 LEGOLAND
Windsor
LEGOLAND Windsor is one of the most popular days out for families
in the UK. Here, babyworld members share their tips to make your trip
as fun and stress-free as possible!
Child-friendly services
For a theme park, Legoland is very, very kid friendly.
There are lots of toilets everywhere, each with a baby seat attached
to the wall so that mums (and dads too I am informed) can safely have
baby in the seat whilst they use the loo. There are also changing rooms
dotted everywhere too.
At the points where you have to queue for a ride, they had huge areas
fenced in that were full of Lego on tables. You could safely leave your
child playing in them, in full view, under cover, whilst the poor suffering
adults queued up! This was fantastic on hot days, when kids could get
very unhappy waiting.
On the whole, the park caters for all ages, and the water park area is
amazing!
Bring plenty of drinks
The only gripe I have with the park is to do with the vendors. At the
burger places etc, you could buy a kid's meal with a drink but adult meals
were at least £5 and then you had to pay an extra £1.50 for a drink. So,
make sure you bring plenty of drinks - although there are water fountains
everywhere with the toilets if you want.
Legoland gets my thumbs up as a good place to go! It is reasonably priced
too. We will definitely go back again.

Travel clockwise around the park
Legoland is best for kids under 10. Miniland is amazing! There are two
driving schools for different ages, which my kids loved.
TIPS
- Avoid the hill train when you first enter the park (very slow - you'll
get there a lot quicker by walking).
- Take lots of film for your camera (there are many photo opportunities).
- Travel anticlockwise round the park (it means walking a bit to get
to your starting point in Knights' Kingdom, but you really will avoid
the crowds.

The most special-needs-friendly day out!
Just one comment about Legoland - it's probably the most special-needs-friendly
day out we've ever had!
The staff are wonderful, and very accommodating to special needs families.
It's not just the child with difficulties that gets five-star treatment
- the whole (stressed out) family do! They provide a free carer's pass
for one adult, bringing down the cost of having to take along an adult
solely to help one particular child, and have really planned well to make
everything accessible for a range of needs.
As a pregnant woman taking two under 6s for day trips, it's right up
at the top of our list. There's something for everyone, and the kids never
tire of it!
Oh, and my husband always manages to get himself a new toy too...
