyard at midnight.

A practical way to enjoy Mystic Exploratorie:

• Save it for later in your day if you want your day to end with drama.
• Bring your patience for dark rooms and moving exhibit traffic.
• Expect some rooms to feel intense, not educational in a traditional museum sense.

One more planning note: Mystic Exploratorie sits at Østergade 16. That means it’s in the same redemption area as Guinness, so it can be an easy pairing if you want to keep your afternoon concentrated in one part of town.

Price and value: does $45 buy enough in real life?

At $45 per person for four attractions, you’re paying about $11–$12 per place before any extras. That math can matter if you’d otherwise buy admissions separately.

Here’s the value logic I’d use:

• If you enjoy variety—oddities, fairy tales, records, and theatrical effects—this ticket can save money while preventing you from having to choose just one museum.
• If you only care about one or two of the attractions, you might feel like you paid for content you’ll rush.

The combo makes the most sense for people who like a mixed “day plan” and don’t want to stare at one theme for hours.

Also keep in mind that food and drinks aren’t included. You’ll want to budget for a snack break, especially if you’re stacking all four in one day.

Finally, note the rating: the experience scores 4.5 out of 5 overall from 13 reviews. That suggests a generally positive fit, even though a smaller share of feedback points to disappointment with pacing or content depth.

Timing tips: how to pace four attractions without getting cranky

This ticket is flexible, but your energy isn’t. So I recommend planning for a realistic rhythm.

My go-to pacing idea:

• Pair close redemption stops together: Ripley’s + Andersen on one side, then Guinness + Mystic on the other.
• If you do all four in one day, don’t force a “start at opening time, finish at closing time” schedule. The fourth stop gets intense.

A good physical setup helps too:

• Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking around exhibits and through dark, maze-like areas.
• Bring water. Food isn’t included, and you’ll want a break before the theatrics of Mystic Exploratorie.
• Use a camera if you want, but remember no flash photography.

And one important content-control rule: no backpacks. If you travel with one, plan a storage option or keep essentials minimal so you don’t end up delayed at entrances.

Practical access reality: stairs and two floors

If you’re counting on wheelchair access, this combo has a clear limitation. The attractions are not wheelchair accessible because they’re on two floors and there’s no lift.

So the best move is to confirm your mobility needs early, especially if you plan to visit multiple attractions with the same ticket. Even if you can navigate stairs slowly, it’s still a lot of vertical movement across different exhibits.

If mobility is limited, you might consider visiting only one or two of the attractions so the route stays manageable.

Who this Copenhagen combo ticket suits best

This is a great fit if you’re traveling with a mix of interests, like kids plus adults who want different kinds of fun.

I’d especially recommend it if:

• You like odd facts and curiosity exhibits, not just classic museum collections
• You want a fairy-tale-themed stop without doing a long, book-based museum visit
• You enjoy hands-on interaction, especially with the Guinness record game zone
• You want one theatrical, sensory experience to close out the day

It may feel less perfect if:

• You want maximum time per museum and lots of detailed storytelling
• You dislike game-focused areas and prefer purely exhibit text
• You need an accessible, step-free route across multiple sites

That balanced read is why I see this ticket working best as a fun day plan, not a scholarly museum “deep mode” day.

Should you book the 4-way combo ticket?

Book it if you want one ticket that turns Copenhagen into a tour of the unbelievable, with stops that vary from oddities to fairy tales to records to eerie illusions. The price can feel fair when you actually use all four, and the flexibility gives you breathing room if your day changes.

Pass or partially plan if you’re picky about content depth or prefer calm, quiet museums. Some parts can feel shorter or more game-like than you’d hope, so it helps to go in with the right expectation: this is entertainment first, information second.

If you match that vibe, this combo is a solid way to get a lot of different experiences in a compact area of the city.
