One of newest attractions in Billund is an amusement water park and holiday resort Lalandia. It is one of the largest water parks in the entire Denmark. The country has two of these resorts. The first was opened in 1988 in Rodby, and it is indeed the largest water park in the country. Lalandia Billund has been opened in 2009 and offers all facilities for the people of all ages – from small children to old ones. There is available a large number of water attractions for you, but also a variety of relaxing treatments, restaurants and shops.

The town of Billund is otherwise not very interesting, however it is an ideal starting point for exploring beautiful and historically important areas. From here you can get e.g. to Jelling, Ribe, Kolding or Esbjerg.
