I visited the home of Lego in Denmark & the Lego House is the best attraction I’ve ever been to

About the beginning of the to start with lockdown, I begun creating a home out of Lego.

I toiled on it day (sorry, boss) and evening. It is now a gigantic five-bed room property with its possess raise, Jacuzzi, games room and library.

“You could are living in it,” my youngsters breathlessly demonstrate when anybody asks how my glass and white-walled monster mansion is heading.

But previous weekend I observed myself standing in a serious-lifetime Lego residence that you could, in truth, reside in — if you are fortunate.

The Lego Property was initial made out of common Lego blocks then scaled up and designed in much more typical materials a brick’s toss from Lego’s HQ in Denmark’s Billund, the site of its initial theme park.

No queues

And every little thing there is wonderful.

 It is basically the finest museum/show/topic park/attraction I have at any time been to in my existence. 

Irrespective of whether you like Lego or not — it is one particular of the prime 5 very best-marketing toys of all time — you’ll be amazed by the ingenious strategies on exhibit below.

The focus to depth is brain-boggling.

You can make you own Lego fish and scan it into a computer system and watch it swim with other folks.

Direct your very own stop-motion animation present. Drive a robotic duck. Stare in utter amazement at the painstakingly manufactured minifigure-sizing dioramas. And you can even develop your own food and get it served by a Lego robot.

To sum up, it has space right after place of major exciting for all ages (I’m 45!).

Everything you generate can be downloaded on to your wristband and uploaded to an on the web portal so you can relive the fun on the net when you get home. For all-around £100 for a relatives of four if you guide on the internet it is also terrific worth for money. And NO QUEUES!

It is just down the highway from the much more adrenaline-concentrated Legoland — the world’s initial, which opened in 1968. It’s not a good deal distinctive from Legoland in Windsor, but unsurprisingly the Miniland portion has a additional Scandinavian bias and there are some great automations you will not see in Berkshire.

The Polar X-plorer rollercoaster is also worth the queues, with twists and turns through icy tunnels.

Sticking to the theme, we stayed onsite in the Legoland Castle Lodge, which was relaxed, clean up and, ideal of all, just a quick stroll from the major theme park. 

The 4H joint, wrapped in Lego-themed wallpaper and with Lego brick decorations in every place, is an assault on your senses, but the kids loved it.

Bogus piazza 

Do not hassle with the incredibly mediocre night buffet although.

 This is not very good worth at over £100 for four — albeit such as wine — and you can wander to considerably cheaper areas in Billund.

We went to the Bellini cafe, which offered tasty pizza and pasta for close to £15 a head, like half a bottle of wine.

When you tire of the Lego-themed sights, there’s a good deal else to retain you entertained close by. In the port town of Kolding, a 40-minute drive absent, is the great Trapholt museum (£15 entry for grownups).

The fashionable artwork gallery has loads to maintain the young children entertained, like a vibrant exhibition devoted to the designer Verner Panton, who made the one particular-piece plastic chair.

 You can even curate your individual exhibition. If you are right after one thing cheaper, the totally free Kongernes Jelling Viking museum is a fascinating way to spend a morning.

Our last afternoon was spent at Wow Park, a new significant adventure playground back in Billund. Children and grown ups can get caught in in this article on the rope swings, bouncing on big nets and strolling treetop tightropes.

It is tree-mendous (sorry) pleasurable. Get on the internet to get the best costs — roughly £90 for a family members of 4.

If the sunshine rears its head, try out Lalandia AquaDome (about £120 for a spouse and children of 4). This outstanding waterpark has some of the most exhilarating slides I have seasoned.

 If you don’t fancy them, there is a superb outdoor pool (heated, this is Scandinavia!) with many Jacuzzis.

When you are carried out finding soaked you can grab a chunk to take in at the close by pretend Italian piazza, which is essentially a large amount greater than it sounds. 

This is, following all, a city designed on plastic bricks the place from time to time the very best matters are not intended to be the serious matters.
