Visiting the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark

Two weeks after school ended, I decided to take my boys to Billund to check out the LEGO House, since we had been hearing about it a lot lately. My oldest was 11 and not playing with LEGO sets as much since he got his own cell phone and liked playing video games with his friends. The 8 year old was still interested in LEGO, so I thought I would see just what would happen if we went to LEGO House. I had heard that it was for the whole family, and we were about to put that theory to the test.

Where is the LEGO House?

Located in the heart of LEGO country, LEGO House is just one of Billund, Denmark’s destinations that is perfect for LEGO enthusiast from the tiniest Duplo fan to the most creative master builder. As you approach this small town in Denmark, you’ll notice signs pointing to the town’s center where you will not only find the LEGO House, but also a parking garage that is very close to the LEGO House.

Where to park at the LEGO House?

We were very happy to find an electric-car charger on the first floor of the parking garage, since we have a hybrid car. These machines are very easy to use, and it would allow my car to charge the entire time we played in the LEGO House making our trip back home an environmentally friendly one! Thanks, LEGO!

The LEGO House Architecture

After walking the couple of blocks from the parking garage to the LEGO House, you got the feeling that you were approaching an art museum. The design of the LEGO House was very modern with many square pieces. It almost looked like it was made out of LEGO bricks. It was also all in white, which was a nice contrast to the large LEGO bricks that were in the front of the building. Some children were climbing on them as we walked past. I asked my boys if they wanted to climb on them, since they love to climb. They said, no. Oh, boy! Will this be a dud of a day with these two? Time would only tell.

Lockers at the LEGO House

Since we decided to bring our lunch for the trip, we wanted to store it some place instead of taking into the LEGO House. On the main floor next to the bathrooms, we found a large, locker area that allowed us to store our items for free. We just needed to use our wristbands to open and lock our locker. This was such a relief, since I never seem to have the right amount of coin money to use in an average, pay locker. Another nice touch by LEGO! Now, to find the wristbands and get the fun started.

LEGO House Entrance and Gift Shop

Inside the entrance to the LEGO House, there are machines where you can get your wristbands. Since we were the guests of the LEGO House, we got our wristbands at the information center and then scanned them at the turnstile to get our fun day started. Can I just say how cool the wristbands were? They had our names on them. This meant that any machine we used to make our creations come to life would personalize our experience.

What to do at the LEGO House in Billund

1. Tree of Creativity at the LEGO House

The very first LEGO creation that we noticed after entering was the Tree of Creativity! This rather large LEGO tree is a little over 51 feet tall and stands in a strategic place within the building. You are able to walk up a winding staircase to see all the different LEGO sets that are built on top of the leaves of the tree.

This is when I knew that it was going to be a good day. The boys took their time going up the stairs and really paid attention to everything they were seeing. We particularly loved the pirate ship that seemed to magically sail in the air! I had a feeling that wasn’t the only magic in the air, and I was about to witness a rebirth of my 11 year old’s love of LEGO!

2. Masterpiece Gallery

At the top of the stairs, we stepped into the Masterpiece Gallery. This was a very neat place because it was filled with many unique LEGO items. At first sight, we saw three dinosaurs, but a closer look showed us much more. The dinosaurs were all very different. The red one was my favorite because it had many deer and flowers all along its back. The green one in the middle had a baby dino holding a steak, and the yellow dinosaur was made of a different type of LEGO brick that made it look more robotic. I loved how some of them were holding ice cream.

There were other objects as well, and my most favorite of these special creations was the coral reef. It was so lifelike that I almost forgot that it was made out of LEGO blocks. It is just amazing what people can make with LEGO.

Though we were able to either go to the Red or Green zones from this platform, we only noticed the stairs leading down to the Red Zone. This is why we chose to visit the Red Zone first.

3. The Red Zone at the LEGO House

As we walked down the stairs to the Red Zone, we noticed a very beautiful, rainbow waterfall made completely of LEGO. The boys’ mouths dropped open at this sight. They loved the dinosaurs, but the waterfall was something else, and this new area had many LEGO bins filled with LEGO bricks for them to use! One of the bins was filled with only yellow LEGO bricks, but the others were filled with all different colors, shapes and styles of LEGO pieces. The boys were both determined to make a house, and our day of play at the LEGO House began. We stayed at this section of for quite some time.

Looking around, you could see that everyone was playing. Kids, adults, babies. It was great! The Red Zone even had a small waterfall made of Duplo that led to a pit filled with Duplo for the little ones to play. This was such a nice touch for LEGO to remember the little ones!

Extra Areas at LEGO House

Also, at the end of the stairs, there was a little snack cart with sweets, slushies and a coffee machine. Wow!! Was this place actually designed by parents?? It felt like it!

Another place within the Red Zone was called the Creative Lab. This area had tables set up with LEGO dots and small boards in the center. Here, you could create your own masterpiece to put up on display. There is also a place with books where children can read if they want a quiet moment!

4. The Blue Zone at the LEGO House

The Blue Zone seemed to be the section where you could get more active. Closest to the Red Zone, there was the first of the two Blue Zones. This one was all about vehicles. They had bins set up with lots of LEGO pieces and wheels. The boys were very excited to create cars that they could test on both the obstacle course and on the racetrack. They made a few different designs before finding the perfect car to jump through the hoop of the obstacle course. It was great to see how creative they were being. I also really loved how much fun both boys were having. It looked like my older son was getting back into LEGO again!

Playing with Robots at the LEGO House

The second of the two Blue Zones was around the corner from the first, and we had to walk through part of the Green Zone to get there. This area let us program and operate our own robots, which was very fun! The boys and I each had our own robot to operate, and we were in a race to see how many flowers we could grow for the bees to use to make honey. I don’t want to brag, but it turned out that mom was the big winner with 3 bowls of honey! 😊 It was a fun activity for the three of us to do together, and both boys really enjoyed it!

For the Little Ones in the Blue Zone

The Blue Zone doesn’t forget the Duplo fans. Instead of building cars to race, there is a fun LEGO train area where smaller children can play with LEGO trains.

5. The Green Zone at the LEGO House

Since we got a peak at the Green Zone on our way to the robots, we had to walk back to check out the Green Zone in full effect! First, we could see right away all of the large, detailed displays that were built by the LEGO masters there at the LEGO House. They were amazing. One looked like the Alpine mountains equipped with a waterfall, bridges for trains, mountainside villages and ski slopes. We loved the humor that they added to it with Superman hanging red capes on his clothesline or Darth Vader on the skis. We took our time to see every last LEGO brick!

Making a Community in LEGO City

The other large display was a very large LEGO City scene. It is amazing how they can do to make it look real. It was as if we were in the middle of the LEGO movie. The boys also loved the building stations that they had there. The first station was all about working together to create a community. What a great idea. The boys took a small, flat piece and used white LEGO pieces to create a building to set on a electronic table to extend a city. It was such a cool part of the entire experience.

Fun with Lego Figures in the Green Zone

The other station was for building people. The boys love mix matching the body parts of their LEGO figures at home, but here, mom won’t get made at them. HaHa! I guess this was more of an exercise for parents to chill out! 😊 After creating your person, you could put them into a photo machine and make a magazine cover or take it down to an area filled with different movie scenes.

Making our own Version of LEGO Friends

The Green Zone is also where we followed the ideals of the LEGO House and started “Building new friendships” with our own Lego Friend. I noticed some people who were close in age to my parents and sounded American. I started a conversation and discovered that the man’s name was Chuck. He was an American, math teacher who was visiting his son in Sweden. They had to take a detour to Billund to live out his lifelong dream of going to see LEGO at its place of origin.

As teachers do, he offered to teach my boys about gears and showed them how to make something really fun out of LEGO pieces. It was truly a great experience, and Chuck was such a natural, you’d think that he was the leader of a workshop at the LEGO House instead of just a visitor. Thanks for the lesson, Chuck!

6. The Yellow Zone at the LEGO House

The Yellow Zone was next. This section gave us the feel of being with smaller creatures in nature, since we could make bugs, flowers, and fish. The boys first made some bugs and set them on a track in which they had to make it to the end without getting eaten by a snake. It was fun. Making flowers was also quite a fun task, and it was nice to see another pit with Duplo for the little ones.

However, it was when we got to the fish area where we spent the most time! The boys got very creative hear making six or seven different fish with the brick bins that they had there. After making fish, we then took it to a photo machine that allowed us to add a mouth and eyes to our fish, and voila! The machine transported the image on to a screen that had an underwater scene. The boys loved watching their LEGO fish swim around on the screen.

7. Rooftop Playgrounds

During our trip within the different, colored zones, we noticed that there were doors leading to the outside. These outdoor spaces were rooftop playgrounds with a variety of different themes that seemed to match the area we were in within the building. It was a nice break from being inside as well.

8. The LEGO Theater

After playing all day in the colored zones, the boys and I were ready to see the basement level of the LEGO House which housed the LEGO Museum and Theater. Inside the theater, they were playing a movie where LEGO creators were talking about different Star Wars sets of LEGO. It was really cool to hear the details from the creators.

9. The LEGO Museum

We also visited the LEGO Museum where we read about the history of LEGO in Denmark and how it became world famous. They had examples of different sets of LEGO sets from the very beginning of LEGO to more resent sets. I particularly liked how they showed different prototypes of the LEGO Friends figures in many different sizes to show the progress of this LEGO piece.

LEGO Sets Throughout the Years

There was another room that had many different LEGO sets behind a glass window. They were all in boxes, but a special LEGO Ninjago wall showed the sets built. This was a hit with our family, since we are big fans of Ninjago! In the middle of the room was an interactive table where you could look at all the LEGO sets every created which were sorted by year of release. After scanning your bracelet, you could create a “wish list” of sets on your “shelf” in the experience.

The boys really loved doing this! In fact, there were so many fun machines throughout the building. Whenever you wanted to use one, you needed to scan your bracelet. The reason for this is because your photos and videos are all saved to your bracelet and can be downloaded up to 29 days after your visit by visiting HERE. Another nice touch by LEGO!

Where to eat at the LEGO House in Billund

Though we brought our own food and ate at one of the tables there, we also had the option of eating at one of the two restaurants at the LEGO House.

Let your fun experience with LEGO keep going by eating at the Mini Chef restaurant. Here, you can order your meal at your table with a computer screen and have it delivered by robots. They have a variety of food options for all different taste buds. You can order salmon, pork, beef, chicken or vegetarian foods with many healthy salad and vegetable choices. It might be a good idea to reserve a table before you visit the LEGO House. You can do that HERE.

You can also order ready-made sandwiches, snacks, desserts, and a variety of different types of drinks at the Brickaccino café. This is a take away option unlike the sit-down situation at Mini Chef. However, there are plenty of tables at the LEGO House to enjoy your meal!

Overall Thoughts about LEGO House

After a full day of playing with LEGO pieces, BOTH of my boys said that they had a great time and wanted to know when we would be going back!! They also spent the next two days playing with LEGO at home, so I have to say that the LEGO House got my oldest son back into playing with LEGO again! I am very happy about that, since playing with LEGO has always been something we have enjoyed as a family. Now, I feel I have a new way of looking at how to enjoy these wonderful, colorful bricks! Thanks again, LEGO! 

In my opinion, the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark is a fantastic place to spend the day playing as a family. If you are traveling to Billund and want a nice, indoor activity, this is perfect for LEGO lovers of all ages. Having something for babies and toddlers is also a really nice thing for families with children of different ages. Your family will have a great time being creative with LEGO at the LEGO House!
