A Local’s Ultimate Guide to The LEGO House Home of the Brick
The LEGO House Home of the Brick is a must-see attraction for all LEGO fans! I would even argue it is a must-see attraction for anyone who doesn’t think they are a LEGO fan because The LEGO House is really THAT cool.
The LEGO House is located in Denmark in a small and unassuming town called Billund. Billund is actually the birthplace of LEGO clear back in 1932! And, Billund is still the current home of LEGO headquarters. Keep a lookout around town as you are bound to spot a LEGO designer!
I have visited The LEGO House dozens of times and I have explored every nook and cranny (and it hasn’t gotten old yet!). So, I’m here to give you all of the local tips to make sure you have an amazing experience at The LEGO House.
Personally, I would visit The LEGO House over Legoland any day. However, there are plenty of merits that go to both ( for example, I have a season pass to both). But, if you only have one day to spend in Billund, I recommend The LEGO House 100%.
How to get to The LEGO House Home of the Brick
Even though The LEGO House is located in a small rural town (Billund) in Denmark- it’s VERY easy to get to. (Insert cheers 🎉). Because Billund is home to its very own international airport! Billund is also a bus ride away from a train station.
Plane
The Billund international airport is not some small airport with sky-high prices. In fact, you can find some great deals into Billund from other European cities on the low-cost airline, Ryanair!
The airport is a short, 5-minute drive away from the city center where The LEGO House resides. From the airport, you can either rent a car, take a taxi, ride a bus, or a ride free city shuttle (only during peak summer season).
The buses are located directly outside of the arrival terminal (you can’t miss them). I am almost certain all buses that leave the airport make their first stop at Billund Centret (Billund Center). Billund Center is about a block away from The LEGO House.
You can simply ask the bus driver if they will be making a stop there. Also, most buses only accept cash. So you will want to swing by an ATM and grab a few Danish Kroner. It will cost you about 24 DKK ($4) per adult or 12 DKK ($2) per child.
Train
The closest train station to Billund is Vejle Station. This is a good option if you are traveling from Copenhagen and don’t want to rent a car. Copenhagen Central (København H) station is only a 2-hour train ride to Vejle Station.
If this is what you choose to do, you will then need to catch a 45-minute bus from the Vejle Station to Billund Center (Billund Centret). The buses are located out the main doors and to the left at the bus terminal.
I like to use my GoogleMaps app to get directions by bus. You search by transit instead of car and it will give you directions and will show the bus/metro/train numbers etc. However, you must have data or wifi to be able to do this.
You will need to check with your phone carrier what your international data options. T-Mobile has great international options and Denmark may already be included in your plan.
PRO-TIP: Train tickets from Copenhagen to Vejle can be expensive if you buy them the day-of. You will want to purchase the tickets a couple of months in advance if possible. You can purchase your tickets here.
Car
The LEGO House makes a great stop on any Denmark or European road trip. And, the LEGO House has a great parking structure only a 2-minute walk from the building. The first two hours are free and only 15 DKK (about $2.50) per hour after that.

Stroller/Baby Information
The LEGO House is stroller-friendly. However, you will not be able to ascend the main staircase which wraps around the giant LEGO Tree of Creativity. You will need to take the elevator with your stroller between each floor.
I have brought our stroller many times to The LEGO House and it has not been an issue. We love our Baby Trend Expedition Travel System since it comes with a compatible car seat for when our babe was really little (and the price is insanely reasonable).
And, I have used both my Beco Gemini Baby Carrier and our ring sling while playing at The LEGO House. These carriers are great if you want to be hands-free and to be able to walk all the main staircases (like the stairs that wrap around the Tree of Creativity).
We initially bought this Infantino Carrier, however, we definitely prefer our more supportive Beco Baby Carrier option and our ring sling. The ring sling was perfect for when our baby was younger and she wanted an extra cozy space to hang out. I highly recommend investing in both types of carriers.
Diaper Changing/Mother’s Lounge
The LEGO House has great diaper changing facilities (for both mom and dad). And there is a nice mother’s lounge with two comfortable nursing/feeding chairs and an area to warm up formula.
The mother’s lounge is located in the restrooms on the main floor. This is good to know since there aren’t very many comfortable nursing options in the play area of The LEGO House.
And now onto everything The LEGO House Home of the Brick offers! What you must see, do, and eat!
The LEGO House History Collection
The LEGO History Collection is the ONLY official public LEGO museum in the world (wow!). Should I say that again? This is a big deal for a LEGO fan. And, this beautiful collection is located in the basement of The LEGO House (no extra admittance fee required!).
This area of The LEGO House Home of the Brick is so unique and you NEED to make sure you make time to visit it.
Here you will learn how almost 100 years ago a small carpentry shop in rural Denmark became one of the biggest toy brands in the world! With, original wood toys and hundreds of iconic LEGO sets are on display!
There is also a digital vault featuring ALL of the LEGO sets… ever. On a screen, you can search by year and scroll through set images to find your favorite past sets!
Something I find fun is to look up the year you were born to see what LEGO was working on then.
I recommend visiting the history collection first thing to ensure that you don’t run out of time/energy before seeing it. It only takes about 30 minutes (longer or shorter depending on your interest). Seeing the collection first will give you some good background to greater appreciate the rest of your experience at The LEGO House.
I know, I know, some of you will be traveling with kids that may not be so interested in the history collection. If this is the case, you could take turns with other adult members of your group to go see the collection one at a time. Or, just use good old-fashioned bribery 😆.
PRO-TIP: The main staircase you see upon entering (that wraps around the giant LEGO tree) does NOT take you to the History Collection. This makes it easy to miss. You must take the elevator or the staircase next to the stairs.

The Tree of Creativity
The Tree of Creativity is LEGO’s LARGEST brick sculpture in the ENTIRE WORLD. THE ENTIRE WORLD. What? Wow. The tree is over 50 ft (15 meters) tall and is the height of many floors! Also, the tree is made up of a whopping 6,316,611 LEGO bricks (that’s over 6 million bricks!).
You can get up close to the tree as you ascend the staircase that circles the Tree of Creativity and takes you to the top level of The LEGO House. Be sure to look for ‘carvings’ in the tree trunk.
The Masterpiece Gallery
The Masterpiece Gallery is a beautiful gallery located at the top of The LEGO House with rotating LEGO model displays. All of the LEGO models displayed in the Masterpiece Gallery are created by Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs).
This is another one of my favorite areas. I am amazed at the talent of these LEGO fans!

The LEGO House Experience Zones
Alright, this is where the magic happens. The LEGO House is made up of four ‘Experience Zones’. However, this number is underselling the experience zones because there are a total of 16 amazing and unique activities within these four zones!
The 16 activities are:
- LEGO Rainbow Waterfall
- Guided seasonal building activity
- Rainbow DUPLO pit
- Car jumping and racing track
- City planning and building
- Giant DUPLO train play area
- Remote-control robot expedition
- Minifigure building
- Stop-motion animation
- Impressive LEGO city display
- DUPLO animal play area
- Dancing bug building
- Insect racing
- Flower garden
- DUPLO butterfly pit
- LEGO aquarium
These areas are where you will be spending the majority of your time at The LEGO House. There are so many bricks to build with and unique experiences to be had that you could spend hours to days here. I took my mom (not a regular LEGO builder) and we spent three hours playing. So, if you are a group that LOVES LEGO, you will want to allow for more time.
PRO-TIP: Even though it may be tempting to hang out for hours in the first areas you come to… DON’T. Remember there are SIXTEEN activities to enjoy (not counting the museum, gallery, or roof)!
The LEGO House Home of the Brick Rooftop Terraces
You have to save time to experience the amazing rooftop terraces at The LEGO House. There are multiple amazing playgrounds, a fun swingset with views of Billund, and large glass windows looking into The LEGO House!
From the very tip-top of the LEGO House, you can climb on eight HUGE white brick studs! And, you can look down into The LEGO House if you are brave enough! There is also a great view of the new and unique LEGO campus.
Some rooftop areas are only available from within The LEGO House. However, to get all the way to the roof (and some of the coolest play areas) you must start climbing up from OUTSIDE either the large yellow or blue steps.
PRO-TIP: There are a few entrances to rooftop play areas from within the four experience zones. These rooftop play areas are a great way to escape with a wound-up toddler while the rest of the group continues to play inside.
Where to Eat
The LEGO House is home to two eateries. One restaurant called MINI CHEF and one cafe called BRICKACCINO.
MINI CHEF
Eating at MINI CHEF is all about the experience. First, you order your meal with four LEGO bricks representing specific menu items. Then, you scan the order at your table. When your food is ready, you pick up your food from the counter from a conveyer belt that ends at two robots.
MINI CHEF is more expensive than BRICKACCINO, but many people find it worth it for the fun experience. However, if you are looking to save some money this isn’t the best option. Currently, adults are 169 DKK and children are 98 DKK. That is around $28 and $16 each 😬.
MINI CHEF also has options for vegan-eaters and what appears to be gluten-free options. You can view the menu here. and book a table here. It is a good idea to book a table, especially during peak holidays. No one wants to wait in line to eat when they are hangry.
BRICKACCINO
BRICKACCINO is my favorite place to eat at The LEGO House. The prices are very reasonable and the service is quick. They also have options for the vegan or gluten-free eater in your group.
You can buy yummy paninis, salads, smoothies, cold/warm drinks, and lots of snacks and sides (including fruits and vegetables).
Enjoy a picnic lunch
The LEGO House also allows you to bring in your own food to eat on their picnic tables within The LEGO House! This is a great option to save money or to satisfy the picky eaters in your group. We have done this many times.
PRO-TIP: On a warm day, you can also enjoy your picnic lunch outside on the huge yellow or blue steps that climb up the side of The LEGO House! This way any young ones in the group can play while you eat.
Buy Exclusive LEGO Sets at The LEGO Store
The LEGO House has an awesome LEGO store on the main floor. You can buy exclusive sets that you can ONLY purchase at The LEGO House.
The current exclusive LEGO House sets are the LEGO House architecture set, the LEGO House dinosaurs (from the masterpiece gallery) and the LEGO History Wooden Duck. However, like all LEGO sets, these will eventually retire and be replaced with new sets. Remember, you can’t buy these sets anywhere else!
This LEGO store also has an exclusive make your own ‘minifigure factory’ with exclusive LEGO House accessories and a ‘mosaic maker’ where you can purchase your own mosaic portrait.
Best way to buy tickets for The LEGO House
You will want to purchase your tickets in advance to save money and ensure the tickets don’t sell out. Or if you plan to visit both The LEGO House Home of the Brick and LEGOland, you can buy a LEGO House/Legoland combination ticket here.

My son (22 year old lego obsessive kid) and I will be in Billund in May. We are trying to decide how long to spend at Legoland/Legohouse. We can be at the park/house by 12pm on Sunday, a full day Monday and Tuesday, and will we need another full day on Wednesday? The parks and house have limited hours 10a-4pm. He is worried that 6hrs is not enough time to fully experience and spend time building with Legos at Legohouse. If we spent the partial Sunday and a full day at Legohouse, would that be enough? Would one full day (again 10-4p) be enough at Legoland? or should we spend Sunday/Monday at Legoland and Tuesday/Wed at Legohouse?
jenessa
CarolynHey Carolyn! Sounds like a great trip 🙂 Timing of course depends on personal preference so that being said I think he may like 1.5 days at the LEGO House and the other day at Legoland. If he wants to build at every one of the experiences at The LEGO House plus see the museum in the basement and check out the rooftop it can take awhile 🙂 I think one day at Legoland would be enough especially since I’m assuming you wouldn’t be doing as many of the rides for small kids. Have a great trip!
Alma
Hello, we have tickets to visit Lego House with 12-12:15 entry time. We would like to have lunch at the Mini Chef during our visit. Is it possible to leave and have a meal at the Mini Chef, say around 1:30, then go back in to complete our visit to the Lego House? In short, do they allow re-entry, after a quick meal at the Mini Chef the same day? Thanks for your helpful guide!
jenessa
AlmaHey Alma 🙂 Yes, you can go out and in as many times as you would like after your entry time just by scanning your wristband. Have a great time!
Pao
Hi Janessa! What a complete and wonderful guide! I am trying to purchase tickets from the website and it asks me to pick an entry hour:
Experience Zones, entry between 10:30 – 10:45
Does that mean that we can only enter to the experience zones at that time slot? Or is it just the time we can enter the whole Lego House? I got confused. There are 5 time slots in the morning and 1 in the afternoon… thanks a lot!
jenessa
PaoHey Pao 🙂 Glad to hear it’s been helpful. Your entrance time is just for the entire LEGO House. They just call the part that you enter ‘the experience zones’. Have fun!
Susanne
Hello! My family and I have two days in Billund, is it worth it to go to the LEGO House for two days or one at that house and the other at Legoland? Thanks 🙂
jenessa
SusanneHey Susanne! I think one full day at the LEGO House is enough 🙂 You could go to Legoland or if your kids like outdoor play, WOW Park is really amazing. Have fun!
Jonah
Our family is going to go to the LEGO House as super LEGO fans for at least one day, but we have another day in Billund. Is there enough stuff to do at the LEGO House for anther full day or would you suggest going to Legoland or something else in the Billund area? Thanks 🙂
jenessa
JonahHey Jonah! I would suggest one day for LEGO House and the other day spent either at Legoland or WOW Park if your kids like outdoor play. If you have a car and are looking for a good day trip, the west coast beaches are beautiful on a warm day (like Henne Strande or Blåvand). Have fun!
Amanda
Hi, Jenessa! I *think* I’ve convinced my husband to make the drive from CPH to Billund at the start of our holiday in CPH (visiting from Seattle, BTW). Our flight get in at 6:20 and I am hoping we can be on the road by 7:00 am (no checked bags; just need to grab the rental car). Hoping to make it to LEGO House by the opening at 10 am. Do you know if we reserve a 10 am entry if there is a grace period? I can’t find any info on the website about a grace period, so I’m hoping you have some insider info. Google maps indicates it could take 2.5-3.5 hours, and I am afraid we might miss our entry. Maybe we should play it safe and choose 11 am? Thanks for this awesome post!
jenessa
AmandaHey Amanda! The automatic machines won’t let you enter BEFORE your alloted time, but you can enter anytime AFTER your allotted time. I would be pretty shocked if were are able to get to the LEGO House by 10 am, so I think an 11 am entry time would be totally fine. Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
Emily
Hi, Jenessa! My family of six will be in Billund for the day in June. My children are older and are more interested in the history collection and visiting the store. We don’t need tickets for the four experience zones (as fun as they look!). I see that you can visit Lego House without tickets, but I wasn’t sure if we could have access to the history collection if we don’t have tickets. Any thoughts? Thank you!
jenessa
EmilyHey Emily! Correct, you can visit the LEGO House store and the roof of the LEGO House without a ticket. However, everything else (including the history collection) requires a ticket. Keep in mind that the LEGO Store is not super big (especially compared to large stores in big cities) and I think once you get to the LEGO House you’re going to want to have the full experience. I have taken many adults to the LEGO House who are not necessarily even LEGO fans and they have spent HOURS in all of the different experience zones. If your kids feel like it would be a childish experience- let them know it won’t be. There are also fan-made creations throughout the entire LEGO house including in the gallery on the top floor that are really neat to see (which requires a ticket). Let me know if you have any other questions!
Rebecca
Hello, thanks for all this information! We have a Lego-obsessed 13-year-old and want to visit Lego House at the start or end of our time in Europe this summer. Our options are a Monday in late June (June 24) or a Saturday in early July (July 6). Is it likely to be a lot more crowded on the Saturday in July, enough to change the experience of visiting? Thanks from California, US!
jenessa
RebeccaHey Rebecca! I would say the July visit will be a bit busier than the June visit (especially since it’s a Saturday) but either way you’ll have a great time:) Enjoy!
Robin
Do you think there is much difference between days of the week to visit Lego House in early August, or will it be equally crowded on a Sunday as say a Tuesday>
jenessa
RobinI think it will be pretty similar- you’ll just want to make sure purchase your tickets in advance either way because they are known to sell out that time of year ( a few weeks in advance should be plenty of time time).
Yvette
When is the best time apart from summer to visit Lego House? I want to visit early next year
thanks 😊
jenessa
YvetteHey Yvette! If you only plan to visit the Lego House and aren’t looking to do other things in Billund or Denmark then anytime of year is a great time. You’ll just want to make sure you check the opening hours on the Lego House website because it’s sometimes closed on random days in the winter/spring. If you are wanting to visit other things in Billund or Denmark I’d wait to come as close to summer as possible, maybe April at the earliest. The closer to summer the higher chances of better weather. Have a great time!
Vikki
We are thinking about a cruise that stops in Aarhus-is it possible to get to the Lego house from there? The cruise line offers an excursion to Legoland, but this looks wayyyyy better! Thank you!
jenessa
VikkiHey Vikki! Sounds like a fun time! Getting to Billund from Aarhus via public transit is a bit tricky since we don’t have a train station in Billund, so it requires a combination of a train and bus and will take about 2.5+ hours one way. You could get a taxi from Aarhus to billund that will take just over an hour (but will be quite expensive both ways). Another idea is that if the excursion to legoland does not include tickets to legoland, you could book it for the transport and then walk to lego house which is about 15-20 minutes walk away from legoland. Good luck!
Dominique
Thanks for this awesome guide! Do you have any suggestions of great places to eat in Billund outside of the Lego facilities?
jenessa
DominiqueHey Dominique. You’re welcome! I hope you have a great trip to Billund. Most of the restaurants in Billund have a similar menu serving a plethora of dishes that include pizza, pasta, steak and burgers (aimed to satisfy tourists coming from all over Europe). Gastropub is one of the newer restaurants, however, it’s quite pricey for something as simple as a burger but it does have a nice atmosphere. Atami is a popular sushi/chinese food establishment. And if you are looking for something cheap and quick, try Billund Grill. They serve hamburgers and traditional Danish hot dogs. Best of luck!
Amanda
Such a helpful great post. Thank you!
jenessa
AmandaHey Amanda! Great to hear 🙂 I hope you have a great trip to The LEGO House!
Megan
Hi – We are visiting Billund in July for 1 day to visit the Lego House. How much time do you recommend for the Lego House with a 5-year-old? Thanks!
jenessa
MeganHey Megan! If your 5-year-old really likes LEGO and loves playing, you could spend the whole day there (10 am- 4 pm). I’d recommend getting there at opening and just see how it goes 🙂
Dawn Wright
Thank you for all of this amazing information!I would like to visit LEGO House in 2024 but their website doesn’t indicate any open dates. I’ve signed up for their newsletter, but do you know how far in advance they make tickets available? Thanks so much!
jenessa
Dawn WrightHey Dawn- Sounds fun! Looks like their calendar currently goes 6 months out so I’d imagine the tickets will be available about 6 months before your visit. Have fun!
Mel Ruiz
Thanks so much for your information! If we have the earliest ticket time (10am), how early would you recommend we arrive to ensure we are ready to enter by 10am?
jenessa
Mel RuizHey Mel- you shouldn’t need to arrive much earlier than 10. However, if you want to arrive early, the doors open at 9:30 am to the LEGO Store and the small cafe there. Have fun!
Susan Taylor
Thanks so much for all the amazingly useful information! I think I would like to fly into Billund. Can you please advise on how to best get to Copenhagen from Billund? Do the trains and busses work daily? Can you advise of days and times they don’t operate? I have a cruise I need to get to in Copenhagen and don’t want to be stranded. There seems to be lots of information on getting “to” Billund but not much on the reverse trip to Copenhagen.
jenessa
Susan TaylorHey Susan- sounds like a great plan to visit Billund before your cruise departs. You will need to take a bus from Billund Center to Vejle and then catch the train from Vejle Station to Copenhagen Central Station (København H). I like to use the public transit feature on GoogleMaps to help me plan a route- You can put Billund to Copenhagen and it will help give you some ideas. If you need to travel extremely early or late the bus may not be running. Another option is to search FlixBus from Billund to Copenhagen or Vejle to Copenhagen. Flixbus has a much more limited schedule but if you can catch one from the Billund Airport to Copenhagen it would be much more simple plus ticket prices are usually really inexpensive. Good luck!
iveta muizniece
Hello Jenessa!
Thank you for reply on previous question:)
I have another one:) They are talking about downloading pictures from visit. Does it mean someone takes pictures of you and you pay to download them? Can I use my own phone to take pictures in experience zones?
Thank you.
jenessa
iveta muiznieceThere’s nobody taking pictures of you at the Lego House, but they do have a few kiosks throughout where you can scan your wristbrand and have a photo taken of your lego creation (or similar things like that). You can definitely take all of your own photos (and you should!).
iveta muizniece
jenessaThank you very much for info:0
Izz
Hi!!!! finding your blog post was the best thing!! I’m planing a trip to Copenhagen and Billund in June, with the kids, very exited lego lovers, the the train website doesn’t seem to work right now , but I’ll keep trying.
What do you think of staying in Lalalandia and visiting Lego House, my kids are 12 and 8.
thanks so much!!
jenessa
IzzI’m happy to hear it’s been helpful to you 🙂 Sounds like you will have a great time! Staying at Lalandia could be a good option 🙂 You may have a bit of a walk to the Lego House from the Lalandia Cottages, but it is close to Legoland if you also plan to visit there. If you stay at Lalandia you’ll also get admission to their indoor waterpark which is really fun. Have a great time!
iveta muizniece
Hi Jenesse!
Could you please tell me about lockers in Lego House? If we come straight from airport, will there be enough space to leave bags, jackets?
Thank you:)
jenessa
iveta muiznieceHi there! You can definitely come straight from the airport. The standard-sized lockers would fit a large backpack or small duffel but the double-sized lockers which are on the back row would fit a large suitcase or two carry-ons. Have a great time!
Lauren
I would love “Pro-tips” for traveling and visiting with special needs children, 1 who is autistic. Tips about areas that could be overwhelming, sensory friendly activities, how/when to avoid longer lines, less busy times of the year, areas where we can calm down and decompress, are there multi-day passes, any other accommodations?
Thanks!
jenessa
LaurenHey Lauren, I hope you come to Billund and that you have a great time 🙂 The LEGO House has a sunflower lanyard you can pick up from reception which is made specifically for those with ‘invisible disabilities’ which helps employees know to be mindful and look out for any extra help you may need. You can read more about it here. I’d steer clear of visiting all weekends and the entire month of July. Plus all other Danish school holiday weeks which are a week in October, February, April, and May (you can find the specific dates by googling Danish School holidays for year X (input the year you’re visiting). If you plan to visit Legoland as well, all of the same tips apply.
The history collection in the basement of The LEGO House is a dark and usually very quiet area. It’s one of the very few non-stimulating areas of LEGO House and a great place to go to get away from the noise when needed. There are also outdoor playgrounds throughout the LEGO House you can access if you need some fresh hair and to get some wiggles out. Therearen’t usually too many people using them. I’m not sure what classifies as a sensory-friendly activities, but the entire LEGO House is very hands on with Lego bricks.
If you want the full LEGO experience you can stay at the Legoland hotel or if you have a car, there are a few Airbnbs in the area where you’ll be able to save a lot of money by make a short drive into Billund.
You can find all of the ticket combinations here. An annual pass may be worth it if you plan to visit 2+ times.
Jamie Grant
Jenessa, is there an option to tour or view the manufaturing or design areas? My son is now 18 and preparing to go to engineering school and would love to see how they are actually made and all the machines that make the bricks!
jenessa
Jamie GrantHey Jamie! The LEGO House has one brick-making machine where you can see lego bricks being made (plus you get to keep a pack of 6-bricks made from that machine as a free souvenir). However, if you want a factory tour you can book the LEGO Fan Tour or the LEGO Insider Tour on the Lego House website (it’s under the ‘what’s on’ tab). Have a great time!
Amy
Is it possible to ship our purchases back the the United States directly from the LEGO House? Trying to figure out the best way to get them home without hurting them 🙂 or paying a fortune for baggage.
jenessa
AmyHey Amy- Unfortunately, it is not possible to ship back to the US from the LEGO House. If you don’t mind about losing the boxes, you can always take the LEGO bags and instructions out of the box and you’ll be able to fit much more in your luggage. Good luck!
Abi
Do you happen to know if you can use the City Pass X-Large to get from Copenhagen to the Lego House (city center)?
jenessa
AbiHey Abi 🙂 No, the City Pass X-Large does not include Billund (Where the Lego House is located). If you want to travel by public transit to Billund you will need to buy a train ticket from DSB.dk (or from the DSB app) from København H (Copenhagen Central) to Vejle St. You will then need to take a bus from Vejle St. to Billund Centret. The entire journey will take about 3.5-4 hours. I recommend buying the train ticket from Copenhagen to Vejle as far in advance as possible as the ticket prices do increase as you get closer to departure. However, if you rent a car and drive it take about 3 hours and there are great places to visit along the way like the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum or Egeskov Castle. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Des
AbiThoughts about visiting between Xmas and NYE? Seems it will be closed all if January? Kids are 6&8
jenessa
DesHey Des, if you will be visiting Denmark just to see The LEGO House- then a visit between Christmas and New Years would be no problem! However, if you are making a big trip and want to see more of Denmark, I would personally choose either earlier in December so that you can also catch the Christmas festivities in Copenhagen. Or I’d choose to come in the spring/summer to be able to also visit Legoland along with the LEGO House.
Carolyn
Hello! Where do you recommend staying? Thank you!
jenessa
CarolynHey Carolyn 🙂 If you want the full LEGO experience, you could always book at the Hotel Legoland (you don’t need to be visiting the park to stay there). The best budget option in Billund is Zleep Hotel which is right near the airport.And great apartment-style accommodations are Lillevang Apartments, however, you would probably want a car if you are to stay here. Best of luck!
