The park covers about 13 hectares and was laid out in the early 1900s by garden engineer L. Chr. Diederichsen together with Queen Alexandrine. It is in the English style, with large lawns surrounded by trees and small lakes. There is a rose garden, a herb garden and several artworks, including the sculpture Marcelisa by Miguel Berrocal and Peter Brandes' 4.78-metre Marselisborg jar. Grand Passeurer, a six-metre bronze by Nicolas Lavarenne, stands in a lake as a ferryman pushing a punt.
The garden is open to the public when the royal family is not staying at Marselisborg Palace. The entrance is wheelchair accessible.
