LEGOLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Lego
Disadvantages: can be an expensive day out

...football matches due to be played over the following days, moving pieces for cars, trucks and changing of the guards at Lego Buckingham Palace. It never stops amazing me the things that can be built out of Lego. According to the website some 40 million pieces have been used to show scenes from the US and Europe (including Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Paris and London). If you think this bit is cool then remember to go to the little museum (Lego creation centre) near the entrance which shows you work room and other cool things made out of Lego. Sky Rider Before you go check out the sites of Legoland from the Sky Rider. We didn't do it this time as the queue was stupidly long but last time it was good. My other half hated it as it feels like you're over a huge drop at one point but you can get some great photos of the park! Ride Rules: * Must be...

LONDON'S CALLING

Advantages: Pleasent stay, good food, central location
Disadvantages: Views from room

...eateries/drinking places and chose 372, which offers carvery selection. I was surprise how hot and fresh the food was. Not only that it was tasty too! We opted for lamb with roast potatoes, new potatoes and three vegetables. However, my only complaint about the meal was the vegetables; they were a tad on the raw side for my liking. That said I ALWAYS OVER cook my veggies. Dessert was for me home made apple pie and cream, while the other half opted for home made cheesecake ? both were consumed without any complaints and very much enjoyed. Our meal for two with drinks cost £29) Hotel: the hotel it situated in the Strand which is in central London and easy to walk to theatres such as the Aldwych, Lyceum, and many more. Come out the front of the hotel and turn right, and you?ll be heading towards Trafalgar square with Nelson, bear left and you...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

LEGOLAND Windsor

Advantages: The model village was good.
Disadvantages: Long Long Long Queues.

...We decided to take our three children (4, 2, & 7months) for a day out to Legoland. Not having any experience on what it was going to be like this is what we found. Arrived just before 11am, queued for ages, but by using a compination of Airmiles and Nectar points, we were able to get in without paying a penny (saved around £60). When we got inside there were people selling drink bottles, it was not until later in the day I found out that buy one of these and get free refills all day long, so later I paid the £5.00 for one of these bottles, and filled it up six or seven times - bargin? We made the first mistake of the day, not knowing the park, and took the right hand path which took us down to the main park, if we had known we would of taken the left hand path which would of taken us past the model village and straight to Duplo...

Legoland Lemon

Advantages: Keeps The Kids Entertained, Miniland
Disadvantages: Cost, Cost, Little for Adults To Do, Cost, Queues, Staff Attitude

...Ever since I was a child I've always wanted to visit Legland in Denmark. I'd heard it was an amazing place with rides and Lego constructions of a size and detail you wouldn't believe. So when the British version, Legoland Windsor, opened some years back now I made a mental note that it would be a great place to go and then promptly forgot about it. This year, however, my wife made arrangements to meet with an old friend she'd not seen for almost eight years and the chosen venue was Legoland Windsor. That friend would take her kids along, we'd take ours, the children could play we could catch up with each other and a good day could be had by all. So when September 1st rolled around I was, for once, more excited about the venue than the kids and raced them down the path to the car. Getting to Legoland isn't that difficult...

Legoland Windsor...Quick Day Trip Guide

Advantages: Lots to See and Do
Disadvantages: Expensive, Queues and short ride times

...Firsty I am going to keep the review to the main points. This is just my opinion and we will all make our own minds up. Trip early July 09 Legoland Windsor. Cost: Cons: Well lets be honest its not cheap: 1 Day Adult Ticket (16-59 yrs) £33.30 1 Day Child Ticket (3-15 yrs) £25.20 1 Day Senior Ticket (60+ yrs) £25.20 So for a typical family of 4 its over £100. Pros: The upside is that they must know its expensive because you can find find reductions in the ticket price all over the place. we go ours from a box of Walkers Crisps. The average reduction reduces the price of each ticket by 50%, better but still expensive. *Top tip: Look for discount vouchers, also available on Legoland web site* Travel and Parking: Pros: Its easily found with good signage. Cons: Congestion the nearer you...

Review of Legoland Windsor

A Legoland you can have on your PC...

Advantages: Quite fun, simple interface, lots of rides to build...
Disadvantages: ... antiquated graphics and sound, little challenge for adults...

...Legoland is basically Theme Park but with LEGO characters, and is presented in a simple way that makes it a good game for younger ones, though it makes it less interesting for adults. In an attempt to make things more interesting you also have a dotty professor who time travels and generally wreaks mayhem (grabbing new rides and ideas at the same time), and aliens who love theme parks and subsequently visit earth, usually taking most of your rides with them. I've never been a huge fan of the theme park and spin-off games like Roller Coaster Tycoon style myself - though they are quite fun for a while, I tend to quickly get bored of them. If you are a fan of the genre, you will probably like this game more than I did - although you will also probably want more depth than this game, as it is after all aimed mainly at children. Still...

Legwork at Legoland

Advantages: QUITE A LOT FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN
Disadvantages: QUITE EXPENSIVE,AND FAIRLY SPREAD OUT

...In the grounds of the former Windsor safari park and high up overlooking breathtaking Views of Windsor and even London on a bright day..stands LEGOLAND... Open from end of March until End of October As you approach LEGOLAND Which is easily accesible from either the M4 or the M3 you steadily climb and curve your way to the entrance..Lots of LEGO characters greet you as your arrive... There appears to be about 4 carparks and at least 2 of them are very close to the entrance,there is also a fee paying carpark(£5) which seems to be even closer,but on close inspection its not much difference at all! There is also special carpark for disabled badge holders which is very near the entrance to legoland.. As you walk from your car to the entrance there are about 10 booths,which is where you pay and have never been that busy when I have...

Advantages: Many different attractions which include unique sculptures made from LEGO

Review of Legoland Windsor

Legoland - Advice for families.

Advantages: Variety of attractions.
Disadvantages: Near an Airport.

...I have recently gone to Legoland with my family. I think it is best if you stay overnight so you can stay in one of the many hotels such as the local Hilton and the Marriot. You basically need to stay the night before so you can make a full day out of it. There is many buses that go to Legoland, they normally have got a picture of Legoland on the side. You can also take your car as there is several signs posting the direction to go. I advise you not to walk as there isn't a main walking path and is in the middle of a small wood and a main road. The theme park is mainly aimed at children aimed 4 - 12. Most of the rides are aimed at children but some can be enjoyable for adults such as the jungle coaster, longboat invader (new for 2008!) and the dragon coaster. There is also a live action show which can be very enjoyable and a 4...

Review of Legoland Windsor

Legoland - The Cash Cow

Advantages: Nice Model Village, Some good rides for kids
Disadvantages: Expensive, outrageous food and drink prices, big queues, no in queue entertainment, dirty in places

...I have to say I have been to Legoland on a number of occasions now to give the place a fair review based on numerous visits, but so far I have to say I am a very disappointed person. I think that Legoland is extremely overpriced (considering we are 2 parents and 1 child) but still have to pay £32 per adult entrance even though there is no chance in hell that we both get to use them all. As a family of 3 with entrance, food and drink throughout the day (we deliberately did not take a picnic this time) and the necessary memento (a driving licence, a photo from a ride) you are looking at a combined spend of £120 for the day. I will say that we have been fair in our approach visiting at different times of the year (twice in 2007) just to see whether our experiences have been a one off. No, they haven't. Don't get me wrong some things...
