I've seen every single of your videos and I came back just to tell you that this is the best one. Your family is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your great experiences around.
Den Blå Planet does so much to science and preservation of sea life. Previously they were Danmarks Akvarie, but with their new location and beautiful buildings, they became more of a tourist thing. Before that, they were more of an educational institution. Would certainly be a pity to see such an old entity go belly up. But I do have to say, if you're just visiting once, it gets really expensive. I think that they have some cooperation with zoo about season tickets, then it's not that bad. Or use a "Copenhagen Card" while visiting then you save a lot in the end, public transport included. After all, despite the individual ticket price, I really think it's worth a visit. Great experience, and you know that you've given nature a tip, in the way how they pass on their knowledge to preserve marine life around DK. Great and very thoughtful video, using your exposure the right way, thanks.
Nice to see you're loving it. ;-) A little correction - Den Blå Planet is on Amager in the city of Kastrup nearby Kastrup Airport - it's very easy to get there by Metro from Copenhagen Centrum. We who live on the island Amager don't like to hear that we're living in Copenhagen - you can laugh here but that's how it is. Now I'm writing to you guys - did you ever visit an allotment ? Think this is kind of special for people living in Denmark.
Originally an elderly building to the north, but when this new version was built (I visited it on the second opening day) we stood waiting for hours to get in!
Great video guys! Wish my gf could also visit Denmark, but she didnt know there was a boat that goes there. Now we will vacay there, and go to the blue acvatirum! Woohoooo
@@TravelinYoung Question for the livestream on the 26th: How has your work experience in Denmark been so far? Is it good, stressful, different than America etc? Was it easy to adapt to a new work environment for you?
The Blå Planet is just beautiful! Have you ever been to Kattegat Centret, in Grenå? Before DBP existed that was the place to go! Still is when you're in that part of the country (just a hop, skip and a ferry away) hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
@@TravelinYoung Nordsøen oceanarium in Hirtshals is also a very great place. I have worked there i the past. You can see much of the sealife in the North sea. Incuding the Mola Mola.
are you considering taking some Christmas trips, if so I would highly recommend den gamleby/the old town in Aarhus at Christmas time. you will get an abundance of Danish Christmas mood, and a timeline of Christmas history in Denmark
I agree Den Gamle By is great at Christmas, we actually went last year. I know it wasn't 100% due to Covid, but still a nice and relaxing experience. We probably won't make it that far this season, but we will definitely hit a spot outside of CPH one weekend in Dec.
@@TravelinYoung You could try traveling to germany for some great christmats fairs. The one in Lübeck isnt the biggest one, but its the closest one to Denmark .
I have been to Nordsø Akvariet near Thisted and on a few occassions where i was lucky to be there around school holidays i had the experience of their Daily Shark feeding, its worth a visit if you love fish and the sea. Nordsø Akvariet is specifically showing the amazing wildlife in the north sea. I also love visiting AQUA Akvarium og Dyrepark in Silkeborg, more focused on lake and river life and wildlife in forrests, there is many places to look at fish and waterlife in Denmark.
Love sealife. I paid double entrance just to show my appreciation for them. They really need the publics support. Great place! Would be cool if they made it more easy to sponsor some of the animals, I know a lot of people who would like to do that. Like they did with the squid. Btw. you couldn't touch the stingrays. They were ordinary rays :-)
I highly recommend Osaka Aquarium, if you get the chance to visit Japan. That place is amazing, especially if you already appreciate experiencing aquariums and sealife. It is incredibly big, with the central tank having two whalesharks living in it, in addition to many other marine animals. Absolutely worth the visit. Never been to Den Blå Planet myself, but will put it on my todo list. Great message about supporting the place. It is important that we keep these places up and running.
There are 2 more Aquarium here in denmark you should visit when you get the chance kattegatcenteret in grenå and then there is nordsøen oceanarium in Hirtshals
I gotta say, the order of your video is backwords. You start at the more boring stuff and later go to the fun stuff... People don´t think that this place is boring on first glaze, skip to later in the video and you will see there is some cool stuff there! And they get new fish fairly regularly. I have had a yearcard to this place for 3 years now
You guys should really try and visit "Randers regnskov" in "Randers" - Its a zoo but a different one, because you get to walk inside a dome filled with animals and no fences. It kinda feels like being in the actual rainforest, and its 10x times better that the normal zoo.
Very good video. I really should try to go there, when it's less crowded, like the two of you did. I've visited a few times on family trips, but always during summer vacation time around noon... Too many people let in at the same time + too hot and too humid So nice to see how great an experience it can be with fewer people around
I like aquariums they are interesting places to learn a lot about the sea and its inhabitants :) Question for 26 of September, Are you going to visit Denmark's neighbor Sweden some time in the future after the pandemic is over and the travel restrictions is gone?
I can see that someone already recommended the North Sea akvarium. So i won't go in to deep on that, but I will say that if you guys love akvariums you will absolutely love that one.
Nice video...😉 btw have you visited roskilde cathedral or christiansborg/parliament already.....since both are important buildings and key to danish history...
I’ve been personally but haven’t had the chance to shoot a video from either yet. They are on the list though. I recently considered doing Christianborg, but they have some strict rules about video inside the building.
Good thing the Youngs aren't English or British - we wouldn't really want to have those sinister guys walking around in the cellars under our Parliament - we know what they are up to! 😉 Guy Fawkes and his friends nearly succeded in blowing up the British Parliament in 1605 by placing a lof of barrels with gun powder in the cellars under it - the plot was foiled at the last moment.
@@TravelinYoung You probably can't film inside Christiansborg, but don't miss the ruins of Absalons Borg and the Copenhagen Castle below Christiansborg. The oldest ruins are dating back to the 12th century and were exposed in 1907 when excavating for the current Christiansborg castle ... which is the third Christiansborg at the site after the earlier two burned down.
Thanks for another _great_ clip guys! 👍👍 I'm ashamed to say this, but I've never been to this aquarium 🤭😙. I'm appalled that our government wouldn't ensure the aquarium had the necessary funds to ensure it's survival through the pandemic. Can this _really_ be right?🤔 Well, it _is_ Denmark, so of course it can 😝
Den Blå Planet have fish from all over the world. If want to see the fish living in the local sea here in Denmark sould give Øresunds Akvarium located in Helsingør a visit.
It's usually very crowded and though business has been slow over the last year for obvious reasons, they will probably pick up steam again pretty quickly.
Meyer are you planning on staying there on a permanent lab permanent basis or ever going back to the US I’m kind of curious on that one from your perspective of being there and going through school and possibly with going through college as well and what type of work would you plan on getting there while in the country me if I could I’d move to Sweden
I am planning on staying here permanently! I am planning on finishing gymnasium and going on to university! I would really love to go into public health and working with teens as a job :)
@@mayaanastasiayoung6739 I really hope you are very successful and I’m proud of you and impressed you are one very strong woman and very intelligent and personally with a lot of things are starting to go on right now me and my wife are planning or looking at the idea of moving to Sweden because of a lot of things that are happening here in the US
Great video, I come there alot myself. Nice to see you finally ventured out to the more shady parts of our country: Amager - aka Shit Island (Lorteøen), aka Mordor, aka Devils Island (o; or as I like to call it: Home (o:
It is usually Sjælland that is called devil Island by Jutes. The other name comes from the farmers of Amager using the latrine contents from Copenhagen as fertiliser.
@@klausolekristiansen2960 True. But Jutes can't tell the difference between Sjælland and Amager. Also, Amager was built on latrine contents, garbage and beheaded people. Amager is considered to be the dumpyard of Copenhagen, hence the name "Shit Island".
I thought we were The Devil's Island / Djævle-øen here on Zealand / Sjælland - at least according to the Jutes, Z. being the remote capital, the seat of the Parliament / Folketinget with the government, the home of stupid legislation, too high taxes, VAT, most institutions, the often reality challenged "elites" and really weird behaviour compared to the more sensible down to Earth Jutes etc. - ?
Maya seems to have seen the light - Denmark is a great place. The rest of you... hmm. Moving on is still an option. Anyway - great content. The tourism board could not do a better job - and they have a budget of millions!
Questions for the livestream: Do you still not have any plans of leaving Denmark to go back to Chicago? What do you do for a living, what's your actual jobs? (Josh & Miranda) What's your current favorite danish snacks and what do you really not like? Maya, what are you planning to do when you're done with school? which direction are you steering towards? How many different countries have you guys been to? and can you name all of them? Josh name your all-time favorite beer?
I also have a question for all of you what about setting up a go fund me site or even going to setting up a Patreon site to raise money for the maze for the aquarium that would be a great way to help raise money to donate to them so the help I’m sure there will be a lot of people that would be more than happy to donate to either one of those sites that I mentioned and was a Patreon you could actually do videos of the aquarium and interviewing staff that work there including the Director and other employees about the aquarium and putting them up on there for people to pay a certain level to see those videos and to learn more information and updates on how the aquarium is doing I would certainly consider going to that Patreon site and subscribing
Ha, Miranda had some stuff to do so we decided just Maya and I would go. We do have them yes, the zoo near our house in IL had rays you could touch. And I am sure I am getting more grey, especially in my beard. I suspect in a year or 2 it may be fully grey at this pace :).
@@TravelinYoung Ah okay cool I guess the main difference is what you are allowed to touch. Haha yeah I was thinking especially your beard😅. Must have been the lockdown with an almost adult plus Miranda 😂
I love the idea of people learning about animals, but hate that we keep them in jail just for being different than us to do so, there must be a better way
On the one hand they have a national aquarium, on the other hand they slaughter thousands of dolphins each year, for fun and as "tradition" (a few days ago on the Faröer islands). You will be shocked if you watch the videos about this. People should boycot this country, do you see that the population in Denmark protests against this? No.
This year's hunt was indeed shocking, however it is inaccurate to lay the blame for it on Denmark. The Farøe Islands are an autonomous region with their own government and PM.

Thats it. I’m takink my to kids frim Norway on a daytrip to Copenhagen in october. We will go to this place :-)
Awesome!
Goto admire Mayas pronunciation of Danish words ! She has come a long way
She is doing great for sure, better than me (Joshua).
I guess that she ought to? I presume that she’s speaking danish at school at a daily basis?
Practice makes progression
As a half british, half dane, growing up in Denmark. With family in America as well. This channel is amazing to discover.
I’m glad you found us :).
Thank you for endorsing Den Blå Planet.
Our pleasure, it is a cool place to visit!
Thanks for the video. My wife and I are going today. I like the father and daughter duo. 😊
I've seen every single of your videos and I came back just to tell you that this is the best one. Your family is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your great experiences around.
Thank you for this! We have a lot of fun making the videos, it is so cool for us that folks enjoy them :).
Den Blå Planet does so much to science and preservation of sea life. Previously they were Danmarks Akvarie, but with their new location and beautiful buildings, they became more of a tourist thing. Before that, they were more of an educational institution.
Would certainly be a pity to see such an old entity go belly up. But I do have to say, if you're just visiting once, it gets really expensive.
I think that they have some cooperation with zoo about season tickets, then it's not that bad. Or use a "Copenhagen Card" while visiting then you save a lot in the end, public transport included.
After all, despite the individual ticket price, I really think it's worth a visit. Great experience, and you know that you've given nature a tip, in the way how they pass on their knowledge to preserve marine life around DK.
Great and very thoughtful video, using your exposure the right way, thanks.
Thanks, I agree it would be a loss for it to close.
@@TravelinYoung you can be sure I'll not be eating any of those fish 😄 but I do think that it's a good indicator of how well we're doing.
Great idea to ask us support them with our visit! I love aquariums too 👍
thanks for doing this, i love this aquarium so great to see you support it
You are welcome, and thanks for watching!

Next time you're in Tivoli, visit the foyer in the Concert Hall. Beautiful aquarium there.
Good message.. I will certainly visit if they are here, next time I go to Copenhagen

I never forget Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, it was so HUGE!

Thanks!
@@TravelinYoung Question for the livestream on the 26th: How has your work experience in Denmark been so far? Is it good, stressful, different than America etc? Was it easy to adapt to a new work environment for you?
That ray that swam above the tunnel was HUGE. 8:27
It is so long since I was there. It was shortly after they opened.
It was massive!
Round ribbontail ray, around 100kg. :-)
If you listens carefully after telling the friday fact you can hear me go “woah!” When I saw the stingray
The Blå Planet is just beautiful!
Have you ever been to Kattegat Centret, in Grenå?
Before DBP existed that was the place to go! Still is when you're in that part of the country (just a hop, skip and a ferry away)
hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
We have not, but I will add that to a future trip to Jutland!
Elsker Kattegat centeret kom der tit da jeg var mindre det var nu heller ikke verdens længste tur når man er fra Aarhus
@@TravelinYoung or Fjord&bælt i Kerteminde på Fyn
@@TravelinYoung If you liked the few shark at Den blå planet, Kattegat has a lot more sharks and they got seals

The squid got sponsored because Niklas talked to a lawyer
Also if you haven’t been there yet then I would recommend to visit Randers Regnskov 😊
Oh we did, it is great! We went over the summer, it is in our Randers video. We had a great time!
That sounds great it have been a long time since I’ve last been there so I will go see you’re Randers video straight away 😊

On the one hand they have a national aquarium, on the other hand they slaughter thousands of dolphins each year, for fun and as "tradition" (a few days ago on the Faröer islands). You will be shocked if you watch the videos about this. People should boycot this country, do you see that the population in Denmark protests against this? No.
This year's hunt was indeed shocking, however it is inaccurate to lay the blame for it on Denmark. The Farøe Islands are an autonomous region with their own government and PM. They hold the executive power and create their own laws when it comes to rules about these hunts.
Many people have been outraged by this year's hunt and it is being reviewed by the Farøese government.
