Cultural Habits Survey

The purpose of the Cultural Habits Survey is to document the cultural habits of the residents of Denmark. Culture is broadly defined, as the survey covers habits within the topics of culture, media and recreational activities, e.g. concerts, performing arts, cinema, literature, exercise, digital games and hobbies. The survey has been carried out regularly since 1964. Statistics Denmark has carried out the survey from 2018-2023 and in 2024-, while previous surveys have been carried out by the Ministry of Culture. The survey has been carried out with a new questionnaire since the first quarter of 2024, and is therefore not directly comparable with previous versions.

Zoological gardens

The purpose of the statistics is to describe the yearly opening hours and the number of visitors to Zoos, Aquariums and Botanical gardens. The statistics has been compiled since 1985. From 2021 there are only zoos and aquariums included in the statistics
