5 tips for visiting Legoland Windsor with kids
1. Duplo Days
On weekdays from 6 September to 31 October Legoland Windsor is celebrating Duplo Days, and families visiting with young children can book entry tickets online for only £25 for adults (£55.40 at the gate) and £5 for children aged 3-5 (£51.20 at the gate). Under 3s go free to Legoland. This offer means I can take Baby Boy and Big Girl to Legoland for only £30 instead of £106.60.
2. Fast track
There is a fast track queuing system called Q-Bot, and this started from £20 per person when I visited. I didn’t use it though as I wasn’t sure how much benefit it would be for us since I was alone with two kids and we could only do rides without a minimum height restriction. It would, however, have been fantastic to use Q-Bot for Balloon School and Coastguard HQ, for example, and I think it could be worth it next time if we go on a busy day and Baby Boy is above 90cm. I also want to try Q-Bot Mobile, as this would allow us to pay for reserving a space in line on the specific rides we wanted to go on.
3. Getting around
Legoland Windsor is a large amusement park, and I was glad to have the buggy for one-year-old Baby Boy although he walked most of the time. There are also double and single scooterbugs to rent, which could be practical for families with two young children and no twin buggy, for example. To go from the entrance gate to Duplo Valley, kids can use slides next to the pathways instead of walking, which makes for a fun start to the day for little ones. The free Legoland app is also useful for navigating around the park, and I used it for finding rides and reading about restrictions both before going and during our visit.
4. Swimwear and towels
When visiting on a warm day, don’t forget swimwear and towels (and a £1 coin for the locker). The water play area in Duplo Valley is super cool–colourful and fun for all ages.
5. Parking
Legoland offers priority parking, which was £10 online when I visited and £12 on the day, or standard parking for £5. Priority parking is by the entrance gate, but standard parking starts a stone throw away, and for those who arrive early it looked like the difference was minimal. To save time when exiting, it makes sense to pay for parking when purchasing tickets.
