Lego Land Windsor

What can I say, I went here on a school trip with my daughter, we travelled via coach which took around 1 ½ hours to get there. My personally opinion this is too long for children to be on a coach, especially 5/6 year olds. But this was more to do with the school, and not the place. Also this hinders you as you do not have as much time to explore the park.

Now the park itself has plenty of Attractions from towns and building built entirely form LEGO, to rides.
The most amazing thing about the park is the Lego and what can be achieved with time effort and plenty of money. Throughout the Park are man made sculptures made form LEGO, including a girl and boy which are situated outside the toilets. These were a great idea as the children new exactly which toilet to go to. So keep your eyes open as you explore the Park for the amazing and quite intriguing sculptures.

There are numerous activities for a wide range of ages throughout the park, these are all special designed to entertain and teach children using enjoyable techniques.

The Imagination Centre
Build and Test this is a key example of the techniques used to encourage children to use their imaginations. Here they can build and construct cars, towers and other objects onto a specially designed earthquake table. Once built they are able to see if their construction will with hold an earthquake. This enables the children to understand the importance of a solid object. Also the Cars can be raced on the tracks which are already built. The children enjoyed doing this a lot. Another great area is the Educational Workshops Children are introduced to the concept of computer control and get to build their own robot from LEGO bricks.

MiniLand
This is the area which is without a doubt the most amazing just because of the sheer work that has gone into creating it. Miniland contains some 35 million pieces of LEGO to recreate scenes from Europe, including London, Paris and Amsterdam.

Last year they introduced, a LEGO version of Cape Canaveral featuring the John F. Kennedy Space Centre, perfect for any Space fans.

Traffic
Now this was one of the funniest places to watch, the children queue up for a driving school where they drive around in L built cars. They 1st have to watch a short video on how to control the cars and also the rules of the road including Traffic Lights, Roundabouts and basic driving standards. Once they get into there cars they drive around the purpose built area. It consists of turns, roundabouts, traffic lights, giveaway sections and many other road marking. This is quiet funny as the children mainly spend their time in barriers (as they crash), at the traffic lights as they are not sure when to go or just going round and round the roundabouts. When they do finish a horn goes to let the children no that they are safe to get out of their vehicles, as they leave they are issued with a driving license (a small Card) to say that they have passed the Lego Driving School. This is one for the children and the parents, so please give it a go.

Other areas in the Park are:
DUPLO Land
LEGO City
Wild Woods
Knight's Kingdom
Adventure Land

Now there are many rides here and just like many theme parks there are restrictions to some of the rides, so don't forget to check. These rides and integrated with in the areas above.

There is entertainment throughout the season in our show venues. Which are Imagination Centre, DUPLO Land and LEGO City. For daily show times, pick up a programme on arrival at the park.
