Local tips
- Aim to arrive before opening time so you can start with popular rides like The Dragon, NINJAGO or Polar Land attractions before queues build.
- Bring a light rain jacket and spare clothes for children, as Danish weather is changeable and several rides include water splashes.
- Plan at least one full day, and consider two if you want to experience most rides, shows and play zones at a relaxed pace.
- Use quieter moments to explore Miniland thoroughly; you notice far more details when you are not rushing between attractions.
- If you are staying in a nearby hotel, check for package deals that bundle accommodation with multi-day park access.

Getting There

From Billund town centre by bus
Local buses run between Billund town centre and the LEGOLAND area in around 5–10 minutes, typically aligning with flights and working hours. A single adult ticket on regional buses in this part of Jutland usually costs about 20–30 DKK, with reduced fares for children. Services are more frequent in the main park season and may be limited in winter, so check current timetables and note that some departures run only during school or holiday periods.
-
From Billund Airport by shuttle or bus
LEGOLAND lies close to Billund Airport, and dedicated shuttles or regular regional buses cover the short journey in roughly 10–15 minutes. Expect to pay in the range of 20–35 DKK per person, depending on the route and ticket type. Buses generally run throughout the day while flights operate, but late‑evening and early‑morning options can be limited, especially outside peak holiday months.
-
From Vejle by regional bus or train plus bus
From Vejle, one of the main transport hubs in the region, regional buses connect to Billund and LEGOLAND in about 45–60 minutes. Combined train‑plus‑bus journeys from elsewhere in Denmark often route through Vejle as well. A typical adult fare from Vejle to Billund by bus falls roughly between 60 and 100 DKK, depending on time and ticket choice. Services are generally hourly or better in daytime, with reduced frequency in the evening and on some weekends.
-
By car from within Jutland
Driving from nearby Jutland towns such as Vejle, Kolding or Esbjerg usually takes between 35 and 60 minutes via major roads signposted to Billund. LEGOLAND has large paid parking areas near the park; day parking commonly costs in the region of 60–120 DKK per vehicle, with payment via machines or apps. At very busy times spaces closest to the entrance fill early, and you should allow extra time to walk from the car parks to the park gates.

Discover more about LEGOLAND® Billund Resort
The birthplace of the LEGO theme park idea
LEGOLAND Billund opened in 1968 beside the original LEGO factory, transforming the small town of Billund into a landmark for fans of the famous Danish bricks. Here you are in the very first LEGOLAND park, a place that has grown from a single miniature world into a full-scale resort woven around imagination, play and family time. The park still celebrates its roots, with constant nods to classic bricks and the story of a toy that became a global icon. Walking through the gates, giant models and bright primary colours immediately set the tone. Everything feels as though it has been clicked together piece by piece, from dragon-guarded castles to tiny harbour scenes. Behind the playful look lies years of model-building know-how, a tradition that continues backstage as designers dream up new creations for each season.Miniland: the heart built from millions of bricks
At the centre of the park lies Miniland, the historic core where the LEGOLAND concept began. Here, landmarks from Denmark, Scandinavia and beyond are recreated in astonishing detail using around 20 million LEGO bricks. Canals, bridges and skylines come to life at a scale that invites you to lean in close and spot tiny scenes playing out among the models. Boats glide through miniature harbours, trains loop through towns and cars follow their routes thanks to hidden mechanisms and careful engineering. Children tend to race from display to display looking for moving parts, while adults often recognize famous buildings and appreciate the craftsmanship. Miniland changes over time, with new models and updated details reflecting real-world developments.Themed lands packed with rides and adventures
Beyond Miniland, LEGOLAND Billund spreads into a series of distinct themed zones. In the medieval area, a brick-built castle hides The Dragon, a family coaster that starts as a gentle dark-ride through a storybook kingdom before diving outside into faster curves and drops. Pirate Land introduces swashbuckling atmosphere, complete with water-based rides where crews can spray passing boats and shoreside targets. Newer zones cater to modern LEGO stories. NINJAGO World lets visitors test reflexes on an interactive 3D ride where you "throw" virtual energy blasts with hand movements, while The LEGO Movie World surrounds you with familiar characters from the films. In Polar Land, icy theming, penguin enclosures and a coaster racing past frozen scenery bring a cooler climate to central Jutland.Family focus, play zones and practical comforts
The park is designed first and foremost for families with children, with many rides accessible to younger adventurers accompanied by adults. Duplo-themed areas provide gentler attractions, soft play spaces and simple rides perfect for toddlers. Throughout the resort there are indoor and outdoor building zones where children can sit down, open boxes of bricks and create their own designs inspired by what they have just seen. Food options range from quick-service burger counters and pizza-and-pasta spots to cafés serving cakes and snacks. There are plentiful benches and rest areas for breaks between rides. Facilities and information points are positioned to help families navigate height requirements, show schedules and seasonal events, keeping the day flowing smoothly.Staying in a world made of bricks
Adjacent to the park, Hotel LEGOLAND and nearby themed accommodations extend the experience into the night. Rooms dressed as pirate cabins, NINJAGO training quarters or LEGO Friends bedrooms carry the playfulness through bedtime. Many packages combine stays with multi-day park tickets and breakfast, encouraging a slower pace in which you can spread rides and shows over more than one day. In the evening, when the park winds down, lights glowing from castles, coasters and model towns give LEGOLAND a different character. Families strolling back to their rooms pass by giant minifigures and themed playgrounds, often squeezing in a final photo in front of a dragon or knight before the day ends.Seasons, Danish weather and visiting patterns
LEGOLAND Billund operates mainly from late spring to autumn, with opening hours that shift between regular days and peak holiday periods. Days typically start in the morning around 10:00, with closing times varying from late afternoon to later evening in high season. Danish weather can change quickly, so layers and rainproof clothing are advisable, especially for water rides and exposed queue areas. The park’s outdoor setting means light and atmosphere shift through the day, from crisp northern mornings to lingering summer evenings. Seasonal decorations, special events and new attractions add fresh reasons to return, while the constant presence of LEGO bricks ensures that creativity remains at the centre of the experience.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
