Legoland Windsor
Product Rating  
Legoland Windsor is a great family day out. It is set in 150 acres of parkland and offers a variety of things to see and do, from the incredibly detailed reproductions of famous places in Miniland to shows, rides and play areas. Special events are held throughout the season as advertised.
There are lots of restaurants, snack bars, fast food stands and ice cream parlours located througout the park. Alternatively bring a picnic and sit on one of many grassy areas around the park. There are plenty of child friendly and disabled toilets located throughout the park. Wheelchair and pushchair access is excellent, with wheelchairs and pushchairs available for hire.
Legoland Windsor is situated on the B3022 (the Windsor/Ascot road) two miles from Windsor town centre. If travelling by road, take junction 13 from the M25, junction 6 from the M4 or junction 3 from the M3 and follow the signs to Legoland. There is extensive free parking at Legoland, with a small charge for the car park nearest the entrance. If travelling by train, South West trains run from London Waterloo to Windsor & Eton Riverside station and First Great Western trains run from London Paddington and Reading to Windsor & Eton Central (change at Slough). A shuttle bus runs from near both Windsor stations to Legoland. There are also taxis outside the train stations.

I am four years old and I like EVERYTHING at Legoland. I especially like the SCARY rides like the Dragon rollercoaster, and the Pirate Falls ride where you get really wet. My Mummy is too scared to go on it. I also like the puppet show and the Johnny Thunder show. The skyrider is a little bit scary, but I like it.

Legoland is full of rides from fairy tale brook to the jungle coaster. Go and get wet on pirate falls. Can you spot all the dinos on the Dino Safari. Go wild in the rat trap. Drive your own car in the driving school. Press down on the pedal and grab the wheel, it's not in a car it's a boat. Watch and see how Johny defeats the evil queen, in Jonhy Thunder and the Aztec Queen.

Our family has been going to Legoland for years, and we love it. It's quite expensive if you only go once, but if you're going to go more often during the year it's definitely worth getting an annual pass. The car parking is free, unless you want to park in the nearest one to the entrance. My favourite bit of Legoland is Miniland where there are the most amazing models of famous places - the "London" area has detailed models of buildings like St. Paul's Cathedral and the "Gherkin." What excites little children in Miniland are the lego trains that move around, disappearing under the ground and popping up again somewhere else. The rides range from the very gentle, but totally charming, Fairy Tale Brook to the Jungle Coaster rollercoaster. Height restrictions apply but even very young children can go on most things if accompanied by an adult. Queuing up for rides can be pretty tiresome with young children but there's lots you can do at Legoland without queuing up at all - puppet show, Johnny Thunder show, Duplo Play Town, the Rat Trap, the Viking maze, the Explorer's Institute, Miniland and rooms where you can build skyscrapers or lego racing cars and test them out on racing tracks. If you get to the park when it first opens (usually 10am) then it's worth heading straight down to the areas at the back of the park and doing some of the rides, like the Boating School and Driving School, before the queues build up, and then do things like Miniland later on when the rides are busier. There are lots of restaurants around the park, although some can get very busy at peak times. The service in some of the restaurants and the ice cream parlour near the harbour can be frustratingly slow. If you can be bothered to carry a picnic around with you then that's worth considering if the weather is good. One last tip - the entrance is on top of a big hill. It's fine going down the hill, but you might want to take the Hill Train to get back up. Great day out - thoroughly recommended.
