Legoland


LEGOland is an entertainment park situated in Billund, the city where all the Lego toys came. Billund's Lego factory is very well known around the World.

This park is amazing. There are a lot of attractions and if you visit it you will never forget it. There are Legoland parks also in Windsor UK, Carlsbad - California US, Florida US and Günzburg Germany. The one in Billund is the only one in Denmark and this is the starting point. All LEGO dreams came from this location.

First of all, you can arrive in Billund using this very modern airport. The park with a hotel and a resort is only 1 km away. After this there are a lot of restaurants in Legoland. The themes chosen for entertaining are various and cool. You may find a medieval area, a cowboys and indians area, a Star Wars area or a Pirates theme zone. The toys are great and really amazing. It is redundant to say that every figure is made of Lego pieces. And they are just marvelous.

There are organised parties and concerts every Saturday. The most important Danish singers and bands participate and entertain the visitors. Every year it is a new theme developed. For 2011 it was Star Wars with all the saga realised in small figures of LEGO pieces. For 2012 it will be a Polar Land, a zone who presents all the Arcitc clichés.

When you finish all Legoland options to explore, pay yourself a visit in Lalandia which is really close. The joy and fun will be double.

Billund Airport

Billund Airport in Denmark is a facility which serves as one of Denmarks busiest air cargo centers, as well as a charter airline destination, although some regular airlines also offer flights there. The proximity of the airport to the Legoland theme park in Billund arguably makes it easier for the airport to attract passengers, and to lure more airlines into operating to the airport.

Billund is a municipality in Region Syddanmark in the center of the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. Formerly the municipality belonged to Ribe County. The new, merged municipality covers an area of 536,51 km², and has a total population of 26,181. Its mayor is Ib Kristensen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The site of its municipal council is the town of Grindsted.

Billund is a company town, the home of the Lego Group headquarters. There is a Lego factory on the outskirts of town which as of 2005 manufactures 90% of the company's products, though the effects of globalization and competition from companies such as Mega Bloks is likely to lead to more off-shore manufacturing. Across the road from the company's headquarters is the first of the Legoland theme parks, first opened in 1968.
