Have you heard of Tivoli Gardens? Tivoli is a famous amusement park in,Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark. It is one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe and maybe in the world. It began to open in 1843, and it is still very popular.
Why is Tivoli so popular? The most important is that it is a beautiful place to visit. In some ways, it is more like a big garden than an amusement park. There is a small lake in Tivoli. And you can enjoy many trees and colorful flowers everywhere. Tivoli is specially beautiful at night because there are thousands of lights in the trees.
What can you do in Tivoli? Many people go to Tivoli for the rides. The Golden Tower is their favorite ride. It's very exciting. The tower is as high as a very tall building. When you take this ride, you go in a small car straight up to the top of the tower. At the top you have the chance to enjoy the beautiful city of Copenhagen for a few seconds. Then the car drops, and you fall with it. It is a very scary but funny ride.
Another thing you can do in Tivoli is enjoying the shows. There are free shows and concerts in Tivoli every day. At the Peacock Theater, you can watch the actors perform silent theater. In the show, the actors move and do things, but they don't speak. You have to think about what they are doing to understand the show.Where is Tivoli Gardens?
