NEW FOR 2018: WILD ANIMALS IN THE SAND In spring 2018 a sand sculpture park was constructed at Lalandia. The sand sculptures have been created by international artists and depict wild animals. The theme will change each year. The sand sculpture park is next to the Espresso House café bar, which opened in 2017. THE LALANDIA AQUADOME The Lalandia Aquadome in Billund, at 10,000 m 2, is Scandinavia s largest waterpark. The water in the tropical waterpark is 28 C and the air is 30 C.
