LEGO® House in Billund, Denmark

LEGO® House

The LEGO® House is a unique experience centre where you can play with the world-famous LEGO BRICK. The first Lego factory was built here, and the headquarter is still here.

As a neighbour to the world-famous Legoland Amusement Park in Billund in Southern Jutland, the Lego family has created the perfect conditions for a unique visit for you and your family in the surroundings, where it all began back in 1947.

The LEGO House is a museum and experience centre in Billund, the LEGO brand's birthplace. The LEGO House was opened to the public in September 2017 and is a 12,000-square-meter building designed to look like giant LEGO bricks stacked on each other.

The LEGO® House results from an idea and dreams the LEGO family conceived years ago. With this 'House', LEGO® celebrate creativity and the strength of learning through play. When children play, they learn the basic skills they need, such as creativity, collaboration and problem-solving abilities - all this you can get by playing with the tiny bricks.
