More than 44 million children and adults have visited LEGOLAND ® Billund since it opened in 1968.
When LEGOLAND opened in 1968, the park covered an area of 38,000 m 2 . Today LEGOLAND covers
an area of 140,000 m 2 .
59 million! That’s how many LEGO ® bricks have been used to build LEGOLAND Billund. If you line up
all those bricks, they would stretch 1,476 km, and reach from Billund in Denmark to Verona in Italy.
The largest LEGO model in LEGOLAND is Mount Rushmore with the four American Presidents. The
model is built with a total of 1.5 million LEGO bricks and 40,000 DUPLO bricks.
The smallest LEGO model is the dove in Miniland, which was build with four small, white LEGO bricks.
The King’s castle cost DKK 45 million to build. Decorating the Castle required 160 tonnes of crushed
granite and 150 tonnes of granite boulders. The King’s castle is the largest single investment in the
park. It was built in only eight months, which makes it the fastest built castle in Denmark.
In the autumn, some 80,000 spring flowering bulbs are planted in LEGOLAND. That results in colourful
flowers from early spring, before the spring leaves sprinkle their green over the park.
There are four LEGOLAND parks in the world: LEGOLAND Windsor in England, LEGOLAND California
near San Diego in the USA, LEGOLAND Deutschland in Southern Germany and LEGOLAND Billund.
You would have to put about 40,000,000,000 (40 billion) LEGO bricks on top of one another in order to
reach the Moon.
On average, every person on Earth has 52 LEGO bricks.
Seven LEGO boxes are sold every second.
Six plain coloured, eight knob bricks can be combined in 915,103,765 ways.
