Imagine a land that´s dedicated to children. A land that inspires adventure, excitement and fun, where the entertainment is hands-on and children are in control. This is LEGOLAND Windsor - a different sort of family theme Park.
Our mission: To give children and their families a real life experience of the LEGO core values - creativity, fun, development, play and learning - in a unique environment where the child is the hero.
LEGOLAND Windsor is the ultimate clubhouse for LEGO fans! We have thrills of a different kind and rides on a different scale. Learn to drive a car and earn your own license; pan for gold; brave The Pirate Falls; star in a show; or unravel the mystery in the Explorer´s institute. With over 40 rides, shows and attractions, and set in 150 acres of beautiful parkland, LEGOLAND Windsor offers a full and exiting day out, for children aged two to twelve and their families.
The Imagination Centre
As its name suggests, the Imagination Centre provides the tools and stimulus for creative play. In the workshops children can design buildings to test on earthquake tables, engineer cars to beat all contenders on a car speed test ramp, or control LEGO Models through computers. Children can learn through play in these workshops and in the LEGO® DACTA® Pavilions, which are reserved for school parties during termtime. Here a series of hands on education programmes, related to the national curriculum key stages one to three, are offered.There are two rides in this area, the Sky Rider, a pedal powered ride that circumnavigates the centre, and the Space Tower, where children pull themselves up to the top of a tower to inspect the UFO hovering overhead, before "abseiling" to the bottom. Beside this a masive new animated LEGO TECHNIC dinosaur will be added.
Miniland
Miniland contains detailed scenes from around Europe including scenes from London, Amsterdam, Paris and Edinburgh, all bustling with traffic, trains, boats and humour. There are some 800 model buildings and another 700 models of trains, cars, ships, cranes, bridges, fountains and people. One hundred model designers worked for two and a half years and used some 25 million bricks to create Miniland.The DUPLO® Gardens
Here, in keeping with the DUPLO brand, are delights for the younger members of the family. But older children and parents will also find much to amuse and attract them. There's a DUPLO Train, a Helicopter ride, puppet theatre, Fairy Tale Brook Boat Ride (full of wit and surprises) and perhaps best of all, is an area called The Waterworks. Here the children will take charge, making water flow uphill and fountains squirt, play tunes, power models, gurgle and swirl.
LEGO® Traffic
Next to the DUPLO Gardens is one of the greatest attractions for older children - electric cars they drive themselves. Children have to negotiate traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and roundabouts to earn their very own LEGOLAND Driver´s Licence, and as this is England, many people have the added challenge of learning to drive on the left hand side of the road! Or they can go sailing in the Boat Driving School, where powered boats have to be steered between buoys, through boiling rapids, avoiding the rest of the fleet.My Town
Here the LEGO Town play theme comes to life. The buildings are grouped around a harbour, complete with lighthouse, which forms the centrepiece for a spectacular live action stunt show. Inside the main building are walk-through experiences designed to amaze all ages: shiver in ice caves; swelter in tropical jungles; explore the backstage secrets of the Magic TheatreBrickadilly´s® Circus and Fairground
In My Town, the circus is always in town. But this is LEGOLAND Windsor, so children don't just watch the clown show, they are the show.The Wild Woods
In the most heavily wooded area of the site "There are Pirates lurking." Here you can pan for gold, follow a treasure trail through The Rat Trap - a fearsome labyrinth of tree top walkways, scramble nets and chutes (beware of the dreaded Death Drop) - or ride the Pirate Falls, a flume ride where all sorts of surprising things happen along the way - some witty, some silly and some just a bit scary.Restaurants
The Swiss international hotel and catering group Mövenpick has been appointed as sole catering consultant to operate six different outlets in LEGOLAND Windsor including the 'Crossed Ribs' Pirates Restaurant in the Wild Woods, the 'Pasta Patch' in the DUPLO Gardens and 'Marché' in My Town, the largest restaurant in the Park. Visitors select their food from a range of fresh produce which is prepared and cooked in front of them.Live Shows
The fun starts with the Welcome Show whose antics begin at The Beginning. There´s The Brickbuilders Fun-House Jam in the Imagination Theatre, which is a colourfull and involving live music and dance show. You´ll find the Fairytales, Fables and Fun puppet show in the DUPLO Gardens, telling some famniliar stories with a twist of humour. My Town Harbour is the launch pad for Time-Travel Adventures, a spectacular high-drive stunt show incorporating acrobatic skills and traditional pantomime. Then there´s the Brickadilly´s Circus, where children star in the show, learning clowning skills and the intrepid can brave the High Wire Bike.Special Events
