24. European Adventures - Odense, Legoland, Denmark

24. Odense, Lego Land

The oldest Lego land is in Billund, Denmark.

Front Gate to Lego Land

What will it be like?  Yes, I know it’s for kids, but why not take a look.

It is on the way to Odense, well, we have to made a detour but so what, we have the time.

When we got there the parking lot was getting really full, of course it’s automated and we could drive right in, the beam closing off the parking lot was open there was nobody around, so we drove in and parked.

Entrance to the Lego Land Amusement Park

Kind of a mistake, because we saw later the beam was down, we had to get a ticket from a booth someplace in the park, then call the guy with the button on the pole and explain but he was nice…he let us go without charge.

Parking seems so logical to me, but when it is automated, machines have their own, arbitrary minds. I have my doubts about AI.

Above the Park Entrance

They wanted an admission fee of CAN $75, per person.  We looked through the fence and … it’s not the money alone, it’s just not us. Tons of children running around, amusement park rides, playful ‘romanticism and really no older folks. This was a family thing; we did not bring our Grandchildren so we turned around and left.

Just not for us. Nice for families, super nice for children!

Above the Park Entrance

Well, we saw a bit of Denmark while we drove there and now we are on the way to Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson (HCA)!

But first we had to find our hotel and just zonk out, all this travelling is tiring.
