Last Wednesday I took the day off from work (only two days after coming back from a week’s holiday!) and we took the kids to Legoland Windsor. Now normally this is a fairly expensive — adult tickets are £33 a pop — but Louise got discount tickets through her toddler group. Well, I say “got”. She organised the whole bulk buy thing. But anyway…
I’m not sure what I was expecting but I was really impressed! The place is big — we didn’t even get across the whole site in a day, although we weren’t exactly marching. We got there at 10am, opening time and I didn’t even look at my watch until after 3pm. We stayed until closing at 5pm and we were busy the whole time.
It’s really well set up for young children, although a majority of the attractions have a 0.9m minimum height. It turns out that Jessica is about 0.905m tall, so we had a very hit-and-miss time depending on how slouchy she was feeling at any given moment. So, measure your kids before you go.
One final thing to note for the cost concious: There’s basically no competition in the food that’s sold so it’s not cheap. However, there are plenty of places you can have a picnic, which is what we did, so you can save (more than) a few pennies that way.
