Legoland® Description: With LEGO as Denmark’s most famous gift to children, it’s not surprising that the country has built (literally) an amusement park from it. The renowned ten-hectare (25-acre) amusement park, which is located north of Billund, features attractions and rides built from no less than 40 million plastic LEGO blocks. Shows are performed daily by the Children’s Theatre, and there are also circus acts in high season. Adults and children can marvel at the detailed LEGO reconstructions of famous sights from around the world in Miniland; Duplo Land, with its chunkier bricks, is particularly popular with younger children. Visitors can meet Captain Roger and his parrot in Pirateland, whilst the dragon train in Castleland takes visitors on a whirlwind adventure into the Medieval Castle to meet kings and princesses. The sophisticated Port of Copenhagen exhibit, featuring electronically controlled trains, cranes and ships, is also a favourite for many, and more recent attractions, such as the X-treme Racers rollercoaster and the LEGO Racer area in Miniland, are set to prove popular with visitors during the 2002 season.
