Park sections
The park is divided into 8 sections, all containing a different theme. There is also a 9th section reserved for the waterpark.
Bondegårdsland
Bondegårdsland (English: Farmland) opened in 2015 and replaced the Lilleputland children's area. It thus takes up this same role, containing mostly kids and small family rides. The land has a farm theme, as opposed to Lilleputland which was unthemed. The theming of the area was designed by the Leisure Expert Group and manufactured by MK Themed Attractions.
The land has a total of 11 rides and 2 food stalls.

Dinosaurland
Dinosaurland opened in 2022 and replaced the Afrikaland area that used to occupy this area. Afrikaland was closed after the park faced criticism for stereotypes of African people in 2015,[1] with Dinosaurland eventually becoming the land's replacement. The story of the land sees guests entering a digsite for dinosaur fossils, led by a company named Dino Inc. Though it seems that there is more going on as living dinosaurs have been sighted in the area. The theming of the area was designed by the Leisure Expert Group and manufactured by MK Themed Attractions and Petro Art Productions.
The land has a total of 5 rides, a playground and a food stall.

Mexicoland
This area of the park is themed to western idea's of Mexico and the Mexican culture. It opened in 1994 and featured a minigolf course and a labyrinth upon opening. This labyrinth would be removed at the end of the 2003 season to make way for Speedy Gonzales. Mexicana Golf had its size reduced after the 2023 season to make way for El Grito.
Mexicoland has taken up parts of Sommerland in its expansions, with the exceptions of El Grito and Speedy Gonzales. Those rides stayed within the at that point determined boundaries of the area.
The land has a total of 4 rides, a minigolf course and 2 food stalls.

Piratland
Piratland (English: Pirateland) was the park's first big expansion, taking up the space of a former parking lot when it opened in 2008. It would only feature Piraten and a ship themed playground upon opening, but many heavy expansions led the way for the area. The playground would eventually be removed at the end of the 2015 season to make way for further development of the area. It would be replaced by Piratlegeplads, a smaller playground. The theming of the area was manufactured by MK Themed Attractions.
A fire broke out at the Pirate Food Market in October 2020, damaging the building beyond repair.[2] It would be quickly rebuild in the offseason, with theming produced by Petro Art Productions.
The land has a total of 6 rides, a playground and 3 food stalls.
