Legoland Deutschland, Legoland theme park in Günzburg, Germany
Legoland Deutschland is a theme park in Günzburg, Bavaria, with 64 attractions across 11 themed areas and thousands of models built from more than 55 million Lego bricks. Its Miniland shows miniature towns and landmarks, including a 5-metre-wide, 1.5-ton Lego model of Munich's Allianz Arena. The resort also includes the Legoland Feriendorf with four hotels, holiday homes and a campsite.
The park opened its gates on May 17, 2002, becoming the first official Legoland park in Germany, with initial construction using 50 million Lego bricks. Since then, the site has undergone several expansions that added new themed areas and rides.
The Miniland section displays replicas of German and European landmarks built entirely from Lego bricks, representing regional architecture and engineering. Visitors can recognize monuments from their own region or from other parts of the continent and admire the craftsmanship behind each model.
The park lies near the A8 motorway between Munich and Stuttgart, with Günzburg station as the nearest rail stop. The entrance area has twenty gates, so check the gate number on your ticket before joining a line. The grounds cover 43.5 hectares, and the holiday village sits east of the park.
The grounds contain a scale replica of Munich's Allianz Arena built from Lego, weighing 1.5 tons and measuring 5 meters (16 feet) in width. This construction is considered the largest Lego building in the world and required months of meticulous assembly work.
