Less than a three-hour flight separates Barcelona from one of the most visited family destinations in all of Europe: Billund. Nicknamed the “children’s capital,” this Danish town stands out for its vast array of leisure activities—including water parks, zoos, and museums—and, above all, for being home to the legendary LEGOLAND® theme park.
LEGOLAND® Billund Resort is a place where creativity and tranquility are in the air from the moment you arrive at Billund Airport, easily accessible thanks to Norwegian’s direct flight from Barcelona and recognized by the website StressFreeCarRental.com as the least chaotic and stressful in Europe. Far from being a boring stopover, the terminal welcomes you with enormous LEGO® sculptures, a curated selection of contemporary art—featuring iconic pieces such as King Hamlet’s bracelet or sculptures by Willy Ørskov—and even live musical performances.
And this can only be the beginning of your next family adventure. Stay tuned, because we still have plenty more reasons to visit Denmark this season. You won’t regret it!
What’s NEW at LEGOLAND® BILLUND RESORT for 2026
With more than half a century of history behind it, the world’s first LEGO® theme park remains a global benchmark. LEGOLAND® features roller coasters, haunted houses, and a famous Miniland built with 20 million bricks, but in 2026 the bar is raised even higher with the addition of two major new attractions:
- Minifigure Speedway: Denmark’s first dueling roller coaster. An adrenaline-fueled experience where riders participate in an aerial race full of forward and backward launches, crossovers, accelerations, and above all, plenty of curves.
- I ❤️ Billund: A must-have for fans of the brand. Available at the iconic LEGO® House, this exclusive set features 1,404 pieces, with which LEGO® pays tribute to its origins. Pure history to take home!
Beyond the bricks: adventures, water, and safaris
Beyond LEGOLAND® and LEGO® House, the Billund region offers three more attractions for all ages and interests: from places to experience adventures in nature to diving into an authentic tropical oasis filled with water slides:
WOW Park: A gigantic adventure and play park in the heart of nature, the size of 40 soccer fields! Perfect for the most active members of the family.
Lalandia: The largest tropical water park in all of Scandinavia, featuring a bowling alley, ice rink, and trampolines.
Givskud Zoo: A vast space where lions, giraffes, and rhinos coexist alongside an impressive dinosaur exhibit featuring a life-size T-Rex. A must-visit for animal lovers!
Where to stay? Among colorful blocks or on the savanna
So far we’ve only talked about fun, but what about rest? At some point, you’ll need to recharge your batteries. During your visit to Billund, you can choose between the colorful LEGOLAND® Hotel and staying in LEGO NINJAGO® or LEGO Friends-themed rooms, or opt for the big new attraction of 2026: the Safari Camp at Givskud Zoo.
There, you’ll sleep in elegant glamping tents overlooking the savanna and enjoy the Wake Up Zoo® experience: an exclusive morning guided tour for early risers. This way, you can learn all about the park’s wildlife before the rest of the visitors arrive!
So now you know: pack your bags, because Denmark is just around the corner, waiting to offer you an unforgettable family getaway.
