For those of you who might not have heard about Lego Land, it's a large theme park built around the famous Lego bricks.
As I have frequented this theme park for most of the school summer holidays and the odd weekend , I decided to write a review on this very enjoyable day out. .

In the press last year , it was stated that Lego Land in Europe was closing down. This isn't the case for Windsor. Though the website is very vague, I decided to go one better and ask a member of staff what is going on just before the close of last season.

I was told that Windsor will continue to re-open for many seasons and have actually been bought out by the company that own Madame Tussauds. It's a popular attraction that brings in thousands so I couldn't understand why they would close this one down, contrary to what the press stated. This is obviousley a relief for us Annual Pass Holders with children who never want to leave the site!

This is going to be quite a long review. I want to go into as much detail as possible to help you decide on whether it is worth visit or not. I do feel it is expensive for just a days outing but with the pass, its more value for your money.

Where is it?
Lego land is very easy to find, it is well sign posted as soon you hit (not literally I hope) the M4 towards Slough. Just follow the big brown tourist signs. In the other direction its close to the M3. If you use multi map then that will give you postcode to postcode directions. www.multimap.co.uk. There are easy transport links and a park and ride from Windsor Town centre.

What are the parking facilities like?
There is a huge car park and unlike a lot of theme parks, they don't cram you in like sardines. If you buy the annual pass you are entitled to privilege parking. This means you can have a slot near the front if you get there by 12.30 pm. You pay an extra 2 but that's worth it as in the summer its horrendous to get in and out .

Even if you end up in the over flow, its not a marathon to the turnstiles and there are pavements leading you up to the front. Its very well lit at night but please remember what car park you are situated in. They range from A to D and then the over flows.
There are also disabled parking bays available close to the priveledge parking bays.
