Going down the Childhood Memory Lane - Legoland Billund, Denmark 2nd April 2011

Back in 2011, I had heard that Malaysia would be the next honourable host of every kid's dreamland (a.k.a Legoland). My friend told me it would probably not happen. I had read reviews and comments that it must not be missed since Legoland originated from Denmark and I was just a train ride away from there! So, I went ahead and planned a trip to Legoland in Billund, Denmark.

Well, it is not exactly a place that is easily reachable at any time convenient to you unless you drive if you are coming from the Copenhagen or other cities. Otherwise, you should take a look at the train and bus schedules. They do not frequent as much as the trains and buses in Copenhagen. Yes, you need to take a train and then change to a bus, which will take you directly to there should you depart from Copenhagen city.
Families with kids are advised to either drive there or stay over at the Legoland hotel which is just within walking distance from Legoland so that there is no hurry to meet the bus or train schedule. If not mistaken, there is also a multiple entry ticket which covers a number of days' visit in case there is not enough time for a day's visit.

Lucky stars were bestowed upon us. We managed to get a 50% discounted entry ticket to Legoland because it was the opening to welcome spring (in April) after a long winter break. Additionally, we also got a 50% discount on the DSB train ride! Double yay ;) because the train fare was not cheap especially for weekend rides. The tip is also that, you should get your tickets online. We went to the ticket booth and the tickets were not discounted!

It would have been perfect if the weather was better. The sky was gray and it actually rained hence making it a challenge to produce nice photographs. Anyhooo.....we still snapped away :p
Gee,....was that really me??! I looked funny...Anyway, the main focus here is Legoland! Notice the crowd?
There was a miniature land which featured many renowned architectures or historical buildings.












































Giant crab in Sealife Aquarium. Notice the spherical observation room behind the giant creature? You could crawl below the aquarium and emerge right in the spherical room to take a close look at the crab and a photograph with it :)
