LEGOLAND Windsor entrance ticket for families: 55+ LEGO rides, Miniland Star Wars models, and LEGO Festival May 3–8 on select dates.
“Just a great day out and have been visiting since it first opened many decades ago. £86 including parking so not cheap but if you are loaded you can pay extra and jump the queues and save waiting 50 minutes for a single ride so once again in life if you are rich you can jump ahead which I think is slightly unfair as 86 for 2 isn’t exactly cheap to start with but on par for similar parks . I will return within 12 months and will probably get the two day pass as it makes it a very busy day if attempting to squeeze everything into the 8…”
A flexible 90-day combo ticket for SEA LIFE London and DreamWorks Shrek’s Adventure, with sharks, coral tanks, and a 4D fairytale.

“It was a unique experience. Although it was not a long tour but it was interactive and engaging. Totally enjoyed the staffs who hosted us at various sections of the tour. The virtual flying bus ride was fun.”

“Arrivé en retard au parc. Départ à 16h30. Nous avons su faire 3 attractions. C’est cher pour si peut. Le guide est top. Le bus est beau.”
Coach day trip from London Victoria to LEGOLAND Windsor with about 6 park hours, entry ticket, Wi‑Fi, and onboard USB charging.
“This event was advertised as being about 9 hours long. Since it is a one hour bus ride from London to LEGOLAND, I assumed that meant we’d get 7 hours in the park. Instead, they cut our time short to drive a half hour out of the way to pick up another tour group, so we only got 6 hours in the park. That’s a large enough difference that it feels like false advertising. They said we would travel back and forth from London to LEGOLAND Windsor, not that we would go out of our way to pick up another group. I don’t feel I got what I paid for.”
Indoor LEGO Adventure Golf in Windsor: play four themed courses in about an hour for around $13 per person.
