Day Trip: Legoland

LEGOLAND Windsor is a theme park designed especially for two to 12-year-olds. Even grown-ups can have fun too, of course: but the prime age is from two to ten; kids that age will love everything about the place.

LEGOLAND has rides, including (appropriately tame) coaster and waterslide; mazes; live shows; fun zones such as water-squirters; driving school; and Lego creations all around the park, including fabulous collections in Miniland. There, 35M pieces of Lego recreate scenes from Europe: windmills, castles, famous buildings, little moving trains...

To reach the theme park, visitors take a train to Windsor and then a shuttle bus. Also at Windsor is Windsor Castle --an official residence of Her Majesty-- and Eton College. Allow an entire day to visit LEGOLAND, plus time to stroll around Windsor afterwards.

Note that Legoland is closed in winter months.
