Vikingelandsbyen
A small volunteer community project to reconstruct a Viking village using original construction methods. It is just at the outskirts of a nice forest Vestskoven and it is free to peak in, and look around, though it is mainly meant as a living history museum for local school children.
Damhus Tivoli
Small amusement park in the district, mainly of interest only if you are in area and have small kids, or a real craving for mini golf. The bordering lake 'Damhussøen, is a lovely place to go for a walk too.
Ishøj Dyrepark
While hardly worth travelling for, if you are staying in the area, and crave to escape some of the concrete, this green area with grazing deer, Scottish highland cattle, goats and sheep's makes for a good small excursion.
Friluftsbadet Badesøen
Features Europe's largest heated outdoor pool, 60 meters in diameter, and two water slides, 45 and 60 meters respectively. There is also Mini golf, Bocce, basketball and beach-volleyball fields on the large grass area.
Hedeland
Hedeland is a unique and large recreation area, created on the area of an old gravel excavation site. It features a Ski hill (http://www.roskildeskiklub.dk/), Steam railway (http://www.ibk.dk), miniature railway (http://brandhojbanen.dk), amphitheatre with regular open air performances (http://www.teaterhedeland...), a golf course (http://www.hedeland-golf.dk), riding area (http://www.hgrk.dk/) and finally a go-kart track (http://www.hedelands-moto...).
Brøndby Stadium
Home of top Danish football side Brøndby IF, the stadium is home to one of the most lively home crowds in the national league. If you are fortunate enough to run into a match against the local rivals of FC København Copenhagen, these are some of the best matches in the league. Games are usually played on Sundays, with a single league match being played Saturday and Monday.
Middelalderlandsbyen
A living history museum opened in 1999. The village consists of seven reconstructed houses as they would have looked in the 13th century surrounding a small village pond. There are several workshops with many activities for the kids.
beaches
There are several good beaches along the coast, such as Brøndby, Ishøj& Vallensbæk strand. The whole area is dubbed Køge Bugt Strandpark (http://www.strandparken-k...), and covers 7 kilometers of whitebeaches, sand dunes, meadows and lakes. It is very popular on warm summer days, but there are usually plenty of space if you look around. Facilities include jetties, toilets and several Kiosks dishing out popular ice creams. During late June to early August there are lifeguards present. Access by any station along the A and E S-train lines between Brøndby-Strand and Greve stations.
Theaters and concert halls
Forbrændingen
The main concert venue of this district. Almost 100 concerts each year but not much action during the summer. Stages upcoming Danish bands.
Viften
A community center in Rødovre, with Cinema, Theatre and a Café
Portalen
A local cultural centre which hosts a concert venue, a gallery, theatre and a café.
Expect bands mainly to be Danish bands, and theatrical performances in the Danish language, since none of these venues are really geared for tourists.
