Took the kids down on Saturday. It's a private collection of Lego and Puzz3D sets. A seriously impressive collection for a single individual and some very cool sets (including a lovely "employee only" model Ole Kirk's House) but not really worth the trip or price of admission by itself...

As it was only an extra 7/8 euro we opted for the ticket that gets you a tour of the house too (€25), had a picnic in the gardens and let the kids run loose on the playground for a bit which made an afternoon of it.

If you're local (or within 30 minutes drive as we are) it could be worth a trip but I wouldn't make a long journey for it.

What's the cost to get in to it? I've recommended it to my sister but I don't want her getting her kids hopes up if it's going to be too pricey.

It's a pretty small one, down a bit to the right of the front of the house.
