The Lego brick was invented by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen in 1958.[2] After the brand's success, employees at the Lego factory in Billund, Denmark, started to put Lego models outside. As these models became popular with visitors to the factory, it was decided to turn them into a tourist attraction - this became the first ever Legoland.[3] The first Legoland Discovery Centre was opened in Berlin in 2007, and since then a total of 12 LEGOLAND Discovery centers have been opened. LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Chicago opened in 2008 and was the first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in North America.[4]
