Visste du att Danmarks största turistattraktion utanför Köpenhamn är ... LEGOLAND®? Visst nog har LEGOLAND Billund, den ursprungliga LEGOLAND-parken, haft mer än 50 miljoner besökare sedan den öppnades 1968. Parken ligger intill den ursprungliga LEGO®-fabriken och är modellen för alla LEGOLAND-parker som sedan dess har varit byggd. LEGOLAND Billund har flera olika områden att utforska, med 'Miniland' som det mest ikoniska - förmodligen för att det består av miljontals LEGO-tegelstenar. 'Minland' är i princip hela världen i miniatyrform: berömda byggnader, huvudstäder, små städer massor av andra coola platser byggda av mer än 20 miljoner legobitar. Mindre barn kommer att tycka om att leka, utforska och upptäcka "Duplo Land", som är särskilt inriktat på de små killarna. 'Polar Land' är naturfokuserat och du kommer sannolikt att bli våt på 'Pirate Land'. 'Imagination Zone' har levande hajar, jätte krabbor, en orkestervattenbrunn och en 4D-biograf som engagerar alla dina sinnen med surroundljud, två hundra projektorer och rökmaskiner.
The theme park is organized into 11 areas with themed rides and attractions. Among them are Adventure Land, Knight’s Kingdom, Pirate Land, and Miniland, where cities and landmarks are built in miniature. The park is large, with dozens of rides, and requires at least a full day to visit—tickets grant admission for one day, two days, or the entire season, and can also grant entry to the LEGO® House, another LEGO®-themed attraction in Billund.
Children under three can enter LEGOLAND® free of charge.
LEGOLAND® has wheelchairs available for booking up to one month in advance. You can also bring your own.
The park has multiple dining options, including a family buffet, burger joints, a barbecue saloon, a pizza parlor, and a coffee shop.
The park makes accommodations for visits with special needs and has accessible rides, restrooms, and parking.

Billund has more than one LEGO®-themed attraction. The LEGO® House, which lies in the center of Billund not far from LEGOLAND® and the brand’s corporate headquarters. The building is itself designed to look like it’s been built with staggered LEGO blocks—inside, you can check out the LEGO® Museum, exhibits of intricate LEGO® creations made by adults, and “experience zones” with educational, interactive activities designed for kids.
