Head for the Land of the Pharaohs with its Laser Raiders dark ride and its catapulting Scarab Bouncers ride. Then watch Bob the Builder in 4D.
 
Explore Miniland with its model cities from Europe and the USA, complete with moving parts - from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Cape Canaveral space center.
 
With older kids (above 1m in height) hop aboard the Vikings' River Splash and go for a ride through a fantasy Viking land created from Lego bricks.
 
Get wet at Pirate Falls (min. height 1m), a boat ride past animated pirates and creatures warning of danger ahead.

These are just some of the highlights. See the website for details of all rides and shows, plus height/health restrictions and age guidelines.

Where to stay

Now open is the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel, meaning you can experience all things LEGO, day through to night. A real treat for the kids with indoor play areas, splash pool, entertainment and themed bedrooms.

When

It's open roughly mid-March to early November, with times varying from 10am to 5/6/7pm. To avoid queues, try to arrive at 9.30, when the car park, pay points, shop and hilltop restaurant open. It also helps to book online tickets that you print out before you come.

How

Legoland is about 3.5km from central Windsor and easily accessible from the M25.

Eat

The park has five family restaurants and several 'Quick Service outlets', among them the well-reputed Baguette Bar. There are also a few pleasant picnic areas.

Cost

Tickets alone are expensive - £44 adults, £35 ages 3–15, under 3's go free; discounts available by booking online and short break packages are available. Parking charges also apply.
