Legoland® is a group of Lego® themed adventure parks with four locations worldwide. They offer Lego®-themed attractions primarily aimed at children and families, including replicas of major landmarks built entirely of Lego® blocks. The parks also feature a Lego® Mindstorms area for an educational experience and offer dining facilities.
Legoland® is a group of Lego® themed adventure parks. There are currently four Legoland® parks around the world: Legoland® Billund in the home country of the Lego® company, Denmark, along with Legoland® Deutschland in Germany, Legoland® Windsor in England and Legoland® California. The parks offer an assortment of Lego®-themed attractions, primarily aimed at children and families.
The Lego Group was founded in Denmark in the 1950s, although the blocks associated with the company weren’t perfected until 1963. Lego® plastic blocks are designed to fit together and come apart, so they can be reconfigured indefinitely . They were inspired by wooden play blocks, which have long been popular with children. In addition to the classic Lego® bricks, the company also releases accessories and kits covering themes ranging from medieval knights to outer space.
Legoland® parks expand on the concept, featuring a number of themed areas to explore alongside replicas of major landmarks built entirely of Lego® blocks in an area called Miniland. Each park has different rides and replicas, depending on the country. California’s Legoland®, for example, includes a replica of the Las Vegas strip, while Legoland® Windsor has Lego® block constructions of London’s landmarks. Some of the rides, such as the Dragon Coaster, are common to all four Legoland® parks.
Most of the rides and activities in Legoland® parks are designed for children aged two to 12. The little ones can find activities in the Duplo® area of the park, which takes its name from the largest blocks produced by the Lego Group for the little ones. Older children can ride bumper cars, ride gentle roller coasters and participate in interactive activities.
Popular areas of the Legoland® parks include a pirate-themed area, where guests can ride on boats that appear to be built out of Lego® blocks, and an adventure land for older children with more extreme roller coasters. Another area has a medieval theme, with a castle built with Lego® blocks and a dragon-shaped roller coaster. Some of the parks offer a Viking-themed ride, complete with a water slide.
In addition to rides and Lego® replicas of major landmarks, Legoland® parks also feature a Lego® Mindstorms area for an educational experience. The parks offer the range of dining facilities expected of most theme parks, along with specific foods that cater for dietary sensitivities. Tickets are sold on a daily or annual basis and are available at the door and by direct order on the Legoland® website.
