From Copenhagen, I booked a train in advance (219dkk / £25.57 on the way there and 190dkk / £22.18 on the way back) for the ~2h journey to Vejle. From there you take a 30 minute bus (62dkk / £7.24 one way) to Billund. All bus tickets are one way and last ~2h.
It’s actually much easier and cheaper to fly straight to Billund Airport to visit the Lego attractions. It’s walkable from the airport in about 30 mins (or 24dkk / £2.80 on the bus one way).
I found accommodation in Billund very expensive. I found it much cheaper to stay in Vejle (£122.72 for 2 nights at Cabinn Vejle Hotel) and commute in on the bus both days.
For entry tickets alone, it cost me 539dkk / £62.93. Both attractions had free luggage storage (which I actually used at the Lego House to go to the Skulpture Park on the same day as my Lego House entry but it wasn’t worth it).
I was a little disappointed by Legoland I think. There wasn’t that much Lego really. I thought it would be everywhere! Also Miniland, the thing I was most looking forward to, was quite small, although it was good.
But I do really recommend a couple of rides, one of which is Ice Pilots School. On this ride you received a card which you programmed what you would like your ride to be. The card was inserted into the ride and a robot arm followed your flight path. The other ride I recommend, especially for Lego Movie fans, is Emmet’s Flying Adventure - Masters of Flight.
I also went to the following attractions, which were OK: Legotop, Apocalypseburg Sky Battle, X-treme Racers, Polar X-plorer, Flying Eagle, Lego Studios and Atlantis by Sealife.
The Lego shop was OK but not as large as I thought it would be. It was also quite cool to go to a coffee shop and get some chocolate Lego (although it tasted like cheap chocolate) for 12dkk / £1.40. Apparently you can get chips (fries) in the shape of Lego too but I missed these.
Overall, what were my thoughts as a solo adult visiting Danish Legoland? In all honesty, it could be a bit awkward at times. On a few occasions I was sat next to children in families of 3 to make a 4, ruining all their family photos! I think I just expected it to be a bit bigger and better than London Legoland (the walk from one end to the other took me around 10-15 mins). I entered at 10:45 and left at 3:30, although I could have left much sooner.
Lego House
I was a bit concerned about Lego House, after my experience at Legoland! But I really loved it and would recommend Lego House over Legoland, that is if you will play with the Lego.
This attraction was all inside. There were many different zones, within each you had little challenges and tasks to complete, as well as a computer screen to take photos of all your creations. Everything you did or made was saved to a contactless wristband, which was a nice touch because you could download everything you did in a day, as well as them making a little video of your whole experience.
It didn’t feel as weird being alone because everyone was split up, trying to search for that one Lego piece they needed among the piles!
Don’t forget to check out the historic collection for a view of Lego through the years, as well as going up the outside of the building, where there were some free to enter parks. Unfortunately I didn’t find a place where you could view the Lego House from above because I have seen photos and it looks impressive.
I had a lot of fun building all the different Lego pieces needed! The time flew by. I entered at 10:15 and left at 3. It was a good day!
