Bell and Shepard's Danish Adventure with Kids

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard recently enjoyed a unique vacation experience with their kids, Lincoln (11) and Delta (9), in Denmark. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bell humorously remarked that family trips often feel less like vacations and more like managing kids in a new environment. Kimmel agreed, saying it can be even more challenging than staying home.

To keep their children entertained, the family chose a hotel in Copenhagen that is adjacent to Tivoli Gardens, a historic amusement park that inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland. Bell recalled taking a bold approach to free-range parenting, allowing the kids to wake up early, scan their wristbands, and roam the park freely for hours.

She described the experience as "heaven," with the adults enjoying coffee and card games while occasionally checking on the kids, who would return needing minor assistance like Band-Aids. "They’re both alive," Bell quipped about their adventurous day.

Bell highlighted the value of travel in shaping her children's perspectives. She mentioned that each summer, the family picks a new destination where they embrace the unfamiliar—different languages, foods, and customs—as a way to expand their horizons.

In another part of the interview, Bell shared a funny memory from a silent disco they attended with Kimmel. Kimmel recalled that Shepard danced with such enthusiasm that he sweated through his headphones, joking they might need to be discarded. Bell added that Shepard danced so hard his shirt actually came off, leading people to back away in confusion over his soaked appearance.

Finally, Bell announced the premiere of her new romantic comedy series, Nobody Wants This, on Netflix on September 26.
