Review of LEGOLAND Windsor admission: rides, LEGO displays, queue advice, food costs, ticket value, and tips for planning a family day.
“1 day is not enough time. Prices are better than other big name parks. If your kid loves STEM, future doctor, IT etc.. then they will love it here. Friends told me to take my kid. Should have brought him sooner! If your kid is neurodivergent like ours then you will appreciate the sensory zones, video game areas, indoor ac areas where they can build legos & unwind while everyone takes a break. Better AC than Disney Paris. The lego store on site had reasonable prices! Was disappointed could not find shirts that say Legoland Windsor/UK. We have Legoland in USA so wanted something to show how far we visited.”

Review of the London day trip to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswolds, and Oxford, with timing, value, and practical tips.
“It was a very nice experience, but we felt very rushed. We definitely could have used another 30 minutes to an hour to explore both Warwick castle and Stratford upon Avon. They gave an hour and an half for each location, but by the time everyone got off the bus and through security for the locations etc., at least 15-20 minutes was gone, and then we had to meet back up at the bus at least 5-10 minutes before the leave time, which means we actually only had about an hour at each location. We also would have loved to have time to see some of the events at Warwick…”

She was extremely knowledgable, funny in many ways, kept our attention the entire day and was amazing on trivial and historical tidbits. Rowan’s delivery and facial expression coupled with her vocal inflections was superb beyond superb!! Carrie French Thompson from GA - USA. (The three older ladies).
