Read more on the "All facilities" page or contact booking@ungdomsoen.dk for more information.

Why are prices higher for people over 30?

Because we are a Youth Island, created and developed by, with and for young people. To make Ungdomsøen as accessible to young people as possible, prices at Ungdomsøen differ. This means that young people get a 30% discount on almost everything you can buy or book at Ungdomsøen. If you are over 30, you help make it possible for many more young people to visit and use Ungdomsøen. We call it the Ungdomsøen Robin Hood model.

How big is Ungdomsøen?

Ungdomsøen is around 70,000 square metres including the harbour. That is roughly the size of ten football pitches. We have 53,500 square metres outdoors (about eight football pitches) and 16,500 square metres indoors (about two football pitches). But that can be hard to picture, so here is a quick overview of walking times: It takes 10 to 15 minutes to walk around the whole island along the outer perimeter, where the campsite is, about 5 minutes to get from the quay to Hangar C, and on average about 2 minutes to get from the quay to most of the rooms inside the fort.

What can you do at Ungdomsøen?

Ungdomsøen is a platform for experiences where young people bring the content themselves. That means you can do more or less anything at Ungdomsøen. You can come up with your own exciting activities, or you can take a look at our range of activities on the "Activities at Ungdomsøen" page.

Can I swim?

Yes! Just be aware that you swim at your own risk. There is no lifeguard at Ungdomsøen, but there are lifebuoys and illuminated rescue ladders all the way around the harbour. Please swim at the end of the harbour basin with the diving boards – that is where there is least boat traffic.

Can we stay overnight at Ungdomsøen?

Yes! There are several ways to stay overnight at Ungdomsøen. You can book a dormitory for up to 10 people, rent a shelter for up to 8 people or book a pitch at our campsite. See all the options on the "Accommodation" page here on the website.

Can I bring my dog to Ungdomsøen?

Yes! You are welcome to bring your four-legged friend to Ungdomsøen. However, there may at times be many people, often young, at Ungdomsøen and the commotion that comes with it. This can be overwhelming for dogs that are not used to people. Please keep this in mind so that you, your dog and the other guests all have a great time at Ungdomsøen. And of course, as a dog owner you need to look after Ungdomsøen like the rest of us – so remember to bring poop bags.

What happens in winter?

Ungdomsøen is open all year round – also in winter. Winter is the perfect time to explore the 16,500 square metres of indoor space at Ungdomsøen, where you will find our activity rooms, among other things. Keep up to date with events at Ungdomsøen on the "Events" page.

How is Ungdomsøen funded?

Ungdomsøen is supported by many foundations, but they cannot pay for all the running of Ungdomsøen and all the great ideas of young people. That is why we also need to earn our own money, so Ungdomsøen is financially sustainable. When you visit Ungdomsøen and pay the harbour fee, buy things in the kiosk or book a room, you help us pay for Ungdomsøen. You can read more about the finances of Ungdomsøen on the "Who pays?" page here on the website.
