Some suggestions for things to go see / experience with kids while visiting Copenhagen, Denmark.
Website about activities for kids in Copenhagen - always up-to-date.
Its in Danish so you'd need a google translator, but they list all the stuff going on currently, so you could check the week you are here or the week before.

-- you'd probably need a car to go here. But think its worth the drive as its fun to see these old houses and if you are lucky you can see a sheep getting shaved for its wool ;)
Experimentarium - indoor place with a lot of different activities.
Lots of science stuff for kids. Fun experiments and activities.
