jackGeneral overview of legoland (the Denmark one)? It's awesome if you like lego :)
It's about 2km from Billund airport (Billund is the town where Lego is), which is the closest destination to an airport I think I've ever flown to.
There's lots of lego. There are many giant sculptures made of lego. Often of dragons.
It's probably most enjoyable as a mixed group of children and adults, but most people will get something out of it. There's a lot of effort to make it inviting, e.g. in the hotel the showers have separate, normal-height and lower-height showers.
There's a spectrum, the oldest bits tend to be tiny models of Danish and other European scenery. IIRC lego has stayed backwards compatible since about when it was launched, but the oldest things, you can see the building style is noticeably older, even if the bricks are the same. And then there are "pirate world", "wild west world", "ninjago world" etc, each with a couple of rides, ranging from sedate to roller-coasters, with lots of lego themes and scenery, and other relevant attractions, and big bins of lego for people to play with.
And a few notable things in the middle, like lego safari, and boat ride past famous world landmarks.
The water rides were especially fun.
I don't know how representative our experience was, but the queues were not-that-bad on sunny danish bank holiday weekend days (40min for the most popular rollercoaster, less for everything else, or first or last thing), and there were almost no queues at all on a normal weekday, we rode several rides round several times on the trot.
I also enjoyed the non-lego-themed Billund sculpture trail just outside.
(One caveat, the representation of native american culture in wild west world didn't seem very appropriate. I asked them to fix it but I image that will take a while.)
