1. Book Your Tickets Well in Advance
Lego House is a popular destination, and tickets can sell out quickly. Book your tickets ahead of time—ideally, more than a week before your visit. When you book, you’ll need to select a reservation time. This time simply indicates when you can enter Lego House, but once inside, you’re free to explore at your own pace and in any order you like.
2. Choose an Early Time Slot
You can stay at Lego House for as long as you want, so it’s a great idea to book the earliest time slot available. If you choose, for example, the 9:00 AM slot, you’ll have the entire day to explore all the incredible experience zones, shop, dine, and even relax on the rooftop terraces. The earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to soak it all in without feeling rushed.
3. Take Advantage of Free Lockers
Lego House provides free lockers for all visitors. These lockers are super convenient for storing your belongings. Just place your items inside, close the locker, and scan your wristband to lock it. You can reopen the locker by scanning your wristband again, and you can do this as many times as you need throughout the day. It’s a hassle-free way to keep your hands free and your items secure.
4. Reserve a Table at Mini Chef Restaurant
Dining at Lego House is an experience in itself, especially at the Mini Chef restaurant where you can build your own meal. You design your meal using the menu and Lego bricks and feed it into the mini chef device at each table, who will prepare your order. You then get to pick up your food from the serving robots Robert and Roberta.
The food at Mini Chef is excellent and the experience is well worth your time, especially for kids. This unique dining experience is incredibly popular, so be sure to reserve your table a few weeks in advance.
If you miss out on a reservation, don’t worry—there’s also the Brickaccino cafe inside Lego House, where you can enjoy coffee, drinks, and snacks without needing a reservation.
5. Explore Dining Options Outside Lego House
If you’re looking for more dining variety, consider heading to one of the nearby restaurants or cafes outside of Lego House. Options include pizza places, steakhouses, gastropubs, and even hotdog shops. You’re free to exit and re-enter Lego House throughout the day as many times as you like, so you can enjoy a meal outside and then return to continue your adventure.
6. Bring Your Own Food for a Picnic
If you’re keen to save some money or prefer to pack your own meals, Lego House has picnic tables both inside and outdoors where you can enjoy your food. It’s a great option for families or anyone looking to have a casual, budget-friendly lunch while still enjoying the fun atmosphere.
7. Visit Popular Attractions Early
Lego House is filled with interactive zones, but some experiences like the Robo Lab and the Stop Motion Movie Maker are particularly popular and can have long lines later in the day. If you’ve booked an early entry time, make these your first stops to avoid the crowds and get the most out of your visit.
8. Check for Special Talks and Tours
As soon as you arrive, take a moment to check the lobby signs for information on special talks and tours happening that day. These events often include fascinating stories about exclusive Lego House products and other behind-the-scenes insights. They’re not to be missed if you want to deepen your Lego knowledge.
9. Shop Smart at the Lego Store
The Lego store inside Lego House offers some fantastic exclusive sets, sometimes including pieces signed by the designers themselves. However, the store tends to get busier as the day progresses, so it’s wise to visit early. If you make a purchase, the store can hold onto your items until you’re ready to leave, or you can use one of the free lockers. Don’t forget to check out the custom mini-figure station, where you can design your own Lego character—another popular activity best done earlier in the day.
10. Convenient Parking Options
If you’re driving, you have two main parking options. The paid parking lot is just a two-minute walk from Lego House, with the first hour free and subsequent hours costing 20 DKK. There is also a height limit for vehicles of 2 metres.
Alternatively, there’s a free parking lot at Granvej 9, about a 15-minute walk from Lego House. The free lot is great for saving money or if you have a larger vehicle like a caravan or RV that is taller than 2 metres.
11. Don’t Miss the Lego History Museum
Located in the basement, the Lego History Museum is a must-visit. This fascinating exhibit walks you through the history of Lego—how it all began, how the brand found its purpose, and how it became a global toy giant. It’s an enlightening experience for anyone interested in the story behind those iconic bricks.
12. Explore the Rooftop Terraces
Before you leave, be sure to check out the rooftop terraces. These colorful outdoor spaces are packed with play equipment for kids and provide a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the view. Each terrace has a unique design, making them a fun and vibrant part of your Lego House experience.
