The highlights of Denpark are its outdoor gardens and the main attraction, the Flower Grand Greenhouse. Outside, you\u2019ll find a variety of gardens in different styles, showcasing seasonal flowers year-round. Strolling through fields of vibrant blooms and the European-inspired landscape feels like stepping into a storybook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique gardens include “World Pear Garden,” featuring approximately 70 varieties of pears from around the globe, including Anjo’s specialty “Nashi” pears. Another standout is the “Queen\u2019s Garden,” symbolized by a myrtle tree gifted by the Danish royal family. Each garden is distinct and picture-worthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large floral sculptures, or topiaries, designed in seasonal shapes like flowers or animals, are also popular photo spots thanks to their unique and charming appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center, you\u2019ll find a replica of the Little Mermaid statue, famous from Andersen’s fairy tales. Beneath the symbolic “Tower of Happiness” called “Lycke,” there’s the “Fountain of Happiness,” a popular spot known as a sanctuary for lovers. Toss a Danish krone coin engraved with a heart into the fountain to make a wish for happiness. (Krone coins are available for purchase at the “Experience Workshop Godai” in Floral Place.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
