It is the LEGO philosophy that ‘good quality play’ enriches a child’s life – and lays the foundation for later adult life. They believe that play is a key element in children's growth and development, and stimulates the imagination, the emergence of ideas and creative expression.
The company also co-owns a chain, along with Merlin Entertainments, of Lego-themed theme parks. The chain currently consists of six resorts: Legoland Billund, Legoland Windsor, Legoland Deutschland, Legoland Malaysia, Legoland California and Legoland Florida. The LEGO Group continues to aspire to expand its global presence; eventually reaching children in every country of the world.
