A MAJOR Lego attraction less than two hours from the UK is getting a new experience this month.
Lego House in Billund, Denmark, has launched a new Lego Master Academy Level 1 attraction, where visitors can build together with a number of animal-inspired challenges.
Called ‘Splash into the Bricks’, the new experience involves hands-on building in the Home of the Brick in a creative pond world, “where ducks fly, frogs spin, and buzzing bugs come to life through Lego play”.
The experience will be the most accessible level of Lego Masters Academy with a focus on curiosity, experimentation and play.
In total, the experience lasts one hour and the guided building session is led by Lego House Play Agents.
Guests can create their own ducks, frogs and little bugs as well as build catapults, spinners and slingshots.

And there’s the chance to interact with other guests too, through group challenges.
At the end of the session, visitors even get to take home their builds.
For the launch of the new experience, there will be two sessions featuring well-known Lego designers and Lego Masters judges.
The first session on February 9 will include Lego Masters Denmark judge Soren Dyrhoj and the second session on February 16, will feature Lego Design Lead, and Lego Masters US judge Amy Corbett.
Lego House is a much-loved family attraction that is spread over 12,000 square metres and boasts 25million Lego bricks.
The Sun’s Head Of Travel (Digital) Caroline McGuire took her six-year-old son to the Billund attraction last summer, said: “I’m not sure that any attraction has wowed me quite as much as Lego house.
“We spent seven hours inside the building, seeing how the blocks are made, building our own characters, making our own short Lego movie and even having our food delivered by Lego robots.
“As a mum whose child is obsessed with Lego, I was expecting him to love it – but I wasn’t expecting to love it myself.
“And yet, I thoroughly enjoyed every single activity.
“I happily sat for half an hour building a bouquet of Lego flowers, I loved making my own lego robot that danced on a video screen and I still have myself and my child in Lego miniature on our mantelpiece at home.
“For a place to inspire creativity and joy in so many adults AND children is really rare – usually it’s aimed at one or the other.”
Speaking on the new experience Soren Bering Andersen, head of experiences at Lego House said: “Lego Masters Academy Level 1 is about Lego play bringing people together.
“It’s a space where families and guests of all ages can build, laugh, and explore creativity together.
“Everyone meets the bricks on equal terms, and the fun comes from sharing the experience.”
For those who want to progress their skills further, there is the Level 2, in which there is a focus on specific Lego building techniques as well as more challenges.
In Level 3, visitors then progress to advanced designs and storytelling challenges.
Visitors can also explore an outdoor play area and there is a cafe on-site too for a bite to eat.
And, the attraction is just a nine minute drive from the airport, making it the ideal activity if you are on the way to the airport.
