The main attraction in Billund, Denmark, is Legoland. The gates of this theme park first began bringing joy to children and adults alike on 7 June 1968. Today, it welcomes around 2 million visitors every year. It is the oldest and very first Legoland in the world.

You can get here with a short walk or an even quicker bus ride from Billund Airport ( BLL).

It’s a classic theme park full of rollercoasters for both children and adults, as well as all sorts of attractions. Legoland is distinctive in that you’ll find lots of characters and machines built from Lego bricks, and the whole park is themed around these colourful bricks.

The whole complex is divided into several sections:

• Miniland – a sprawling yet miniature town boasting not only small houses lining the canals, but also moving models such as aeroplanes at the airport, trains, boats and even a space shuttle. All made from Lego, of course.
• Duplo Land – for the very youngest visitors, there’s a lovely park full of climbing frames, slides and mock-ups of a hospital, a police station and a farm with a tractor.
• Legoredo Town – this typical Western-style town is full of shops and cafés, cowboys and one of the fastest rollercoasters, the ‘Hawk’. Pan for gold, go kayaking (ideally in warm weather) and don’t let the bandits rob you.
• Polar Land – warm clothing isn’t essential. One of Legoland’s biggest rollercoasters will keep you plenty warm. Take a seat in front of the penguin tank and unpack your snacks before continuing on your way.

Many more attractions await you in the NinjaGo World, The Lego Movie World, Knight’s Kingdom, Pitate Land and Adventure Land sections. The park also features a room full of Nintendo video games and an underwater world with a 4D cinema and, of course, live sea creatures.

How can you save money when visiting Legoland?

On the Legolandholidays.dk website, you’ll also find the option to purchase packages including hotel accommodation and a park ticket. Compared to previous years, this option is no longer as good a deal, and depending on how you’ve planned your days in Billund, it may even be a disadvantage.

The package is worth it if you’re planning to spend just one day at Legoland. In that case, you’ll save exactly 41 eur (regardless of the number of adults and children) during your stay. However, if you want to make the most of a two-day visit to the park, it’s better to book accommodation and tickets separately.
