TIVOLI GARDENS PLAYGROUND. Parents can park their progeny here, then, unfettered, enjoy the adult attractions. Created by 13 top Danish artists and architects, the playground has everything to charm a child: fireflies flitting in trees, tiny-tot tables and chairs, shallow canals with paper sailboats, a hide-and-seek maze with magic mirrors, an S-shaped slippery slide in a giant sandbox, and legetanter (play aunts) to share...
