Legoland Billund, the original
Legoland park, opened on June 7, 1968 in
Billund,
Denmark. The park is located next to the original
Lego factory and Denmark's second busiest airport
Billund Airport. Over 1.9 million guests visited the park in 2011 and since the opening more than 50 million guests have visited the park. This makes Legoland the largest tourist attraction in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. The Legoland parks that have since been built are modelled upon Legoland Billund, most noticeably the Miniland area which is made up of millions of Lego bricks.
