If u're in cph - go for it - Great experience, you have enough time to review everything in peace and focus on the content. You get a beer before and at the end.

Copenhagen highlight - highly recommended - The exhibition is quite unique and very well done. After a small beer sample and intro, you start with the story of the JC and Carl, the father and son who built the business, tell their story in some well produced videos, then there are interactive games to learn about brewing. This is followed by more traditional historical information. It’s a very well executed experience and definitely not to be missed if visiting Copenhagen. Only note is that if you are a hardcore brewing enthusiast then you aren’t going to meet the actual brewers.

Very interesting, we did not plan enough time :( - Very interesting exhibition to understand what is Carlsberg brand and where it comes from, what are its values. The exhibition requires more than 2h to be able to grasp the extent of the history of the brand and the people who made it. You have to be interested in history, industrial development and human behaviours. I strongly recommend.

To do in the afternoon - Unless you are used to starting your aperitif early in the day, it is better to go in the late afternoon, but not too late because the bar closes at 7:30 and you have to finish the tour before. We had booked the tour at 5:30 p.m. and we had to hurry towards the end, because we spent a lot of time in virtual games. I liked the advertising posters and the beer shelves. I was a little disappointed by the shop (there were no unusual items) and the fact that we refused to serve our daughter a soft beer because she was a minor (I was told that they were not allowed, and I respect their rigor, but it might have made her a good memory to drink her first beer there). Be careful, the elephant gate is not in the same place, you have to go further inside the city, whereas for the visit you can simply follow the rails of the train if you go there by S-tog.

Interactive exhibition - Interactive exhibition on the history of Carlsberg beer. The only other way is that the entire visit is in English. At the end we get a beer and end with the shop.

total sucky rip off - Who would give a 60 minute self-guided advertisement in an abandoned very old factory that you pay a lot for masquerading as a "tour" anything above 1 star?
