Positives:

  • Free entry: No admission fee lets you spend on snacks or transport instead of tickets.
  • Easy transport: Bus 18 and 19 stop near Ørneredevej entrance—connects directly to city center.

Challenges:

  • No on-site café: Bring all food and water; there are no food outlets inside the park.
  • Untamed wildlife: Keep distance and do not feed deer or boar; they roam freely and can be shy.

Marselisborg Deer Park is an absolute must-visit in Aarhus! The park is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers a truly magical experience with the free-roaming deer. It’s rare to find a place where you can walk quietly among wildlife and feel so close to nature while still being just minutes from the city. The deer are gentle and used to visitors, and watching them wander through the forest...

This is a great park that is very special. Depending on the time of year you will see all the big bucks on full display which is unique to say the least. Be cautious around the bucks. This is how quickly things can change! They are having to harvest the big bucks because they can get aggressive with people feeding them more so between the months of sept-November according to locals. It’s not their...

I didn’t see a single deer when I went to the deer park in Ireland, but this time in Denmark? Around 30 deers right in front of me. What beautiful creatures! Someone on the internet says you can feed them and I got there all excited with my carrots then saw the no feeding sign :( anyways the deers are so cute! Park has wc. And the park is close to the infinite bridge.

Simply stunning! We loved it here and spent most of our day with these beautiful animals. When you arrive, take your time, be smooth with movements. Go to back of park up the hill by the water, snap some branches at the back and watch how many deer you have right next to you eating them. Makes for a super special visit

When is the best time to visit Marselisborg Deer Park (Aarhus, Denmark)?

Visit in spring to spot newborn fawns among fresh greenery, and in autumn when leaves turn gold. Paths may be muddy after rain, so wear waterproof shoes.
