Legoland Windsor: Review and top 20 attractions to do in family with children - Report by Ben Heine

Hello! Here is my opinion of the Legoland Windsor theme park near London. I show you the attractions that I have preferred and which are the best ones for families. It is a nice park globally but the main downside is the waiting time in the queues so you have to plan more than 1 day to visit it! As usual, I filmed and edited all the footages in this video, please give a little like and subscribe to my page for more similar content. More info about the park below.

Legoland Windsor is a child-orientated theme park and resort in Windsor, Berkshire in England, themed around the Lego toy system.

The park opened on 17 March 1996 on the former Windsor Safari Park site as the second Legoland after Legoland Billund in Denmark. In common with the other Legolands across the world, the park's attractions consist of a mixture of Lego-themed rides, models, and building workshops. The park was acquired by Merlin Entertainments in 2005, which now operates the park, with the Lego Group retaining part ownership (30%). The facilities are mainly targeted at children between three and twelve.

The park had 2.2 million visitors in 2017, making it the second most visited theme park in the United Kingdom and the 10th-most visited in Europe. It is made with 80 million lego bricks.

The park is split into 11 themed lands, incorporating 55 attractions, restaurants and shops: The Beginning, Imagination Centre, Duplo Valley, Miniland, Adventure Land, LEGO City, Pirate Shores, Heartlake City, Knight´s Kingdom, Land of the Vikings, Kingdom of the Pharaohs and Lego Ninjago World.

The Beginning:
The Beginning is the entrance to the park and is accessible before park opening. Also in the area is the Hill Train, a funicular, 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway down a curved slope, using previously abandoned vehicles from Brazil.

Imagination Centre:
The Imagination Centre is just above Miniland. It features educational attractions: LEGO Reef, Lego Mindstorms NXT-based Lego Mindstorms Workshop and Robolab Workshop.

Miniland:
Miniland is a miniature park in Lego form, depicting towns and cities from around the world, using nearly 40 million Lego bricks in models often at 1/20 scale. The area features a number of animated models, interacting with each other.
