I'm sick this week, so you get a simple one I really enjoyed drawing.
Denmark's park, Bakken, is so old it started out as a clean spring that people went to for water, then performers started entertaining the visitors, then food stalls were built and finally people started building amusement rides. It was just a natural thing that happened and somehow it kept going to this day. You have to pay for the rides but you can still get into the park for free and just wander around because that's how it has always been.
Knott's Berry Farm (California) started out like Bakken (but several hundred years younger). As the name implies, it was a berry farm. The family fruit stand grew into a restaurant, and Knott added rides (and moved an entire ghost town from the desert!) to entertain the people waiting for a table. I don't know when they started charging admission for the amusement park. The berry farm is long gone, but the restaurant is still there.

For me as foreigner the most famous would be Legoland. I've been there only once though (we have our own, but from my State the one in Denmark is much closer).
@DanishPride that's right. Tivoli is the best known.
I was astonished how small it is...and that it's nearly in the middle of the city...!
Don't know if Legoland at Billund counts, i.m.o. it's more s.k.o. theme-park...?

The movies of director Anders Thomas Jensen, especially his theatrical debut Blinkende lygter (Flickering Lights), are treated as typical examples of modern Danish comedy, though we do have more lighthearted comedy as well.
I could try explain the aforementioned movie to you, but you'll get a better understanding of it by looking it up yourself. :P
@EricTheRedAndWhite Dark humor is very prevalent in here. I think it mostly stems from mind set of "Yeah the situation is shitty but there is something funny about it" dark humor and there is the "I know I shouldn't laugh to that because it is kinda bad but..."
Oddly Icelandic people like the dark humor just like we do.
