We visited Legoland Windsor during the Covid ruled summer of 2020, but on the second week of September when all the kids were back at school. I don't want to be too harsh since these are trying times for us all, but it was a pretty disappointing trip that just wasn't worth the money. A few of the already limited amount of rides were closed and the queue times for the rides available were all upwards of half an hour. A lot of us visiting have energetic, irritable toddlers and so I saw a lot of families just leave the queue after waiting for half an hour already. Of our whole 4 hour visit, we only got to go on the Carousel / Merry Go Round. Most of it was just wasted on queuing and just sightseeing and trying to get as many photographs as possible to commemorate the day. We spent the most time in miniland.
I last visited here nearly 2 decades ago when I was a child and I remember I enjoyed myself, so I wanted to bring my child here. This was just bittersweet nostalgia though. There are hardly any rides and the attractions are really small. Shockingly I didn't find this place all that "Lego" themed either. This unfortunately just felt like a trip to a run of the mill summer Fun Fair.
The staff were all great - friendly and polite, and the bathrooms were clean. If anything it was like a long walk through a park with a few things to see along the way - but for me, it just doesn't justify the ticket price or the long journey there. Especially when you consider how much more you potentially spend on refreshments, souvenirs and other small paid for games while you are there.
