LEGOLAND Windsor

....it's time to believe them.

This trip was booked as part of a 3 day family trip (2 adults and a 5 year old) - 1 day at Legoland, 1 day at Chessington and a day in London with 2 nights at the Holiday Inn Windsor all booked as a package through the Legoland website (L250 in total inc. breakfast in the hotel - pretty good value.

We had booked this entire trip online and had pre-printed tickets so didn't have to wait at the turnstiles to get in. No problem so far. The main problem with this place is the queuing (for everything...and I mean everything!! You queue for the rides, the drinks, the food, the shop, the toilets, the exit... everything.

Admittedly, we went at the end of the school holidays but even so, the most mundane of toddlers rides had a 1/2 hour queue (the reviews here are not exaggerated).

The food is of limited choice (L3 hotdog is about the limit) and after waiting in line for donuts only to be told that the next batch would be ready in about 20 minutes I could have exploded ( the only thing this particular place sold was drinks and donuts - how can you run out???)

The Lego village was very good and the rides (when my little girl did finally get on) were enjoyable although not exactly white knuckle.

Also on a plus side on the day we went there was a Star Wars themed fireworks display which was excellent (although feeling like a battery hen whilst watching it was a little unpleasant).

To get out did take about 20 minutes but this was no suprise as most people decided to leave after the fireworks and the place was packed anyway.

I probably wouldn't go back there as my daughter does enjoy a more thrilling ride than Legoland has to offer and the problem with the queues is a little ridiculous.

We all went to legoland Windsor for Halloween 31st Oct 2008.

Luckily we had free child vouchers otherwise I would have needed to take out a loan to pay out for the entrance fees. Dont know how you can justify charging L35 per adult and L26 per child Legoland Windsor !!

The queues were just awful and we got there early. We only got on 5 rides as on the whole we were queuing for 45 mins-1 hour per ride.

Two of our children are 5-even queuing for Diggerland took 1 HOUR !! And they got 2 MINS playtime on the mini diggers!!!

Dino Safari again queuing for 45 mins and the ride last about 1 minute. DIRE

SORT IT OUT !!

Why should we pay extra for Q-bot ???

Rip off bot more like

As for the food-take your own lunch. A sausage in a roll was L4.50 and we had to again queue for ober half and hour !

God knows how much profit they make every day ripping us off with their food prices.

Staff were miserable and sullen. Cant say I blame them standing around in the cold for the min wage.

The rides all shut at 4.30pm, despite the fact the park is advertised as being open until 6pm. Thats a bit sneaky. And you had to leave the park by a certain time otherwise you were locked in.

I kid you not...We were locked in the park and refused access to leave due to the fireworks display. We wanted to leave early as were cold and the kids were tired but the staff couldnt have cared less. We missed the time slot to leave by 5 minutes. And the excuse that the fireworks are near the car park is just stupid when planes were flying over the fireworks area.

Dont bother going to Legoland Windsor-its a RIP OFF !!
