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

Advantages: Lego
Disadvantages: can be an expensive day out

...get a bottled drink! They had one of those nectar traps that wasps fly into and get stuck but there were so many everywhere that there was no way of managing the situation any better. Vegetarian? Not a problem as there are a number of veggie choices at every stop. Not so much veggie at the stalls but in the restaurants you'll find some options. Also I was rather interested to find they had Annabel Karmel kids menus. Ever since my midwife ripped into Mrs Karmel saying she didn't know what she was talking about I've taken all advice from her books with a pinch of salt but I do think she's good with food ideas and love The Complete Meal Planner book (see older reviews). My little man had seen people walking around with Legoland bottles that can hang off your shoulder and had big straws ... Of course he then had to have one so we went up to...

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

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 - 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...

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...

  Harvester Restaurants

Advantages: Always one close by, quick turn out, children are welcome and catered for.
Disadvantages: Toilets can be quite disturbing, not all dishes taste as good they are described.

...Harvester Restaurants Restaurant Reviewed: Stag and Hounds Winchester Road Basingstoke Hampshire (next to Comet and Home Base) The Harvester chain of Restaurants have over 2000 outlets across the United Kingdom and owned and operated by Mitchells and Butlers, who claim to be the UK's leading operator of managed pubs, bars and restaurants. Harvester claim to offer healthy eating, drinking and entertainment in one reasonably priced outlet. **** Parking and Getting a Table ***** As with most of the Harvester's I have visited, there is usually ample free parking at the rear of the establishment. However on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch times these places are heaving with customers, so avoid the crowds, go early and if possible ring and reserve a table. The Stag and Hounds is no exception but fortunately...

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...

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...
