The experience

Entry to Tivoli Gardens, the 1843 amusement park and gardens said to have shaped Walt Disney’s vision for Disneyland.

Tivoli opened in 1843 and is one of the oldest operating amusement parks in the world, combining historic pavilions, gardens, live entertainment and rides within the same walkable grounds in central Copenhagen.

Walt Disney is widely said to have visited Tivoli in 1951 and taken detailed notes on its atmosphere and layout, an experience often cited as a direct influence on Disneyland’s design a few years later.
