The unrivaled mecca for global LEGO® lovers, Billund houses the headquarters of the iconic toy company plus the original LEGOLAND® park and LEGO House, home to the LEGO Museum and attractions highlighting these blockbuster toy bricks. There are few things to do in Billund that aren’t LEGO-themed, but that’s how enthusiasts of all ages like it. Younger fans can explore the rides and attractions at the local theme park for kids up to 12, while older builders enjoy interactive exhibits and vintage toys at the Home of the Brick.
Billund’s main attraction is the LEGOLAND park, which is almost entirely outdoors and closed for much of the winter (except weekends in December). If a trip to the park tops your list of things to do, plan to visit from spring through fall. On the other hand, LEGO House is an indoor attraction that only closes in January so you can visit it almost any time of year.
The Billund airport is well-connected to both the center of town and the theme park by bus, and you can get between the local attractions on foot along the Playline trail or by bus. The city offers free shuttle bus service in July and August, and regular public transport buses run all year round. Billund does not have a train station, but you can take a DSB train from Copenhagen to the nearby towns of Vejle, Kolding, Fredericia, or Give and a local bus or taxi from there to Billund.
Billund and its LEGO-themed attractions are among the most visited destinations in Denmark, and the park can get crowded in the summer school holidays. Expect long lines for the most popular rides and activities, though nearby play stands stocked with loose bricks help pass the time. To make the most of your day, download the LEGOLAND app that lists updated wait times for the A-list attractions or purchase Reserve and Ride, which lets you reserve a time for select rides and bypass the line.
