Legoland

[Motoring Widow]

I am off to Legoland tomorrow with my 3 year old daughter and her Pre-School and I wondered how many of the rides I will be able to take her on. Also how many hours can be easily filled around the park before the little one will get bored?

Quite a few of the more gentle rides you should be ok. My 4 year old loved the mini roller coaster which was a hoot. The whole place seems to be geared for 3 - 8 year olds.

Re how long it takes them to get bored!! My 6 year old and twin 4 year old boys could live there and never get bored..

Have fun

Thanks for that, sounds like a good day out.

It's a bit embarassing to go if you haven't got any kids. I imagine. Um, from what I've heard.

Great place though - hope you have a good time there.

tuna is correct, I was there for the press launch of StarWars LEGO (PS2game) and we (all 30 odd of us, 25yrs +) quickly realised there wasn't going to be much to do all day before the soiree kicked off. I felt quite out of place walking round with no kids in tow. Not that I do that anyway, you understand....

Or... if you have a teenager - take them along & watch them sulk for England.

Teen baiting - top entertainment!

Yep, lots for little 'uns to do.

We've been 7 times this year so far and Plottot, who is all of 22 months, cant get enough of the place.

Mind you it doesnt help that she can see it from her bedroom window...

Went on Saturday with BabyV6 (16 months).

She's too little for almost all of the rides (they even got the measuring stick out to check!) but had a great time anyway. Highlight for her was the rubberised playground next to the water park in Duploland!

Top place. We'll definately be going again. Shame that I've heard from several independent sources that its going to be closed down or at best sold off sometime soon.


Whilst on the subject, I noted with interest that the road system in the Lego Driving School includes a model GATSO. Brainwashing for the nippers, or simply an accurate representation of Britain's roads today?

[Plotloss]

Really?

I must start a campaign to bring a much needed racetrack to Windsor.

Now we've got the space and all...

Bit hilly, though... very long Quad/Pilot track maybe?

I think Lego is selling it's parks to be run by independant companies, so it can concentrate on it's core business. IIRC They claim that the parks are to continue to run as they are.

Had a quick look on the website as well loads more there than I realised. Should be a good day out and little lady should be suitably impressed. i will report back on how we get on.
