As you’re aware, we’ve just returned from a day trip to the Lego House in Denmark 🇩🇰. In this post, I’ll share the incredible experience of visiting the Lego House and offer tips on how to plan your own day trip there.
First and foremost, it’s crucial to check the Lego House’s opening hours before making any travel arrangements.
To find the most affordable and efficient way to travel to Denmark, I used Skyscanner. Surprisingly, the quickest and cheapest option was with Ryanair, despite my reservations about the airline due to past incidents and overwhelmingly negative reviews. Despite my reluctance, I ultimately booked the flights as I couldn’t find a better deal elsewhere.
Total: £70.70 with a small cabin allowance
Although buggies are free to bring along, I opted to forgo ours this time to avoid a lengthy wait at baggage claim, streamlining our travel experience.
Our journey began at Stansted Airport. To reach Victoria Coach Station, we relied on Bolt, which, in my opinion, offers similar services to Uber but at a more affordable rate.
For transportation to the airport, we always rely on National Express due to its cost-effectiveness, as mentioned in previous posts. If you’re a Three network user, be sure to explore the Wuntu app for potential discounts, such as the recent 30% off National Express coach rides offer.
Despite it being our first time at this airport, I was pleasantly surprised by the swift security clearance process.
Upon arrival at Billund Airport, we were delighted to find that the journey to Denmark had taken just one hour. Since we had no checked luggage, we swiftly disembarked the plane and made our way to the arrivals information desk. There, I had a pleasant conversation with a helpful lady who provided guidance on which buses would take us to the Lego House.
She informed me that the 944x bus was the only one accepting contactless card payments, so we opted for that one. Additionally, Little Miss, traveled for free as she was under 12 years old. I paid a mere 12 DKK, equivalent to £2.89.
In no time, we arrived at the Lego House, a short stroll from the bus stop. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who provided us with personalized wristbands. These wristbands granted us access to the Lego House and various exciting activities, which I’ll discuss in more detail later.
LEGO House offers both ticketed and non-ticketed creative experiences. With a ticket, you gain access to the six Experience Zones. Without a ticket, you can still enjoy visiting LEGO Square, playing on the playgrounds across their nine rooftop terraces, exploring the LEGO Store, and indulging in tasty food experiences with a creative LEGO twist at one of the three restaurants.
Upon our arrival, the first awe-inspiring sight was the colossal “Tree of Creativity,” entirely constructed from Lego bricks. My words cannot adequately describe its grandeur, so naturally, I captured a video and took numerous photos. The ingenuity of Lego creators never fails to impress me. One can only imagine the tremendous amount of time and patience required to craft such a masterpiece! Fun fact: It took 24,350 hours to assemble!
Next, we made our way to the Masterpiece Gallery, a tribute to Lego fans worldwide. Here, visitors can admire the incredible creations of Lego enthusiasts from various age groups and countries. While some may perceive Lego as solely for children, the gallery showcases how adults also have a deep appreciation for the versatile toy. Personally, I find the act of building with Lego bricks to be incredibly relaxing and enjoyable, regardless of age.
Throughout the Lego House, you’ll find numerous Lego pits scattered around. If you ever feel weary from walking, simply take a break and unleash your creativity by building something with the Lego bricks provided.
Returning to the wristbands I mentioned earlier, these magical accessories enable you to bring Lego bricks to life! At various locations throughout the house, you can scan your wristband and participate in exciting activities. These interactions are digitally recorded and stored in a memory bank, which you can access upon completing your entire Lego House journey.
Next, we proceeded to the Green Zone! Here, the focus is on exploring your social competences.
One of Little Miss’s favorite parts was the Character Creator. Here, you can design your own Lego mini-figure using a plethora of body parts and accessories!
Little Miss also thoroughly enjoyed the Lego Duplo City Builder activity! What I found particularly impressive were the explanations scattered throughout the Lego House, detailing how Lego can positively impact both yourself and your children. Little Miss’s boundless imagination is truly remarkable, and I attribute it in part to her engagement with reading and imaginative play!
The Green Zone was undoubtedly the highlight of my day. With its myriad of activities, you could easily spend several hours exploring this section alone. Another standout feature was the opportunity to create your own movie, adding yet another layer of excitement to the experience!
In the Yellow Zone, the focus is on understanding, expressing, and regulating emotions. Here, you can design your own Lego fish, scan it, and release it into a digital aquarium—an incredibly cool experience! The Critter Creator was also a hit, allowing you to build your own Lego critter and watch it spring to life.
Little Miss particularly enjoyed the Lego Duplo Mood Builder activity, where she had the chance to construct animals displaying various emotions. It sparked a delightful bonding experience as we discussed different emotions and the feelings of animals.
In the Red Zone, you’ll find the Lego Brick Builder, Creative Lab, and the Lego Duplo Brick Builder. We had a blast creating a variety of things from scratch! I always adore when Little Miss makes something and eagerly shows it to me. She takes such pride in her creations, and so do I! It’s fascinating to witness her intense concentration as she builds—her expression is always so serious and focused.
In the Blue Zone, you’ll find the following attractions: Robo Lab, City Architect, Test Driver, and Lego Duplo Train Builder.
The Robo Lab offered a super cool experience, although neither Little Miss nor I had a clue what we were doing! We attempted to control these awesome robot Legos using a touchscreen, but let’s just say our skills were lacking!
On the other hand, Little Miss absolutely adored City Architect. It’s a simulator that allows you to shape life in the city with your own Lego creations! Every addition you make alters the rhythm of the city, making for a truly engaging experience.
Exploring the History Collection was a treat for me, as I thoroughly enjoy historical outings. Learning about the history of Lego bricks was truly fascinating, and it was remarkable to witness the evolution of the Lego brand over the years. Additionally, observing the changes in the Lego logo throughout its history provided an intriguing glimpse into the brand’s evolution.
At the conclusion of your Lego House experience, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the 6 Bricks factory. Here, everyone receives a complimentary bag of freshly made Lego bricks along with unique building instructions, allowing you to create something special at home. It’s a fantastic idea, and we’re excited to dive into our own build tonight!

You will need to check out the website for this information. Please do not book a flight without checking!!
After our time at the Lego House, we took some time to explore Billund and were pleasantly surprised by what else the area had to offer. We spotted the Teddy Bear Art Museum, which looked intriguing, and of course, there’s always the iconic Legoland nearby!
Later, we enjoyed a pleasant dinner at the airport, and I was relieved to find a Lego pit that kept Little Miss entertained while we waited to board our plane.
We absolutely loved our time at the Lego House and would eagerly return. Little Miss, being the huge Lego fan that she is, adored every moment as well.
Perhaps next time, we’ll consider staying overnight so we can fully immerse ourselves in the Legoland experience too!
