Kristen Bell on Taking Dax Home for the First Time, Vacationing with Jimmy & Her Kids Loving Denmark

[@DannyPhilipsen]

The Tivoli bit made me smile. Yes, kids often run around on their own in the park, but the parents are still present - just in the background. I remember my dad giving my siblings and me a wristband, and let us loose in the park by ourselves. Fun times!

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

Went to Egeskov Castle with my kids this summer, only lost my 4 year old 4 times that day 😄 Egeskov is multiple times larger than Tivoli and we were only 5 adults to keep an eye on 7 kids... of course the kids look out for each other as well. Anyway, he's the kind of kid that's everywhere, and he doesn't say where he's going if he believes that he know where I am. (He seems good at finding back to where he left me, good sense of direction). We found him every time, of course, and in worst case scenario, he had a wristband on with my phone number. Let kids be kids.

[@michaelaivalu]

I'm from Denmark and yes, the kids are perfectly safe running around Tivoli without their parents. Denmark is super safe in general, and the park is very small compared to any theme park in the US.

[@yonkocommander5531]

It's the same in any suburban city in the US, you just don't see that in movies and the Internet, California is bigger than Denmark, Sweden and Germany combined

[@jameshopkins503]

Is Denmark where the moms leave the prams outside to let the babies sleep and they’ve never had an issue? As an American I can’t fathom kids just being safe alone. It’s terrifying here. I’m so envious of a place where kids aren’t targets all the time. Good for Denmark. Y’all have something figured out, wish we could too.

[@PSA78]

Same here in Sweden, if there ever was an issue as a kid at something like a tivoli then you just approached any adult and you got help. I and my siblings all slept in prams outside in the fresh air, at least during the winter (could be dangerous in the summer heat), they just put an old mechanical watch in it that ticks as it resembles the heartbeat of the mom and you're snoring like a grown man. ⌚😴

[@michaelaivalu]

@@jameshopkins503 it is indeed! We do it in all the Nordic countries. You typically place them in your own garden. But we don't have dangerous animals roaming around and we are less than 6 million people, and even the poorer part of the population are taken well care of compared to The US. Both rich and poor have a fairly high living standard.

[@youvelookedbetter]

His podcast just makes you realize how much of a typical bro he is. Someone who doesn't think much outside of himself. She deserves better.

[@Reza2620]

So just to put things in a context as a Danish person: About a year ago, someone kidnapped a 13 year old girl in Copenhagen while she was delivering newspapers on her bicycle. Without any clues, our police still was able to find the girl and the kidnapper within 24 hours. This is partially due to our country is extemely small. You can travel from one end of the country to the other end in 7 hours. I also have to note that IF anyone, and I mean litterally ANYONE, see's a child being abused, kidnapped or similar things on the streets, all hell will break upon the person doing the crimes. The criminals in Denmark are very tough on people who have been commited crimes against women or children.

[@Drescher1984]

Pretty sure that wasn't in Copenhagen, but small city over hundrede miles away. It's still very very very rare % wise

[@maddiek1980]

I went to a few silent discoes in London in the early 2000s and loved it. I’d lift up my headphones and only hear shuffling. People weren’t terribly vocal.

[@SomebodysVincent]

We are very chill like that here in Denmark.

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

Trivoli is an original theme park before Disney, at the center of Copenhagen. It's all gated, but walking on the streets, you can hear the rollercoaster, music etc. i remember it has lots of trees. Copenhagen is an unusual city, the little bronze mermaid is actually very small, by the beach, facing sunset everyday. I learned from the local receptionist that on weekends, the Danish like to picnic in the park and a famous cemetery 🪦😅 i was there in May 2016, so it was a sunny spring day, the cemetery was full of old tombstone 🪦, treees, flowers 🌷 and people on picnic blankets, wine, 🍺, snacks They also cycle on bike lanes with open beer can!!!!!

[@mochtegerndane7097]

Now - here is something to blow the mind of the Americans. My kids went to a free school here in Copenhagen quite far from our home. (45 minutes with a train shift). When they were 10 years old, they were given a Nokia phone and had to do the school trip on their own. For the next six years, they would do that every day. And, honestly, it was waaaaay safer than us driving them in a car.

[@maryannlyons]

Just love her!!! And Dax. Couple goals!

[@Critt20]

I did a student exchange to Denmark and yeah, its real loosie goosy. No set legal drinking age and almost zero street crime. People literally can just leave their belongings out and stagger around the streets of the city in the middle of the night without being freaked out.

I am from Denmark. You can buy alchohol when u are 16, but drink it at endy age. But on bars it is from 18.. You can sit things on streats, but we also have bad ppl., so u can be unlucky. But we have nothing about what time children should be home at night ore endything. 😊

[@Lemonz1989]

It’s not that uncommon for parents to let kids walk alone in Denmark, depending on the area, of course. I’ve lived in Denmark for 16 years and can say it’s very safe here. Tivoli Gardens is extra safe, because it’s a closed park, is rather small as she said, and staff is all around the park and can help if something goes wrong. Everyone also speaks English, so the kids wouldn’t have any issues communicating either.

[@janetk8948]

About 55 years ago, my parents did the same thing with Tivoli Gardens. My brother and I were given some money to go play for a few hours each afternoon. Gambling was OK then and I had some luck with the slot machines so my brother would give me the last of our money to see if I could win enough to ride the bumper cars again! Loved to hear that parents can still get some down time while the kids have a blast!!

Oh, KB how I love your story about Copenhagen. Had a similar experience in California. Dropped kids off at 6 flags while we did the Napa wine tour. Gave them each $20 and said be at the gate at 6pm. They had an amazing day of complete freedom and we enjoyed a respite from our long car trip and shared hotel room with the kids. Before you judge please know that that was in the mid 90s. Things weren’t quite so crazy then.
