Fårup Sommerland Vis hensyn card: how it works

At a glance

Denmark · Saltum, North Jutland (the park gives its postal address as Blokhus)

Queue arrangement: Vis hensyn card ("Show consideration"): you enter rides through the exit, and at named rides you are given a return time that matches the current wait.
In short: For guests whose disability means they cannot use the queues on equal terms. The card holder and up to three others, one of them an adult helper wearing a wristband, can ride together. It does not decide whether you may ride; the signs and the operator do.
Evidence: A valid companion card, or other documentation of the disability such as a doctor's statement. The park does not name UK documents or the EU Disability Card. Details
Companions: Up to three others ride with the card holder. Separately, one companion aged 18 or over enters free on a Danish or foreign officially issued companion card. Details

DESK RESEARCH · 2 OCTOBER 2026

What kind of trip is this?

Fårup Sommerland is a family theme park in a wooded part of North Jutland. The park says it has more than 60 rides, a water park (Aquaparken) and its own hotel in the middle of the park. It says its paths are tiled and that there are no lifts at the rides. Many of the bigger rides carry strict evacuation rules, so the ride-by-ride rules matter as much as the queue card.

The park publishes a short policy for the card, a list of facilities and a link to the national God Adgang accessibility listing. It does not publish sensory information, a quiet space, or rules on medication or oxygen. We say so below rather than guess.

Facts below come from the park's own pages. Suggestions are labelled as planning advice.

How the Vis hensyn card works

What the park says. The card is issued only to people whose disability means they cannot use the ride queue systems on equal terms with other guests. The adult helper receives a special wristband showing that this person is responsible for the guest with a disability. One person cannot be the helper for two or more card holders at the same time.

Return times. The holder asks at a ride and the operator writes a time on an appointment card ("tidsbestillingskort"). If the queue is 20 minutes, the time is 20 minutes later. You enter through the exit when the time has come. The time can be used from then and for the following hour. You can only be given a new time at a ride once the current one has been used. The guest with the disability does not need to be there to get a time; the helper wearing the wristband can ask at the selected rides.

Rides with times. The Danish page names ten: Hvirvelvinden, Falken, Orkanen, Rafting, Mine-ekspressen, Flagermusen, Lynet, Træstammerne, Saven and Fønix. The park's English page names nine and leaves out Saven. At the other rides the Danish page says to speak to the operator, possibly via the exit.

Where to get the card. Guest Service (Gæsteservice) hands out the disability guidance, the appointment card and the Vis hensyn card (Danish page). The English page says "Information desk". The practical information page says Guest Service is next to the first aid house. The pages do not say whether you can apply before the day.

Not in the water park. The Danish page says the card is not valid in Aquaparken. The English page does not say this.

Planning advice. The park says the card does not remove any ride restriction. Read the safety rules below before you queue.

Documents and eligibility

To receive the card the Danish page says to show a valid companion card, or other documentation of the disability, for example a doctor's statement showing that you cannot stand in a queue. No template or wording for the statement is given.

Companion cards. The park names the DSB companion card, the Børneledsagerkort (child companion card), the DH companion card and a Danish Association of the Blind membership card, and says a foreign officially issued companion card for disabled people also counts for the free companion place. The page does not say which foreign cards qualify.

UK documents. The pages we read do not name a Blue Badge, a PIP letter or any other UK document. Not named does not mean refused: the "other documentation" route suggests a letter from a clinician may be enough for the card itself, but the park does not say so for visitors from abroad or in which languages. Our UK documents abroad guide covers the general position.

EU Disability Card. Not named either. The park says "foreign officially issued companion card" and does not say whether the EU Disability Card counts. Ask before you travel.

Free ticket. Guests with a disability pay the ordinary admission price.

Companions and group size

Free companion ticket. One companion aged 18 or over enters free on showing a valid companion card at the park entrance. The same page says season pass holders with a disability can bring one free companion over 18 under similar rules. The Danish page lists the DSB, DH and child cards and the Blind Association card for season passes; the English page omits the DH card there.

At rides. The card gives access for the guest with a disability and up to three others, and one of the three must be the helper over 18 wearing the wristband. The pages do not say whether the other two need their own tickets. Ask.

Staff and carers. Managers and employees who accompany people in a professional role can enter free with a signed declaration that must be completed for each visit (declaration form, Danish PDF (opens a new tab) ). Children and young people placed in institutions or foster care pay full price, and the accompanying staff enter free with proof of employment.

Rides, restrictions and the safety rules

Safety rules for the card. The Danish page applies special rules to Orkanen, Falken, Flagermusen, Lynet, Mine-Expressen, Træstammerne, Saven and Fønix. The English page lists Orkanen, Hvirvelvinden, Falken, Flagermusen, Lynet, Mine-Expressen, Træstammerne and Fønix: it includes Hvirvelvinden and omits Saven. The park's pages disagree, so ask which rules apply to the ride you want. At the listed rides:

the exit may be used for easier access;
an adult helper or relative must ride with the guest with a disability;
the guest must be able to get on and off the ride without help;
the guest must be able to get themselves out in a stoppage, which the park says means walking down stairs or similar in an evacuation, under the Danish Working Environment Authority's rules;
you may sit in the train for a long time after a stoppage, and the guest must be ready for that.

The operator can refuse a guest for safety reasons and the signs at each ride must be followed. At other rides the park says guests can try them according to ability and with staff.

Wheelchairs on rides. The park says there are no lifts at the rides. Every train in the park has room for one wheelchair in the front carriage, the Rundrejsen carousel has a swan seat for wheelchair users, and the playground by Fønix has a trampoline reserved for wheelchair users. We found nothing on transferring from a wheelchair, harnesses or prostheses, and nothing for individual rides beyond the above.

Height limits. The park shows a minimum height, and for some rides a second figure, on each ride page. The rides page uses icons without text labels, so we do not interpret them here. Heights are measured at Guest Service, where you can also get a wristband showing your height. Check the sign at the ride.

Pregnancy. The park says it advises pregnant guests not to take its rides because of g-forces, shaking and pressure from the restraints, and that signs at rides say whether a ride is advised against.

Repeat rides. The only limit stated is that a new time is issued only when the last one has been used. The pages do not say how many times you can ride the same ride.

Toilets, changing, quiet spaces, dogs and care

Accessible toilets. The park lists them at the water park, in the entrance area, in Spisekammeret, behind Fårup Grill, in the ice-cream shop by the big playground and near Fønix. Changing facilities for both large and small are listed at Fønix and at the entrance, and a baby care centre at Fårup Grill. The park does not use the term Changing Places or say whether the changing areas have a hoist or adult-size bench. Ask for the equipment before you travel.

Wheelchairs. A limited number are lent free. You complete a form and show ID if asked. Reserve ahead by phone (+45 98 88 16 00) or email.

Mobility scooters. A limited number can be hired for 185 DKK a day. Reserve ahead with your name, date and time of visit, by phone or email, and show ID on collection. The park's page gives no information about bringing your own scooter.

Quieter places. We found nothing. No quiet room, low-stimulus area or sensory guide appears on the pages we read. The park says fewest guests usually come on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays in high season, and on ordinary weekdays in spring and autumn.

Medication, oxygen and first aid. The park has a first aid house next to Guest Service, and defibrillators at the information point and at the hotel. We found no page on medication, medical fridges or oxygen. Lockers can be rented at the entrance and the water park (the park gives 50 and 65 DKK at the entrance).

Allergies. The park warns of many wasps and bees in summer and says guests with an allergy to stings should take precautions; staff and first aid can help. We found no allergen list for food in the park.

Assistance dogs. The park says dogs are welcome on a lead and under supervision, but not in the water park or indoors in the restaurants. It names no separate rule or documentation for assistance dogs, so ask about restaurants and rides.

Arrival, parking and getting there without a car

Address. Pirupvejen 147, 9492 Blokhus.

Parking. Parking is free. The park says there are disabled parking spaces and that a disabled badge must be in the windscreen. It does not say whether a foreign permit such as a UK Blue Badge is accepted; ask before you travel. There are 20 electric-car chargers in the car park, which need your own cable and the Norlys app.

By bus. The practical information page says the bus is a good option and gives no routes, stops or step-free details. We found nothing about trains or taxis. See our guide to getting to theme parks with assistance for general questions to ask a bus operator.

Entry times. The entrance usually opens half an hour before the park and closes an hour before the park closes.

Where to stay

Hotel Fårup is inside the park and has 53 rooms. The park's FAQ says it has accessible rooms, easy access for wheelchair users and an unobstructed route to the car park and the park. The FAQ gives a phone number for bookings and information (+45 96 73 92 07). We found no room dimensions, roll-in shower details or equipment. Allergy-friendly rooms cost an extra 350 DKK a stay; dogs are charged 250 DKK a stay. The park also names a campsite, Skovbrynet, 500 metres away, and treetop huts, which we did not research.

A flexible shape for the day

This is planning advice from the facts above, not an access guarantee.

Reserve a wheelchair or scooter ahead, and come early in the day. Park in a disabled space with your permit.
Go to Guest Service first for the card, the wristband for your helper and the disability guide.
Pick your rides using the park's list and check the evacuation rules at each ride before you queue.
Ask for a return time at your first ride, and use the wait at a rest, a meal or a ride without a time.

Questions still worth asking

We have not established the following. Ask the park:

Whether a UK document, a clinician's letter in English or the EU Disability Card is accepted for the Vis hensyn card, and whether you can apply before the day.
Whether Saven and Hvirvelvinden are covered by the evacuation rules and by return times, as the Danish and English pages differ.
Whether a foreign disabled parking permit is accepted.
Whether the three others riding with the card holder need their own tickets.
Equipment in the accessible toilets and changing rooms, including any hoist or adult changing bench.
Transfer, harness and prosthesis rules at specific rides.
Medication, oxygen, medical fridge and assistance dog arrangements, and any quiet space.
Bus routes with wheelchair space and a step-free stop.
Accessible hotel room dimensions and shower type.
