I would recommend the original Legoland Parken in Billund Denmark. Billund has an international airport that is serviced by Ryanair direct from Italy (and by other airlines with connections) and Legoland is a few minutes away from the airport by car or public bus. Lego's headquarters and factory are also in Billund (although, they don't do regular tours of the factory). I have been to the Legoland in Denmark and California, and most of the rides are the same, but I preferred Legoland Parken . It is older, but has a real charm to it and the rides are pretty much all the same. The main difference with the newer parks versus the original Denmark Legoland is that there are more rides for older kids at the California (as its newer) and I've heard the same is true for the newer Legolands in Germany and the UK. That being said, for kids under 8 or so, the Denmark Legoland has everything you need and is very charming. But the biggest recommendation I would make is to try to stay in the LEGOLAND Billund Resort if you can afford it within your budget.
The hotel has its own entrance into the park and is filled with lego models and bins of legos for the kids to play with. I think the Legoland Hotel combined with Legoland park is a really great family experience and if you can make it work within your budget, you should do it. The Legoland hotel in Billund is older and it isn't overly nice, but the overall experience is pretty fantastic. Legoland Parken in Denmark and Legoland in the UK both have Legoland hotels, but the Legoland Germany does not. So, if your son is under 8 or under, I would definitely recommend Denmark and if he is older, I would still recommend Denmark, but the other options would be great too. It should be noted that Denmark is very expensive in general, so if it doesn't work within you budget, do the the Legoland in Windsor, England and try to stay at the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel . To the west you'll find Europe's best beaches. To the east, the water is more shallow and the beaches are more child-friendly.
Between them you'll experience some of Denmark's loveliest nature. Forests, river valleys, heaths and open skies. The central part of Jutland has been the stage for some of Denmark's most significant historical events. Here you'll find traces of Vikings, old royal castles -- and discover new contexts in the cosmos and the universe. Take a stroll through narrow pedestrian streets, sun-dappled cafés, galleries and fascinating shops. Or step inside large shopping centres with something for everyone. Visit the area's many interesting shopping areas and market towns. We visited here with our two young daughters. They had a great time and didn't want to leave. As avid Lego lovers this was one of the places that they have always wanted to visit. The food was good and we had a great time riding the rides. Wonderful outlet with delighted service good choice of food and the staffs are very good and people are very friendly the ambience of outlet is very good If you like lego and fairgrounds, it is your best place to be.
You only pay entry fee once, and everything is for free, except food, and a few not necessery toy. 2 day is enough, but if you have 3 you will not want to go back again. Disneylands and Europa Park give you more fun, but with little... Great day with the family at this wonderful park. My son enjoyed the 2 days at this park and did all the rides more than once. Food prices are reasonable This park is easier to get around than Legoland Windsor (not so hilly). Cheaper to purchase snacks and drinks and staff were very friendly. The dragon ride was much better than the one in the UK. There were free baby wipes in baby changing areas. There was a basic water play area but the water was very cold-even for August!... Clean and beautiful amusement park. Our 4 and 7 year old kids were excited. Two days in the amusement park and one night in the castle hotel was perfect time. Good food for fair price in all park restaurants. Would come back again. It was awesome and there is so much of American mountains along with many other different attractions.
there are all the attractions made from lego. There was also coffee shops. This is a fierce day event A great park for kids and adults. Once the kids are over 90 cm of hight, they can go on many of the attractions as the rollercoasters, trains, water slide etc. Kids of 110 cm and higher can enjoy almost all attractions. It's a fantastic park with a lot of variety for kids until about 10 years old, after it... A nice playground for adults and childs also. It's a lego town where you can enjoy all the attractions. Very nice and interesting place with games suitable for kids and others for adults. It has reasonable coast and I advise the annual cart for multi visitA visit to Denmark's Legoland, the mothership of all things Lego, is a hit with kids. Young-at-heart travelers, like this boy in Rome, make their own fun wherever they go. When parents tell me they're going to Europe and ask me where to take their kids, I'm sometimes tempted to answer, "To Grandma and Grandpa's on your way to the airport."
It's easy to make the case against taking the kids along. A European vacation with kids in tow is much more about playgrounds and petting zoos than about museums and churches. And traveling with kids can be expensive. Out of exhaustion and frustration, you may opt for pricey conveniences like taxis and any restaurant with a child-friendly menu. Two adults with kids can end up spending twice as much to experience about half the magic of Europe. But traveling with kids, you'll live more like Europeans and less like tourists. Your children are like ambassadors, opening doors to new experiences and countless conversations. With kids, you'll be forced to discard your tourist armor and become a temporary European — as a parent. Some of my best travel memories wouldn't have happened without my kids. Because my son was in the car, I once detoured to watch a "Petit League" baseball tournament in southern France — and debated ball and strike calls behind home plate with a pan-European bunch of parents.
I'm no horseman, but because my daughter had her heart set on it, I've trotted along leafy bridle paths in the Cotswolds (next time I'll wear long pants). Let the kid in you set the itinerary, and everyone will have a good time. Somehow even the big-ticket family attractions — the kind I normally avoid — have more appeal in Europe. Europe's Disneyland, outside Paris, has all the familiar rides and characters. But Mickey Mouse speaks French, and you can buy wine with your lunch. My kids went ducky for it. With upward of 15 million visitors a year, Disneyland Paris has become the Continent's single leading tourist destination. Also a hit, but on a more Danish scale, is Legoland, a fun sight for kids (lots of them blond) and their parents. Sixty million of the plastic bricks are arranged into extraordinarily detailed depictions of such wonders as Mount Rushmore, the Parthenon, and "Mad" King Ludwig's castle. Anyone who has ever picked up or stepped on a Lego will marvel at these meticulous representations.
Nostalgic parents and their children enjoy Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, which recently celebrated its 150th birthday. This 20-acre park is happily and simply Danish, without commercial glitz. You pay one admission price and find yourself lost in a genteel Hans Christian Andersen wonderland of rides, restaurants, games, marching bands, roulette wheels, and funny mirrors. Certain European cities seem built for kids. London eliminates the language barrier, and has some of the best museums for children — the Natural History Museum (dinosaur bones), Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood (toys, doll houses, and games going back to the 1600s), and Science Museum (hands-on fun). Hyde Park, London's backyard, is the perfect place for kids to play, ride bikes, and run free. My kids enjoyed the pirate-themed playground. Barcelona bubbles with inexpensive, quirky sights and an infectious human spirit. There's a fun, hill-capping amusement park, "magic" fountains that put on a free light-and-sound spectacle most summer nights, a chocolate museum (no explanation needed), and one of Europe's best urban beach scenes.
Venice doesn't need an amusement park — it is one big fantasy world. It's safe and like nothing else your kids have ever seen. Riding a vaporetto across the lagoon to the Lido, Venice's beach island, is nearly as fun as the beach itself. Another canal-lined city, Amsterdam, has a special charm for kids. Its electric trams are an enjoyable ride, as are the boats that tour the canals. At NEMO, the kid-friendly science museum, it's forbidden not to touch. Older kids will want to make a pilgrimage to the house where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary. Whichever city you are in, take advantage of the legacy of Europe's royal past: spacious parks and an abundance of castles. Give in to your inner toy soldier and line up with your kids for the changing of the guard at Prague's Castle or London's Buckingham Palace. Take a picnic break in Berlin's sprawling Tiergarten Park, once a royal hunting ground. Vienna's formerly royal Prater Park tempts young and old with its sprawling amusement park, huge red Ferris wheel, and miles of green space.
