Legoland in Windsor

So we are looking at visiting Legoland in Windsor this summer. Probably after agm in July.

Any advice re experiences, accommodation, travel, the place itself - what to do and not to do!

Ive heard good things about it 

One day I shall go

i got a deal through one of the online websites and stayed at a nearby hotel with bed and breakfast and park tickets for 2 days. was a really good deal.

Allow for traffic and get there early.Through the holidays they have been known to get to full capacity and sending people away. This happened to my dad taking my niece and nephew last summer

Never been myself but a friend of mine has taken his kids a few times. He says is fantastic. Got to worth a shot. Check out reviews  on line. I've never heard a bad word about it.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'm actually looking forward to the trip myself. I have two boys so guess they will have big smiles on faces when we tell them. Hotels are proving to be expensive in the area… ah well.

its awesome dude, you'll love it! take plenty of drink and food as prices are ridic! the models and moving cars and buses in the Parts Of the World section are amazing! Im easily please, dont get me wrong but its brilliant!

Went a few years ago in the camper had great time, word of advise bring anti bac wipes as all those little sticky hands carry some nasty bugs, just ask Nadeina who was not very well after our visit. Also bring a picnic as most places are packed, get there early. Water proof poncho for some of the rides.

o well i must be the odd one out, went last year & never going back thought it was all very outdated & wasnt that impressed tbh but thats a adults point of view   but it is for kids they will have lots of fun

Hi Hugh

I just got back from legoland

This is the second time we've done it.

My kids loved it. It is pricey but we used Kellogg's cereal box vouchers to save on the tickets and bought a q-bot device (cheapest tariff) to avoid long ques.

Get there early it opens at 10am.

We stayed at the Novotel at heathrow, fantastic hotel and we tripled our tesco vouchers and that paid for the hotel.

All in all we had a lovely couple of days.

Hope that helps 

Q-bot is not cheap, when I went last year it was about £120 just to jump the ques, total rip off.
I got some free tickets so keep an eye out for offers as if you just turn up and pay on the gate it's the most expensive way, you do need to pay for your parking and pay for it when you get in as there is very long ques at the end of the day for the parking machines.

I went with my wife a 6 month old baby and a 2 year old so we only did the small kids rides so there was no real ques anyway as we went out of the school holiday's.
There is alot of walking involved as it's a big site but we all enjoyed it and will go again when the kids are bigger.
If you are after bigger faster adult rides go some where else like Alton Towers as the name suggests it's LEGO LAND (kid friendly stuff)  

Ok some good tips there. Thanks folks.  

I think our two boys will be fine. The older guy is Lego mad and the younger one will prob be more looking at stuff than participation. The q bot thingy is that just to avoid the queues? I've seen it on there site. What kinda times for queues? What the start of school holidays in July?

Looking at staying as close as possible to the park. Maybe Windsor itself.

Just looked at the wed site and I was wrong on the price, for the top one it's £75 each.. or £15 each for the lowest number of things.
Start of summer school holidays here is Somerset are Monday 20th July (some schools may take the Monday as an inset so the kids break up on Friday 17th July)
1/2 term May 22nd for a week. The school holidays do vary from regions but are are around the times I've posted.

It's well worth it. Just go for it.

Thanks for the help so far…  

Ok took the plunge today and booked it - Hotel, Legoland entry and parking. Going for three days to Legoland and treated the boys to the Q bot thingy on one day when we have it sussed. Heading on the monday 20th of July as that what best suits us. I know it coincides with holidays. Just have to book the crossing next.

Any recommendation for two nights in South Wales?
