LEGOLAND PRACTICALITIES
Legoland is no doubt the reason you're in Billund. To maximise your time, consider buying
your tickets online to avoid the queues (you can also buy tickets at most accommodation
providers in the area). Note that adult tickets are for those aged 13 and over; infants un-
der two years are free. Seniors over 65 pay the child's price. To enable a cheaper second
day at the park, visit a ticket booth with your ticket and pay an additional Dkr99. Car
parks in the area charge Dkr50.
Inside Legoland you'll find a bank, ATMs, lockers, a baby room, pushchair rental and al-
most anything else you might need. Do we need to mention there's a huge, busy Lego
shop?
Closing times vary - from 6pm to 9pm. Also worth knowing (and not well publicised) is
that the park opens its gates a half-hour before the rides close, and no ticket is necessary
to enter at this time. Rides normally close one or two hours before the park itself (check
the website), so with a bit of luck you could end up with 2½ hours to browse and check
out Miniland for free.
Sleeping
Billund hotels are pricey, but they're all busy catering to a market focused firmly on fam-
ily fun (colourful decor, playrooms, peak-summer activities etc). A good nearby budget
option is
Danhostel Givskud Zoo
.
Advance bookings are highly recommended.
Legoland Holiday Village
CAMPGROUND, HOSTEL
room/cabin Dkr1750/1175; )
Taking everything up a notch with marvellous Lego detail, this outstanding 'village' en-
compasses the
Pirate's Inn Hotel
and a huge campground. In the hotel, pirate-themed
rooms sleep up to five and include bathroom, wi-fi, TV and linen, plus kitchen access.
Self-contained cabins are available (choose standard or with a 'Wild West' theme) plus
Indian-style tepee tents.
The campground is enormous, and well-equipped. Families will love the minigolf, play-
ground and petting zoo. There's also a restaurant on-site (breakfast buffet adult/child
Dkr80/40; hostel rates include breakfast).
