Then, hear from expert travel writer and mum Laura Hall as she shares the Top Five attractions to do in the greater Billund Area. This list includes multiple Viking cultural sites (yes, there is dress-up involved!) as well as something called a Seaweed Safari. You'll have to listen to find out! Find Laura's work on her website at HelloLauraHall.com.

Mama Knows Best...Live!
We catch up with mum Joanna Peñaranda - in a special live recording during her visit to LEGOLAND Billund Resort! - for on-the-ground thoughts, tricks, and tips from somebody who's close to the action. Listen closely and you'll also hear from her adorable four-year-old twins, Sylvia and Oriol...they particularly love the new Peppa Pig play area.
