What makes it 77% Kids-Friendly: School-age children enjoy spotting deer and boar and running safe gravel circuits, but parents must supervise feeding bans and there is no playground or staff-led activities.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: This allows time for a scavenger hunt, wildlife spotting, and a picnic without rushing.
Nature scavenger hunt:
Kids search for deer tracks, chestnuts, fallen logs and boar signs along the trails.
Tip: Give each child a simple checklist and a pencil before starting on the main loop.
Deer and boar spotting:
Walk the gravel paths to see sika deer, roe deer and the small wild boar enclosure.
Tip: Keep a 20 meter distance and use binoculars for a closer view without disturbing animals.
Picnic with games:
Use picnic benches and open lawns for lunch and ball games or frisbee.
Tip: Bring extra layers for kids to sit on the grass and pack snacks in sealable bags.
Easy forest trail:
Follow the wide gravel paths for a gentle family-friendly walk through the preserve.
Tip: Start at Ørneredevej entrance for flatter terrain and clear signposts to the car park.

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.

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
In autumn, look for fallen chestnuts and colorful foliage. In spring, spot new fawns near open meadows. Summer mornings offer cooler air and active deer grazing.
