Vacation with kids

In LEGO® House, you can explore the History Collection, which is the world’s official LEGO® museum. Here you can explore how a small carpentry workshop in Billund has developed to become one of the world’s most popular toys today, and you can see some of the most iconic models through the ages. In the Masterpiece Gallery you will find some of the most amazing LEGO® designs you have ever seen. Talented artists that have used the LEGO® brick as their only creation material are celebrated here. The gallery functions as an actual museum where curators select artworks, which are exhibited for a limited time period.

Tornado water slide for the kids, relaxing hot tub for the parents

Did you know that Northern Europe’s largest water park is located in Billund? At Lalandia you can easily spend an entire day in the pool going down steep, twisting and fast slides. If you’re more into the relaxing pool experience, there is also a wellness facility with hot tubs or maybe you are interested in taking a float down the heated Lazy River.

It may be Northern Europe’s largest water park, but they offer a lot more than pools and slides. Lalandia also offers a big playground where the kids can be set free at the giant playground, Monky Tonky Land. They can play on the ball field with foam floor, get creative in the children workshop, and of course play in an area filled with LEGO®. If you are visiting Lalandia in winter time, you can experience the magical Winter World. You can skate, sledge, climb, ski down an endless ski slope and ride bumper cars on ice.

Rhinos or dinosaurs?

Many of the activities in Billund require a great deal of energy and running around. We get that this can be stressful and draining for many parents. So why not bring the kids for a ride around Givskud Zoo? Givskud Zoo began as a lion park in 1969, but today it is a large safari park with about 50 different animal species. See lions, buffalos, giraffes, rhinos, antelopes and many more animals you normally would find in the African savannah or in South and North America. The animals live in a large enclosed area and Givskud Zoo has made it as similar to their natural habitat as possible.

Take your car or a guided tour and drive around the park to see the animals up close. Givskud Zoo is different in this way, the animals are not kept in cages, instead they have plenty of room and many of them live together in different zones that reflect their natural habitats as much as possible.

If you instead are looking for a bit scarier surroundings, then take a trip to Denmark’s largest dinosaur park. The park is part of Givskud Zoo and shows the most extensive dinosaur exhibition ever in Denmark and shows more than 50 dinosaurs in natural size. Here you can meet the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex, the ton heavy Triceratops and the long-necked plant eater Diplodocus. After having said hello to all the extinct creations, you can go about the park in search for fossils and dig for bones.

They say themselves that the play area is for kids between 0 – 14 years, but parents are enjoying the place at least as much as the kids are.

Sit back and relax with a magazine or enjoy the free WiFi and keep track of your kids at the same time.

Take the kids to Aarhus

Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city and culture capital. It is a beautiful city with many cosy cobblestone streets and small boutiques. But walking around shopping in the city, might not be the most fun activity for the kids. Instead you should bring the kids to some of the many family friendly attractions in Aarhus.
 
Deer petting or twisting roller-coasters

Kids love amusement parks. That’s just the way it is, and who can blame them? Tivoli Friheden is a given choice when on vacation with the kids in Aarhus. Here you will find many thrilling roller-coasters giving you butterflies in the stomach, chocolate wheels to test your luck and a 5D cinema tickling your senses. Tivoli Friheden doesn’t only have rides that are suitable for all ages, they also offer attractions like mini golf, motor boats and a haunted house. Of course, they also offer a wide selection of restaurants with many different types of food and drinks.

However, if you are looking for a calmer activity that is more interactive you should take the kids to The Deer Park. The friendly animals are set free in a large green area where you are allowed to walk among them. The deer are used to people so you can safely take the kids close to them and allow them to pet the soft animals. A vacation with kids can be expensive but being outside is free. Let the kids get off their phones and tablets for a change and take them into nature where they can run around and play.

If the kids are a bit older you might be interested in checking out the top attractions in Aarhus.
