Greetings, fellow LEGO enthusiasts and curious adventurers! If you’re planning a trip to the enchanting LEGO wonderland in Billund, Denmark, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, I’ll share 23 essential tips that will ensure your LEGO experience in Billund is nothing short of extraordinary.
Before You Go to Billund
- Plan Ahead: Before setting off on your journey, check the operating hours and any special events at LEGOLAND, LEGO House, and the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel. Having a rough itinerary is always a good idea to ensure you make the most of your time.
- Book in Advance: To secure the best rates and availability, book your accommodations and tickets for LEGOLAND and LEGO House well in advance. This will also save you time standing in lines on the day of your visit.
- Pack Smart: Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll likely be exploring the theme park and other attractions for extended periods. Bring layers, as the weather in Denmark can be unpredictable. And don’t forget your camera to capture all the magical moments!
- Come with the Right Currency: Denmark uses the Danish Krone DKK. Denmark is part of Europe but does not use the euro.
- Water and Snacks: Staying hydrated and keeping hunger at bay are essential for a fun-filled day.
Making the Most of LEGOLAND
6. Early Bird Catches the Brick: Arrive early at LEGOLAND to maximise your time on the rides and attractions.
7. LEGOLAND Mobile App: Download the LEGOLAND app for up-to-date information on showtimes, ride wait times, and an interactive map of the park. It will be your trusty guide throughout your LEGOLAND adventure.
8. Bring Your Waterproofs: If you’re not a fan of getting wet, then come prepared for the splashing rides!
9. Stay at the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel: For an enchanting and immersive experience, book a stay at the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel. Choose a themed room that suits your family’s interests, and make the most of the hotel’s exclusive offerings.
10. Safety First: Keep an eye on your little ones at all times, especially in crowded areas. Familiarise yourself with the park’s safety guidelines and procedures to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit.
11. Use Fast Passes: Consider purchasing Fast Passes at LEGOLAND to skip the regular lines on popular rides. It’s an excellent way to save time and experience more attractions.
12. Order a “Show Consideration Wristband” online: If your child has a hidden disability or a diagnosis such as anxiety, autism or ADHD, you can get a wristband to skip the queues.
Visiting LEGO House
13. Buy your Lego sets at the Lego House: If you’re planning on visiting the Lego House, then know that some of the sets there are cheaper than at Legoland.
14. Explore LEGO House: Spend quality time at LEGO House by visiting during non-peak hours to enjoy the interactive exhibits without crowds. The Creative Zones can get busy, so plan your visit accordingly.
15. Capture the Magic: Create lasting memories by taking photos throughout your trip. From LEGO sculptures to your family’s joyous faces, these pictures will be cherished for years to come.
Enjoying the Billund Experience
16. Learn About LEGO History: At LEGO House, take the time to explore the history of the LEGO Group, the story of its founder, and the journey of the iconic LEGO brick. It’s an inspiring experience for LEGO enthusiasts of all ages.
17. Take Breaks: Pace yourselves and take breaks when needed. Visiting theme parks and interactive exhibits can be exciting but also exhausting. Rest and recharge to make the most of your adventure.
18. Talk to the Staff: The employees at Lego House are very friendly and happy to interact with everyone. My son spent an hour speaking to one about anything related to Lego, from creativity to work conditions!
19. Immerse Yourself: Don’t hold back on the fun! Embrace your inner child, build, create, and let your imagination run wild. The LEGO experiences in Billund are designed for everyone to enjoy, so make the most of this magical journey.
20. Enjoy the rides, then visit Mini Legoland: The rides close before the park, so make the most of the rides first, then get an ice cream and enjoy a stroll among Lego builds.
Quick Tips for a Smoother Stay in Lego Town
21. Display your parking ticket: when staying at a Legoland hotel, get your parking ticket from the hotel reception, then display it on your car dashboard so you avoid a fine.
22. Plan your Dinner: Restaurants close relatively early in Billund, around 9 pm.
23. Get a customised Lego Figurine with your name on it: The Lego House Shop has a new machine that prints your design on the Lego figurine body. It takes a few minutes to print, so do not leave it until closing time to get it.
With these travel tips in your arsenal, your family trip to Billund will undoubtedly be filled with laughter, excitement, and treasured moments you’ll cherish forever.
