Advice One Evening and One Day in Copenhagen with a Teenager

We're arriving in Copenhagen in August on a Friday evening and leaving Sunday morning, so we have one evening and one full day to explore. I'm planning on visiting Tivoli Gardens, but I'm looking for more suggestions that would be enjoyable for a 13-year-old. Any recommendations for activities, sights, or places to eat that are teen-friendly? Also, any tips on making the most of our short time there would be great!

Copenhagen is such a vibrant city, and you’ve got a great start with Tivoli Gardens—it’s magical in the evening! For your full day, consider renting bikes to explore the city like locals. Teens often love the street food scene at Reffen, and the Copenhagen Street Food Market is a hit for casual, delicious bites. Don’t miss the Round Tower for panoramic views—it’s quick and fun. For something unique, the Experimentarium is interactive and perfect for curious minds. How does that sound for a mix of fun and culture?
