Welcome to our LEGO House Billund Review!
As massive LEGO fans, LEGO House in Billund has been on my son and husband’s wish list for a long time. LEGO was invented in Billund and so the LEGO House, also known as The Home Of The Brick, celebrates the town’s most famous creation.
We booked our trip to Billund specificially to visit LEGO House and Legoland and they were both in walking distance from our stay at Lalandia holiday park.
LEGO House Billund : What Is It?
LEGO House is the ultimate celebration of the LEGO brick and THE place to visit for LEGO fans. It’s a 12,000-square metre house filled with 25 million LEGO bricks. 25 million!
LEGO House is made up of six experience zones along with rooftop terraces, a LEGO store and restaurants.
LEGO House Billund Review : Location
You can find LEGO House in the town centre of Billund in Denmark. Billund isn’t the largest of places so it’s pretty easy to get around. During the summer months there is a free City Shuttle Bus which stops at the main tourist areas of Billund as well as the most popular holiday parks and hotels. Therefore it is possible to get the bus directly from Lalandia or Legoland straight to LEGO House. However we were really lucky with the weather during our stay and so we chose to walk from Lalandia and it only took around 20 minutes. There are plenty signposts and the walk took us through a lovely sculpture park.
LEGO House Billund Tickets
Access to the LEGO Square, restaurants, shops and roof terraces are all free. However to get to the good stuff i.e. the experience zones, you need to buy a ticket.
It’s really easy to prebook your tickets online at the LEGO House website. You can save 30dkk per person booking in advance and simply choose the date you wish to visit. We opted for the combi ticket which included entry to Legoland, either six days before or six days after our visit to LEGO House. We found it was a big saving compared to booking the two individually.
LEGO House Billund Wristband and App
When you arrive you simply scan the QR code on your booking confirmation and the machine will print out individual wristbands. These wristbands allow entry to the main part of LEGO House but are also compatible with the official app. Within each zone there is the opportunity to scan your wristband and take a photo or screen shot that’s unique to you. When you get home you can access all the information from your wristband by entering the code on the band. It’s such a great idea and the kids loved how interactive it was.
LEGO House Billund Zones
The LEGO House is split into zones including The Tree of Creativity, Masterpiece Gallery, Red Zone, Blue Zone, Green Zone and Yellow Zone. You also don’t want to miss the 6 Bricks Factory and the History Collection.
LEGO House Tree of Creativity
When you arrive and enter through the turnstile you are greet by the Tree of Creativity, one of the world’s largest LEGO builds. At over 15m tall, it’s absolutely massive and impossible to photograph it its entirety. I’m not a huge LEGO fan like my husband and kids are, but even I found it awe-inspiring. Such a huge creation from such tiny little bricks! It apparently took 6,316,611 standard LEGO bricks and 24,350 hours to assemble. Now that’s impressive!
As you ascend the staircase you can see more of the tree, and all the little details that have been included, both on the trunk and the branches.
LEGO House 6 Bricks Factory
Before you climb the staircase you are invited to take part in the 6 Bricks Factory. Did you know that using just six of the 2×4 LEGO breaks you can create over 915 million different creations?! How crazy is that! At the 6 Bricks Factory you can scan your wristband and you are given a card with your name on and a creation to make using the six bricks. Visitors are invited to help themselves to a bag of six pieces and make their creation.
LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery
At the top of the staircase you then reach the Masterpiece Gallery where there is a display of some of the world’s most amazing LEGO masterpieces. The dinosaurs were spectacular!
The detail on each creation was just incredible. We particularly loved the little baby dinosaur made from LEGO Technic.
From the Masterpiece Gallery you can make your way through to the colour Experience Zones.
LEGO House Red Zone
The Red Zone is the area for spontaneous creativity and free-building. There are countless LEGO bricks to enable you to make whatever you want. The possibilities are endless!
LEGO House Green Zone
The Green Zone focuses on storytelling and role play and was my personal favourite. You can create your own mini-figures and even make your very own LEGO movie! There are huge LEGO Islands to explore complete with mini-figures and amazing little details. We all loved spotting various figures such as The Seven Dwarves going off to work and Wonder Woman taking a turn on a carousel. There were also six Batman figures to try and find which the kids loved.
LEGO House Blue Zone
The Blue Zone is where you can put your cognitive skills to the test. This was my eldest son’s favourite area. Here you could build and race cars in the test driver to see who could create the fastest moving car. Both my son and my husband enjoyed the competition! You could also be an architect and create your very own building.
LEGO House Yellow Zone
The Yellow Zone focuses on emotions and movement. Here you can make animals and then watch them move and dance. My sons found this hilarious!
You could also build fish or other sea animals and set them free in the aquarium. By scanning your wristband you could put your creation on a stand that copied your sea creature and uploaded it to the screen so you could see it moving about! This mesmerised the kids! They loved seeing their own creations being chased by sharks.
LEGO House History Collection
After exploring all the zones you then have the opportunity to head downstairs to the History Collection. Here you can find out how LEGO was created and explore some of the most iconic LEGO sets.
After exploring all the Lego House has to offer you can have a meal inside the Mini Chef restaurant. Sit back as mini figures and robots prepare and deliver your food!
LEGO House Billund Review : Our experience
We loved our visit to LEGO House and the kids rated it even higher than Legoland! The whole place embodies the idea of learning through play, a concept that really can’t be underestimated.
LEGO House was innovative and modern and yet brings things back to basics with just a simple brick. From start to finish I felt they had tried to make the whole experience engaging for both child and adult fans.
We couldn’t recommend it enough.

I have my eye on a trip here. Your review has made me even more keen
Looks fantastic for Lego fans.
This looks amazing and exactly how a place about Lego should be. My son would love it, actually I think we all would! Definitely worth a visit I think.
I hadn’t heard of the Lego House before rwading your post. I’m a huge Lego fan and our son is starting to follow in my footsteps so a trip to Legoland, Denmark and the Lego House may be on the cards in the near future.
This looks like such a fun place to go as a family. Great for anyone, even if there isn’t a big interest in Lego to start with.
Fantastic! What a fun place to visit on your travels. Who doesn’t love Lego?!
Amazing! I would love to go to Denmark and this would be a great place to see with the kids. I am hoping 2020 might be our year for exploring!
Oh my word. This would be a trip of the lifetime for me and daddy too, let alone the children. Move over Disneyland, thanks!
Wow, this place looks amazing and that dinosaur is insane. My boys would absolutely love it there
I am beyond jealous – this has been on my bucket list for a while. I mean, for the kids of course *cough cough*.
