I’m in Denmark with my family, we visited Lego House and I have to admit it helped with my love for Lego in a time where my anti-consumerism is much stronger than ever. The activities are exciting, different and crazy fun. The absence of external IP sets helped a lot (if we don’t consider the shop).
But above all the attention to disabilities and neurodivergent needs. It’s wholesome, expecially given how Lego is important in the lives of many people with disability. In the pictures some of the devices at your disposal for sensory accessibility (headphones, fidget toys, mood tables), braille explainations and video in two different sign languages, danish and international.
Edit: I forgot to talk about free tampons and pads in the bathroom. I see so few of them in Italy, I was nearly in tears.
If only their stores weren’t sensory helish nightmares.
Yeah, I guess that the predatory capitalism of Lego comes back full force in official shops
Cool! I’m considering visiting Billund this summer.
Is there much to see in Billund, Lego-wise? How long should one stay? Anything one must/should book in advance? Any other travel tips? :)
We stayed since 10 til 16 in the Lego House, there is just so much to do. I think we could have stayed even more if we didn’t have other plans. We visited Jelling, small village with an amazing viking site, I guess 2 hours to chill and hear about Vikings are totally worth it. We didn’t visit Legoland though.
Tomorrow we will be in Vejle and Roskilde, the next day in Copenaghen.
I have to say it is a beautiful and chill trip, we are doing things at my mother’s pace, driving around a calming and green scenery.
