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![]()
This cost the same price as the other two theme parks near London, but this is a totally different type of experience. If you want the ultimate thrills then this is not the place for you. This is a place for gentle rides that those that are terrified of roller coasters and excessive thrills can enjoy. In other words this is the place for my wife. It was good to be able to go to a theme park she could actually participate in.
Most of the rides are extremely gentle with only one or two very mildy thrilling rides. If you want to have an easy day then this is enjoyable.
The mini-world area with small models of different landmarks across the world (Big Ben, St. Paul's, Statue of Liberty, etc) is a nice attraction.
Another advantage of Legoland is the queues are not as bad as what you got at the other two theme parks in this area. Didn't get me wrong, you will certainly queue. But the queues are a fraction of what you get elsewhere. We went during the busy Easter holiday period and still had time to get on all the main rides. I have been to another theme park where we basically spent the entire day in queues and only got to do about three rides.
Good experience but certainly not my preference as I prefer thrilling rides. But glad to have my wife be able to join myself and the kids on the rides, which generally doesn't happen at theme parks with more thrilling rides.

Visited LEGOLAND Windsor as two adults with no kids and had an absolutely fantastic day. We weren't sure if it would be geared entirely towards families, but there was plenty for us to enjoy. The park was clean, well-maintained, and full of impressive LEGO builds that are worth seeing in their own right.
The rides were fun, the staff were friendly, and there was a great atmosphere throughout the day. Miniland was particularly impressive, with an incredible level of detail. Queue times were reasonable and there was enough variety to keep us entertained from opening until closing.
If you're an adult LEGO fan, or just looking for a fun day out, don't let the fact you don't have children put you off. We had an amazing time and would happily visit again.

Went to LEGOLAND Windsor Resort yesterday and honestly had a really fun day.
Miniland was probably my favourite part. The amount of detail in the LEGO cities is crazy , you can stand there for ages and still keep noticing new little things. Whoever built those models clearly has a lot more patience than I do with LEGO.
The park itself has a great atmosphere and you can tell it’s designed to be exciting for families and LEGO fans. The staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful which always makes a big difference.
A couple of small things I thought I’d mention for the management (in a positive way because overall the day was great):
The queues for some rides were pretty long, which I guess is expected at a popular park, but it did mean quite a bit of waiting. More seating areas around the park would also be really helpful when it’s busy. The food was decent but the prices felt a bit high for what you get.
That said, it didn’t ruin the day at all. I still had a great time and it’s a really unique place to visit. It’s obvious a lot of work goes into making the park fun and creative.
Overall a really enjoyable day out and I’ll definitely be back at some point. Just next time I might bring extra patience for the queues 😄.

Great day. Lovely weather. Too marks for the sun screen dispensers. Only downside was it was 30 degrees and not all the water fountains were working. Otherwise it was an ace day! Make sure your little one is over 0.9 meters tall otherwise they can’t go on anything.

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.
