Legoland Windsor

[Horness]

My youngest has decided rather than a party for his 5th birthday, he wants us all to go to Legoland Windsor (and they say advertising doesn't pay!).

Anyone who has been - will we get away with 1 day, or should I think about booking a 2 day pass and finding a B&B down there?

Also - whats it like?  

Cheers

Its a great day out, the kids will love it. The only bad thing is the food is dear, as all those type of places are, and if its bad weather most of it is out doors.
If you close enough and you think you would go more than once, it may be cost effective to buy an annual pass. Its about over £100 for the day.
It cost £170 for the three of use for the years pass.

We only managed to get round 3 quarters of it in a full day.

Either way you should have a great day :D

Tesco are doing day out voucher thingys which i beleive includes lego land which would make it a bit cheaper...

had a great day when we went and got totally soaked


Edit: they have been building some new rides there recently but i dont know how complete they are...

We used to live down the road from it and finaly went about 3 weeks before we left.

Excellent fun, you could do it in a day but you'll be rushing around.

If it's going to be a nice day, take some towels and some swimming trunks for your lad, there is/was an excellent water play area.

Should also be a chance for your son to get his first driving licence.

Sounds great fun - thanks for the replies.  

On the web site they are doing a 2 day pass with B&B, for 2 adults and 2 kids, staying at the Holiday-Inn over night is £195.  My only worry is the weather.
It's not until August - but you can never tell what it's going to be.  :roll:

Thats the way we did it
Travelled down the night before after booking a Holiday inn family deal, got upearly got there 15 mins before it opened, straight in to the driving licence course thing as it gets packed, very good day out,but take your own food.
One of the locals advised us to leave by 4pm as the traffic can be bad.
Drove back and stopped at Birmingham, then went to Black country living meuseum, wasnt impressed, Blist hill in Telford was twice as good and bigger, cheaper etc.

Horness you beat me to it and you have obvoiusly done your homework (good boy go to the back of the class) :lol: ,sorry. I was going to suggest Holiday Inn as i used one of there offers and travelled down from Derbyshire AND had a day at L/L stayed in the Inn early morning swim in thier pool,breakfast and then day two at L/L. FANTASTIC. The one we stayed at was near to Heathrow.
