This Danish Company Creates the World’s Most Awesome Playgrounds

MONSTRUM is a company founded by Ole Barslund Nielsen and Christian Jensen, and their main goal is to create whimsical playgrounds designed around stories. These playgrounds not only let kids play and get their exercise but the playground itself can also stimulate their minds as they enact elaborate stories!

MONSTRUM's playgrounds often have an aquatic theme, like this 15-meter-long Blue Whale in Plikta Park in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Another whale creation, this time a sperm whale, can be found just outside Denmark's North Sea Oceanarium.

Children can climb inside the whale and re-enact the story of Pinocchio.

Here's a dragon popping out of the sand in Mulighedernes Park in Aalborg, Denmark.

And here's a giant parrod slide in a public park in Copenhagen.

This brightly colored eel wraps itself around a play lighthouse next to the National Museum of Bermuda.

These two giant owls serve as guardians of the playground in Stockholm's Kristinebergs Slottspark.

These beetles make for great adventure stories for the kids. One is even wheelchair accessible.

MONSTRUM also create shipwrecks that kids can pretend to discover and explore. This one is in Moscow's Gorky Park.

And here's a ship that's being taken down by a kraken. This one is also located in Gorky Park.

This playground in Copenhagen is called the Bermuda Triangle, and it features a plane that's about to crash into the mysterious area.

The Bermuda Triangle Playground also features a sunken galleon and a whale, along with the crashed plane.

This one is a crashed cargo ship in Sweden's Höganäs Municipality.

And here's a ship that has hit a sandbar and split into two.

This playground in Brumbleby features a delightfully surreal collection of houses.
