I believe it is open on Mondays in January but check first. There are other things to see in the town. It’s a half hour train ride from Copenhagen. The trains are brilliant!

Is it possible to pay for tickets with a credit card, or is it cash only?

Hi - sorry about the slow reply, its probably too late in the year to be comfortably sailing there. But...since just about everyone in Denmark speaks English I would think that even if the 'official' language of the attraction was Danish that they would translate for you.
What time are the boat rides? There are 2 of us who would like to go Thursday, May 10, 2018.

There is no information about times on the website calendar or anywhere else in the website. I called your office and the person was also completely unable to give any information as to times. How can one plan a day if you have to wait until you get to the museum and then find out if enough people have signed up to know what time the sailings are.
