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 4.1 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating It was wonderful. It is old, but there are new rides and areas. The pirate show was great and the staff was nice. The worst part would be, as usual at these parks, the food, but there are different fast food options as expected and no long waiting. I would recommend the park specially for kids between 6 to 12

4 Star Rating Fun place, we enjoyed the rides and Miniland and all the sculptures dotted around. We will be back, as one day is not enough to do everything, especially with young kids/babies. Facilities are good, baby changing, toilets... Knocked off a star for the abysmal food, though. We went during the week, and most of the restaurants were closed. The food stalls are full of salty, sugary junk. A disgrace really, considering how many children come, and international tourists. We ended up in the Pizza Pasta buffet place. £21 per person (!!) And there was next to nothing for vegans. Salad bar was fine, but no healthy dressings. Also wondering why the park is open to children during term time. There were loads of parents with school-aged children there. Do they just lie to schools and take their kids on a weekday to avoid big queues and price hikes? Strange.

4 Star Rating Definitely not a place for a couple without kids. We felt so out of place. ( got bought tickets as a Christmas gift from buy a gift so had to go) Got there just before 10am and they were letting people in already. First ride we went on broke down due to technical difficulties. Really enjoyed miniland. Thought the idea of buying a cup and filling up for free was fantastic, didn't use it as we were only there for 2 hours but definitely worth it if a few of you.

3 Star Rating I visited this place with high expectations, but I was underwhelmed by my experience. The park has many impressive exhibits featuring replica world cities, large dragons, and other animals. One of the boat rides offers a Disney-themed experience, while another allows you to steer your own boat. However, the park felt tired, with no new exhibits or updates to the older ones. It would have been nice to see different Lego exhibits, such as Star Wars or Harry Potter, offering something more mystical and interactive for all ages. Instead, there were just a few stations to build your own Lego, which, while appearing clean, were a bit grotty inside. The water park for kids was okay, but the change rooms and toilets could have been cleaned more regularly. The park is quite expensive for the average family, and even charges for parking, which felt a bit mean. Overall, I found the visit very tiring, with the attractions not being worth the effort to see and do. This sentiment was shared by the other five adults in my group.

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.
