This is a must see! We bought an Aarhus card which gave us free entry to Moesgaard and Aros museum. We decided to goto Den Gamle By just to get our monies worth and it ended up being a wonderful experience. You are immediately transported to a different era (there are a total of 5) where the staff have dressed up in character and will interact with you and educate you about the different ways people have lived and worked. We got to try fresh waffles made by a maid in the 19th century and help a worker pump some water. The whole museum is so thoughtfully produced and maintained. You can freely interact with practically the entire museum. My suggestion is to open every door, drawer and cupboard, fridge etc because there are hidden gems everywhere. There is so much to see, in 4 hours we didn't even finish. Also, there is a games area with traditional games which you can have a go at! You can even ask one of the staff to let you ride the swings!
