Legoland ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|l|ɛ|ɡ|oʊ|l|æ|n|d}}, trademarked in uppercase as LEGOLAND) is a chain of family amusement parks focusing on the Lego building toy brand. They are owned and operated by the British theme park company Merlin Entertainments, which shares a common owner (Kirkbi A/S) with the Lego Group.

The Legoland Billund Resort opened in Billund, Denmark, in 1968, followed by the Legoland Windsor Resort in Windsor, United Kingdom, in 1996. Further parks opened in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), the United States (California, Florida, and New York), and a Legoland Water Park at Gardaland in Castelnuovo del Garda, Italy throughout the 21st century. Parks in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Shenzhen} are currently under construction.

Attractions

The parks are marketed to families with children between ages 2–12,{{Cite web |title=LEGO Attractions {{!}} LEGOLAND |url=https://www.lego.com/en-us/attractions |access-date=26 October 2023 |website=www.lego.com |language=en}} and most attractions are geared towards younger children. Attractions consist primarily of outdoor flat rides, dark rides, interactive play structures, and splash pads, as well as designated stations for playing with Lego bricks.{{Cite web |title=The Ultimate Guide to Legoland New York |url=https://www.parents.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-legoland-new-york-6751205 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221125070128/https://www.parents.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-legoland-new-york-6751205 |archive-date=25 November 2022 |access-date=26 October 2023 |website=Parents |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=21 August 2023 |title=Your Guide to LEGOLAND Florida Resort |url=https://www.visitflorida.com/travel-ideas/articles/legoland-florida-guide/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231026035014/https://www.visitflorida.com/travel-ideas/articles/legoland-florida-guide/ |archive-date=26 October 2023 |access-date=26 October 2023 |website=www.visitflorida.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Legoland Guide |url=https://www.legoland.co.il/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240911003149/https://www.legoland.co.il/ |archive-date=11 September 2024 |access-date=11 September 2024}}
