Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is the second-oldest amusement park to open and is credited to have been the inspiration behind Disneyland. Walt Disney visited the Danish theme park, which first opened its doors in 1843, and was reportedly inspired by its design and family atmosphere.

The park was designed by Georg Carstensen and even welcomed famed author Hans Christian Andersen as one of its first visitors. In 1951, four years before the first Disney park opened in California, Walt Disney and TV personality Art Linkletter paid a visit to Tivoli Gardens. During his visit, Disney meticulously noted down details about the rides, food, lights, and seating arrangements.
