Baboon City is a giant indoor amusement centre while Jyllands Park Zoo is a family-friendly attraction with giraffes and penguins. Families will also love Løvbakke Deer Park, which has friendly animals and a children's adventure playground.
Herning attracts plenty of visitors to events and trade shows at Scandinavia's biggest exhibition centre but the city has plenty of other sights too.
