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![]()
Some of the rides and cafés were closed as we went in late December (no price reduction though), but it was still wonderful to go with the whole family and friends who were visiting. We had a great time even though it was cold, and as we went straight to the back of the park we had some veey short ride times. The 4D experience was a bit hit and miss, there wasn't much of a story, just flashing lights, wind and fast moving 3D animation, They should make a 4D Bluey experience or something.
Overall, I would definitely go back in the Spring or Summer, especially if we got Merlin Passes because that would make it worth it, and the kids would be able to actually play outside and enjoy more experiences. They did have lockers which was useful, but as we had priority parking the car was very close, that was worth it as well.

Everything is awesome… 🎶 and that pretty much sums up our trip to Legoland Windsor!
Me, my wife and our two children (7 and 5) absolutely loved every minute. We went for two days on the 2nd day free deal and I honestly can’t recommend that enough.
Our first morning was pretty rainy, but if anything it made the whole experience better. The park was much quieter, queues were short and really well managed, and we could get straight onto the rides we wanted without the usual long waits. By the afternoon the weather cleared up, it stayed relatively quiet, and it felt like we had the best of both worlds.
Ride-wise, there was something for all of us. Flight of the Sky Lion was my personal favourite – brilliant theming and genuinely exciting. My wife loved Deep Sea Adventure, and the kids were obsessed with… well, everything. They couldn’t even pick a favourite between the Driving School, the Haunted House Monster Party, the Dino Coaster, Flight of the Sky Lion and Deep Sea Adventure. That’s always a good sign.
Entry was smooth and straightforward, and the staff throughout the park were friendly and helpful. The Miniland cities are absolutely incredible – the detail in the Lego builds is mind-blowing and you could easily spend ages just wandering around taking it all in.
The 2nd day free deal makes a huge difference. Not feeling like you have to cram everything into one day takes the pressure off and makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable, especially with younger children.
Only downside? Food on-site is pretty extortionate – £12.50 for a hot dog is hard to swallow. Definitely take a packed lunch and plenty of snacks if you can.
Overall, a fantastic family break and a proper memory-maker. We’ll definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Impressive Lego village/city displays, brilliantly done but a lot of the park was closed/under repair/undergoing maintenance. Staff were absent and the place seemed rudderless, other than the stores and shops. We probably just picked the wrong time to visit. Summer would be best.

Really enjoyable experience and the kids absolutely loved it.
We went in to the all you can eat pizza place for dinner and it was really good value for money.
The pizza and pasta was replaced quickly and was all served hot.
The only slight issue we had was were it was so busy it was a little messy however, after the mad rush of customers this was quickly dealt with by staff who cleaned the restaurant.

A number of rides were closed when we visited 28th December 2025. This didn't stop us enjoying the day. 6th Birthday treat. Perfect for that age group. Staff were friendly, parking was easy and toilets were clean.

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.
