The History of LEGOLAND Parks

Описание: Long before there were roller coasters, Miniland skylines, and yellow minifigures, there was a small woodworking shop in Billund, Denmark.


In this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, Kevin takes listeners on a comprehensive journey through the history of LEGOLAND—starting with Ole Kirk Christiansen’s early struggles, the invention of the LEGO brick, and the surprising path that led from factory tours to full-scale theme parks around the world.


Along the way, we explore:

• How LEGO survived fires, financial collapse, and reinvention
• The creation of Miniland and the first LEGOLAND park in Billund
• The evolution of minifigures, themed lands, and licensed IP
• The expansion of LEGOLAND parks across Europe, the U.S., Asia, and beyond
• How ownership changes shaped the modern LEGOLAND experience

Whether you’re a lifelong LEGO fan, a theme park history buff, or someone who’s ever wandered through a LEGOLAND park wondering how it all came to be—this episode lays the foundation.
