Legoland Windsor Day Trip
Bring back memories with a visit to Legoland - Fun for all ages
A day trip to Legoland is a great family activity and will be an especially big hit with the kids. It offers a total of 55 exciting rides and attractions inside a beautiful 150 acre park site.
Legoland Windsor was the first Legoland theme park to open since the original Legoland attraction in Denmark. It first opened in 1996, attracting about 1,400,000 visitors in it's first year. Since opening the theme park has added new attractions and rides almost every year.
Kids and adults alike will marvel at the complex and sophisticated recreations of famous buildings, landmarks and more, all created with LEGO. Many of the rides in Legoland are especially suited to younger children. Like many theme parks, Legoland is divided up into sections, each portraying a different theme. These include the Imagination Centre, Miniland, Traffic, DuploLand, LEGO City, Kingdom of the Pharaohs, Pirates Landing, Knight's Kingdom and Adventure Land. An astounding 55 million LEGO bricks have gone into the construction of all the models in the park. To see a preview of some of the fun rides check out the video at the bottom of the page.
Legoland is only a short distance from Windsor Castle so you may want to combine the two into a single day trip, however it certainly possible to spend a full day exploring either.
Tip: Save some money by bringing a picnic lunch with you.
Legoland's season is from April to November (see below).

Legoland Windsor Reviews
Rated
out of 5 A quick honest review! I enjoyed it overall especially all the Lego themed stuff, however it was the first hilly park I've been to which I didn't expect so prepare for a hilly walk and the app was great but the queue times were all a lot longer than they stated. Good that you can take in food and refill water bottles. Would go back but the car park getting out was horrendous

Only took a few photos, as was enjoying ourselves too much!
Fantastic day out, although we felt the food and drink was stupidly overpriced, so would advise anyone visiting to take a picnic and a supply of bottled drinks or cans.
Other than that, no other complaints at all

Had a great day here with lots to do and see, with a lot of walking to reach different areas. The weather wasn't great, but many of the rides were still running. A number of the rides weren't running due to maintenance from mid-September. They had a few events on schedule and "Brick or Treat" singalong.
The Lego miniature world was great to see, and moving vehicles and figures made it come to life. My son watched the spaceshuttle takeoff at least 3 times with smoke and sound effects it was great fun to see. The rides were perfect for younger kids, but the queues were fairly long for popular rides, so I recommend getting the Legoland Windsor app so you can plan your rides and track the queues. A nice feature on the app is that it can direct you to the ride. The signs are there but hard to follow when searching for rides. They have a number of playgrounds for kids, which lets you keep the young ones entertained without queueing.
The food in the place there was better than I expected and with adequate indoor seating. There are plenty of benches for people to rest at around, so if you have grandparents or kids who need to stop and rest, they can. There is a hill climb train for when you leave, which takes you back to the entrance, so you don't need to climb the hill on foot when you're tired from the day of fun.
Overall, it was a great day out, and we will be visiting again.

Lots of family fun.
We had a great time, lots to do for all the family. the Rides were fun and suitable for all ages. There was play equipment and the water park drench towers was very popular on a hot summers day.
The park was clean and there were Suncream dispensers around the park so you could help yourself to suncream which I thought was fantastic.
Lovely day out, highly recommended.

I’ll start with the positives first-
It’s a great day out with family, it’s a very fun day for the kids and even adults.
The rides are great, they are perfect for the kids as they do not teeter into the scary genre for them.
The live pirate show is really good. Even with them performing it over and over every 30 mins or so the staff seem to really put all their effort into it.
The food is decently priced for what you get.
the gate price is quite good.
The Negatives-
You HAVE to get the speedy tickets as they let far too many people into the park.
This means that if you go standard admission you will basically be in a line the entire visit.
The Viking ride was closed perm
2x rides broke down. One was broken upon open the second we waited in queue for 1.5 hours before then having them fix it and let us on.
The place seems to need a clean. It looks dilapidated in the miniature section and the front entrance sign. It needs a good old wash.
Charging for parking is embarrassing when no one is going to park there unless they want to go to the park.
Over all-
It was a good day out but it feels the park has become very dated looking with dirtiness and a lack of investment back into the park.
It feels it has absolutely fallen off compared to how it was 10-5 years ago.
The queues are ridiculous and clearly a driver for them to get you to pay even more to skip queues. I get that a theme park you are going to wait in a queue. It’s just how it works. But the queues are far too big because they allow too many people into the park.
It’s still got charm and worth a visit. While it feeds into exactly what they want, I would suggest go a week day when school is on or pay for the queue skip pass to actually be able to go on the attractions. You’ll end up only going on like 4 rides the entire day

How to get to Legoland Windsor by Tube and National Rail
From Paddington Station purchase a National Rail Ticket for the First Great Western Line to Windsor and Eton Central Station. There will be a transfer between trains at Slough Station. Total time on the train including the transfer varies between 26 and 50 minutes depending on which train you catch.
When you arrive at Windsor and Eton Central Station walk south on High Street to the bus stop in front of the Windsor Parish Church (about 1 block south of Windsor Castle). Take the Route 191 or Route 200 Shuttle bus to Legoland. Buses run approximately every 20 minutes and the ride takes about the same. This bus service is not operated by Legoland and therefore requires a separate fare, however you can purchase a combination fare covering both the train and shuttle bus at the train station when you start your trip.
Use the National Rail Journey Planner to get details and departure times for you trip.
