OCTOBER 2025

When we told friends that we would go on a roadtrip to Norway, everyone recommended us to make a stop at Legoland Billund. We are not big theme park fans, so we were hesitant regarding this activity. As Hugo loves playing with Lego, we decided to visit Legoland for him. As we visited in the middle of summer, it was a very busy day. And that is when I discovered how much my husband dislikes theme parks… So therefore I wrote this blog with the point of view: What’s Legoland like if you don’t like theme parks? 

Practical information

Legoland has several locations, we visited the one in Billund. This park opened in 1968 and was the first Legoland park in the world. When the park opened the main attraction were miniature figures and buildings built with Lego. Over decades the park expanded massively and it now is a full-on theme park featuring water attractions and rollercoasters. On the Legoland website you can book your tickets, as well as a multiple-day stay in one of the adjoining hotels. Depending on which day you visit you pay an entrance price from € 44, but you are more likely to pay about € 60 per person. Definitely make sure to book online for better prices. Children from 0-1 are free, but a 4-year old pays full price, making it an expensive day. You can also book your parking ticket online, we paid extra for parking close to the entrance, but discovered that this is unnecessary. 

On the website you can book many extras, such as skip the line tickets and a buffet dinner. Overall, we found this very overwhelming so we skipped all those options. Especially if you visit with younger kids, the skip the line tickets do not have much value. If you want to do lots of rollercoasters, this could save you serious time. 

What’s Legoland like if you don’t like theme parks? 

What we didn’t like

I will start with some negatives that we encountered. We visited Legoland on a summer day and it was very busy. Many kids were overstimulated, so lots of shrieking going on. Hugo is 4-years old and not used to these intense activities, he was very overwhelmed. It took him some time to get used to his surroundings and have fun. Some big attractions had long queues, which you could monitor via the app. When a queue shortened, everybody seemed to move into that queue, so the queues were long all the time. Definitely a day when your patience is tested. I personally had the right mindset and could get over this quickly.

What we loved

Onto the things we did like. We loved the Lego theme! There were beautiful Lego figures everywhere, all the waiting lines were decorated. The park also features lovely greenery, with lots of flowers, it looks great! Many queues had a dedicated space where the kids could find Lego blocks to play with. Miniland is where there are miniature Lego versions of countries, we loved the attention to detail. This area also featured canals with a lock, where ships could pass. This was fully operational and fun to see. Hugo honestly could have spent hours here. If there would have just been a Miniland and no attractions, he would have been super happy as well.

Conclusion

I found that the park offered sufficient attractions for different ages. A 4-year old cannot go into most rollercoasters, but there still was plenty to do and see. Some attractions are interactive, which we appreciated. There even is a mini aquarium in the park. With small kids you can easily spend two days in the park. Despite Hugo being initially overwhelmed, he ended up having the best day. 

Overall, we found the park beautiful with great attractions. If you don’t like theme parks, you will probably not change your mind and have a different opinion after a busy day in Legoland. It would be a great daytrip if you are able to visit during the off-season. And if you are a lover of theme parks, you are going to love Legoland Billund!
