LEGOLAND Windsor with Kids: Our Honest Family Trip Review, Woodland Village Stay, and Things to Know Before You Go

This summer we did one of those quick European trips that reminds you exactly why living in Europe can be so fun.

We flew from Valencia to London for a four-day trip in early July, right after one UK heat wave and before another one hit. Honestly, we got lucky. It was warm, sunny, and very much summer, but not unbearable in the way the UK can get when it is suddenly very hot and no one has air conditioning.

The whole trip started because we found cheap flights from Valencia to Luton. We also still have a storage unit in London, and after settling into our new apartment in Valencia, we wanted to get some of our things back: clothes, favorite UK products, mouthwash, random bits we missed, and hopefully start clearing out the storage unit.

Originally, I looked at staying in London, but for three or four nights, the prices were painful. Most hotels and Airbnbs were coming out around $1,500 minimum, and that did not include food, activities, transport, or anything else. A lot of Airbnbs also do not have air conditioning, which made me nervous during a UK summer.

We have already spent a lot of time exploring central London, so this trip felt like a good chance to do something different. Somehow I stumbled across LEGOLAND Windsor, and it immediately made sense.

It was close enough to London. It was near our storage unit in Brentford. It was easy enough from Luton and Gatwick. It gave the kids something truly for them. And because we had never done Windsor Castle before either, it felt like the perfect little UK trip that was not just “let’s go back to London and spend a fortune.”

We booked a LEGOLAND Short Breaks package for three nights at LEGOLAND Woodland Village from July 1 to July 4, 2026.

Our package included:

The total was £1,157.51.

For the UK, in summer, for three nights of family lodging, breakfast, two days of theme park tickets, parking, and adventure golf, this felt like a very solid deal. It was significantly less than staying in London would have been, and it gave the girls their own little room, tons of kid-friendly space, and an actual experience instead of just a place to sleep.

We stayed at Woodland Village because it was easy, included breakfast, gave us early ride access, and made the whole thing feel like part of the experience.

But you do not have to stay on-site to make a LEGOLAND Windsor trip work. There are hotels and stays in Windsor that can be reached by bus, which can help you avoid paying for parking or dealing with theme park driving.

A few options worth checking:

71 Alma Rd, Windsor SL4 3HD, United Kingdom

This is a practical family option in Windsor, and you can take the 703 bus directly toward LEGOLAND. This could be a good choice if you want something simple, familiar, and easy without paying on-site resort prices.

This is a more central Windsor option and could be a good fit if you want to combine LEGOLAND with Windsor Castle, restaurants, walking around town, and that classic Windsor feel.

This could be a good option if you want something that feels a little more countryside/family-stay rather than hotel-style. I would check transport carefully before booking, especially if you are trying to avoid driving.

As always, double-check bus routes and times before booking because schedules can change, especially around weekends, school holidays, and evenings.

We flew from Valencia to Luton and kept things very simple: just backpacks.

No checked bags. No big carry-ons. No chaos.

From our apartment in Valencia, we used Cabify to get to the airport. It was about €15, which felt worth it because the metro would have taken about an hour and our flight was early enough that we needed to leave the house around 7:40 AM. If we had taken the metro, we would have needed to leave before 7 AM.

Valencia airport was very easy with no checked bags. We walked through security, grabbed some yogurt, sandwiches, crisps, and water near the gate, and got ready for the flight.

One thing I swear by now: EarPlanes earplugs.

My ears usually struggle with pressure changes when flying. I put the EarPlanes in before the plane doors closed, took them out once we reached cruising altitude, and put them back in before descent. I also chewed gum. For the first time in a long time, I did not have clogged ears for hours after landing.

The flight itself was smooth. We let the girls use their iPads on flights, although Zach forgot our oldest daughter’s iPad, so I quickly downloaded two movies onto my phone and she used that while I read my Kindle.

Here is the kid’s bluetooth headphones we use and an iPad case like this to protect the tablet while being something they can carry and prop up to watch movies.

Once we landed at Luton, getting off the plane was easy. We followed the signs for car rental, but once you exit the airport, it is not immediately obvious where to go. We could see buses and taxis, but I could not figure out a clear walking route.

We made the mistake of taking a taxi.

It was £20 for a five-minute drive.

The driver even basically said he almost told us we could have taken the bus, but, you know, not great for business. So lesson learned: take the time to figure out the free or cheaper shuttle to the car rental at Luton.

Unfortunately, this was not our only expensive mistake that day.

When we got to the rental car desk, the employee asked what airport we were flying out of. I was sure — absolutely sure — that when I booked our Wizz Air flights, the only return option had been a 6 AM flight from Luton. I had such a clear memory of seeing it, telling Zach how awful it would be, and booking a nonrefundable hotel near Luton for the night before.

But when we checked the actual confirmation email, the return flight was from Gatwick at 8 AM.

Different time. Different airport.

The rental car company was able to change our drop-off location to Gatwick, but apparently the SUV we originally booked could be returned to Luton, not Gatwick. So we needed a different car. A more expensive car.

That added almost £300. To what was originally a £150 car rental…

Then came the next mistake: Zach had removed his physical credit cards from his wallet.

Even though so much of Europe is tap-to-pay now, the car rental required a physical credit card inserted into the machine. Not Apple Pay. Not tap. A physical credit card.

Because I had booked the car with Zach as the driver, the card had to be in Zach’s name. My credit card did not help unless I was added as a driver. They could not simply switch the driver because we had booked through a third party. So the only way to move forward was to pay to add me as an additional driver.

By the time it was all done, our originally cheap car rental cost us hundreds more.

So here is your reminder: if you are renting a car, bring the physical credit card in the driver’s name. Even if everywhere else lets you tap.

This was one of those travel moments where I think a lot of couples would completely crumble or start blaming each other. We were definitely annoyed. We had both made mistakes. We were both hungry. It had gotten very expensive very quickly.

But we also knew we could either let it ruin the day or keep moving.

So we kept moving.

By that point, we were all starving. The airport food from Spain was barely holding us over, and the girls had mostly eaten crisps on the plane.

We had originally hoped for a Marks & Spencer meal deal, because honestly, that is one of the things we miss most about the UK. But the nearest M&S options were not convenient from Luton, so we went with our next favorite thing: a cheeky Nando’s.

It ended up being perfect.

Funny enough, Nando’s was also our first meal the last time we came into the UK, so apparently it is becoming our accidental arrival tradition.

After lunch, we drove to our storage unit near Brentford, on the other side of Heathrow.

The drive from that area of London to LEGOLAND Windsor was honestly very smooth, even with traffic. From Brentford it was not bad at all. It should be around 30 minutes, but traffic can stretch it a bit.

The storage unit visit was emotionally more complicated than I expected.

In our heads, we had “a few suitcases” there. In reality, we had about six suitcases, random bags, pillows, blankets, winter clothes, and all kinds of things we had dropped off in a rush before flying to Amsterdam, Crete, and then Spain.

I think a part of us had hoped that the next time we came back to that storage unit, it would be to move our things into a home in the UK.

That was always the dream. Spain was the plan that opened up for us, and we are grateful to be settled in Valencia, but the UK still feels like where we ultimately want to be long term. Going back to the storage unit made that feeling very real.

We went through every bag and pulled out the things we knew we would use in Spain now. The heavier winter stuff stayed. We barely even had things to get rid of — maybe one small grocery bag. It was not that we had too much junk. We just still had a life half-packed in London.

So we accepted that we will be back again. We still have the storage unit for now. And honestly, we love any excuse to come back to London and the UK, so we are not too mad about it.

We got to LEGOLAND much later than we had hoped.

It was still bright and sunny because it was July, but the park itself had clearly closed for the day. It was a little weird driving in while everyone else was leaving, walking out with tired kids and end-of-theme-park-day energy.

To get to Woodland Village, you drive deep into the resort. You pass a lot of parking lots, park areas, and signs before you finally get there. LEGOLAND sent us an arrival guide ahead of time, but honestly, we did not really need it. We just followed the signs for Woodland Village.

There are so many parking lots around LEGOLAND. It was actually wild to see how many people must visit on a busy day.

Woodland Village uses Parking Lot C, and it puts you right out front. By the time we arrived, less than half of the lot was full, so we got a space right near the entrance, which was very helpful considering we looked like we were moving in.

Most people were arriving with weekend bags.

We arrived with three giant suitcases and a deeply chaotic storage-unit energy.

Check-in was incredibly smooth.

Ahead of time, LEGOLAND sent us a QR code. In the lobby, there are kiosks where you scan your code, choose how many keys you need, and the machine prints them out. The keys are cute little wooden-style room keys, which the kids loved.

A staff member came over while we were checking in to make sure we did not need help. She was genuinely lovely and immediately started our stay on a positive note.

She gave us a map, explained the Woodland Village layout, showed us where breakfast and food were, explained how to get to our cabin, and told us about early access to the park for hotel guests.

That is one of the biggest perks of staying on-site: early access matters.

The Woodland Village lobby immediately sets the tone. It is very kid-friendly. There is a little LEGO play area where kids can build while adults check in or wait. There is a small shop, a restaurant, toilets, and a big playground right outside.

We let the girls play at the playground as soon as we arrived. It is a proper playground, not some tiny afterthought. If it were at a normal park, I would go out of my way to take them there.

The restaurant patio overlooks the playground, and you could see parents grabbing drinks, sitting outside, and watching their kids play. It gave the whole place a very relaxed, family-camp vibe.

Walking to our cabin, there were two routes.

One path was gravel and took you through a more wooded area with a pond, little LEGO creatures, and even an overgrown meadow where I saw actual rabbits. Not LEGO rabbits. Real bunny rabbits.

The other path was paved, which is definitely the way to go if you have roller bags.

Woodland Village has different types of lodging. The lodges are set up almost like little townhouses, with two units attached in one building. We stayed in a one-level Woodland Village lodge with two sleeping areas. There are also larger two-story lodges that seem better for bigger families, and smaller pod-style accommodations that looked really cute and cozy, probably better for couples or smaller groups.

One of my favorite things was that each little neighborhood had its own playground. Kids were constantly outside playing, and it felt very safe and private, even though you were attached to a major theme park.

Our lodge was comfortable. Not luxury, not budget. Just a really solid middle ground.

It had:

The kids’ room had a curtain separating it from the adult space rather than a full door. So no, Zach and I were not watching movies loudly after bedtime, but that is not really our style anyway. We are usually on our phones or computers doing this kind of work.

The girls loved the bunk beds. Their room also had a little laser light / star projector thing that they could change the colors on, and they were obsessed.

We were there during a warm stretch, but not a brutal one. With the windows open and the fans going, the room stayed comfortable enough.

That first night, we still wanted our Marks & Spencer meal deal and had hoped to go into town to get some essentials from Boots, but by the time we were settled, everything was closing or about to close.

So instead of rushing into town and eating in the car, we ate at the on-site restaurant.

Convenient? Yes.

Worth the price? Not really.

The restaurant itself is very cute. It has a great woodland theme, little LEGO play areas for kids, and a stage where characters or performers come out to greet the kids, take pictures, or tell stories. The kids were entertained while we ordered, which is always a win.

But the food was disappointing, especially for the price.

They had a kids’ meal deal that was around £18–£18.50 and included a starter, entrée, and drink. That felt like a lot for a kids’ meal, especially since our kids are not always going to eat enough to justify that. If they have a drink, they are often less interested in food, so we usually just do water at meals.

I had planned to order ribs to share with the girls because it looked like a big plate with fries and coleslaw, but when we ordered, we were told they were out. A family who ordered minutes after us somehow received ribs, which was frustrating.

I ended up ordering a cheeseburger, and Zach ordered pizza. We also got talked into cheesy garlic bread, which sounded good but came out more like a heavy cheese pizza with caramelized onions. It was very garlicky, very oniony, and just not what any of us wanted.

The burger was okay, but as an American, I continue to be let down by cheeseburgers abroad. I do not think we have had a cheeseburger in the last ten months that tastes like what I expect a cheeseburger to taste like. The fries were Cajun/spiced chips, which I had not realized, so the girls did not really eat them.

The kids did like the burger, so ultimately, it worked. I took the extra patty from the double cheeseburger and ate that with some chips.

But for the price, I would not recommend relying on the on-site restaurant for dinner.

That night, we started a grocery delivery order so we could have snacks, water bottles, and easy food for the next day. We also saw lots of families getting Uber Eats and Domino’s delivered. That is absolutely what I would recommend.

Bring food. Order groceries. Get delivery.

Breakfast was included with our stay, and this was much better value.

When I first booked our breakfast slots, the only times left were later than ideal. At check-in, the staff member told us that if we wanted to use early access, we should really aim to get into the park around 9 AM. Our first breakfast reservation was too late for that, so she told us to speak to the hostess. They were able to move us earlier the first morning, which was perfect. The second morning, our 8:15 AM reservation worked fine.

Breakfast is in the main lodge area and only a few minutes’ walk from the cabins.

There is a drink area with juices, tea, coffee, and several kinds of tea. There is also a cold food area with yogurt, fruit, Weetabix, cereals, cheese, and multiple dairy-free milk alternatives, which was great for coffee or cereal.

For hot food, you scan a QR code and order from your phone. Since breakfast is included, it feels a little different from a normal buffet because you are ordering hot plates, but not paying extra.

They had adult and kid versions of pancakes, full English breakfast, and vegetarian English breakfast.

The food came out very quickly. Was it the best English breakfast I have ever had? No. The sausage and bacon were not amazing, and I actually think the vegetarian breakfast looked better because it came with mushrooms. But it was included, it was easy, it filled us up, and it got us into the park.

That is exactly what we needed.

This is where I wish I had done slightly more research ahead of time.

The staff member told us which rides opened early for hotel guests, but by the time morning came, we had completely forgotten the list. Everyone walking into the park seemed so determined. They clearly knew where they were going.

We were just wandering downhill into LEGOLAND, pushing a double buggy, and hoping for the best.

Based on the Daily Build sheet we received at Woodland Village, early ride time was 9:30–10:00 and included:

Woodland Village guests could access the main entrance from 9:15 with valid theme park tickets.

The park entrance takes you downhill into the main areas, and it does feel like a bit of a walk to get into the action. On the first day, there were double buggies sitting out near the entrance, so I immediately grabbed one and let the girls live their best stroller life.

We followed the flow of people and ended up at Laser Raiders.

This turned out to be one of our best accidental decisions.

Laser Raiders was easily one of our favorite rides.

Because we were there during early access, there was basically no line. The queue area is huge, so you can tell they are prepared for serious waits later in the day, but we were able to walk right in.

You sit in a little cart that moves through the ride while you use laser guns to shoot targets. The green targets are worth one score, the red targets are worth double, and your score is shown in front of you.

We loved it so much that we immediately got back in line and rode it again. Since there was no real line, they even let us skip part of the long queue walk and hop back over.

It was so fun.

The ride also takes your picture, which appears on a screen when you exit. The photo was cute, but it cost £30. I would truly love to see the analytics on that pricing, because I feel like if they charged £5, they would sell way more.

Outside Laser Raiders, there is a row of PlayStation consoles with LEGO games, which of course the kids wanted to stop and play. But it was still early, the park was filling up, and we had rides to do.

After Laser Raiders, we made our way to the Mythica area, which was very cool visually. There were mythical LEGO creatures, including a chimera and hydra-style ride.

The hydra ride looked like it had a short line, but because it only takes a few people at a time, we still waited around 20 minutes.

It is a standing ride where you spin around, control the speed with a steering wheel, and get wet. Neither of our kids was tall enough to stand alone, so they stood in front of us.

I was not mad about that.

They loved it. We got wet. It was fun.

There was also an AR unicorn experience nearby, but it was one of the more underwhelming things we did. It was not clearly explained, and I only figured it out because another guest showed me where to find the AR experience in the LEGOLAND app. Even once we got it working, it was just not that exciting.

The kids still liked looking around, but I would not prioritize it.

Food was probably the biggest disappointment of the trip.

I fully expect theme park food to be overpriced. I do not expect it to be amazing. But some of the food still felt like a lot of money for what it was.

On our first park day, we started getting hungry around 11:30. In the Mythica area, we saw a place called Hungry Troll with fried food, including fried Oreos, which I made a mental note to come back for later.

We ended up going to the pizza and pasta buffet because I saw the words “salad bar” and, after a travel day and a heavy dinner, I was desperate for vegetables.

It was over £50 for our family, and they did not charge for our youngest, which I appreciated. But it still felt like a lot.

The drinks included were watered-down juice-type drinks, with soda costing extra. The salad bar was not what I expected as an American. There was no protein, the lettuce was not in great shape, and the dressings were all thick, creamy options. No vinaigrette. My salad was basically lettuce and croutons with Thousand Island dressing.

The girls did like having carrots and cucumbers, so at least there were vegetables.

The pasta was not terrible, but it was overcooked and under-seasoned. The beef bolognese could have been good if it had more beef. The pizza was mostly mid, though one pizza with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes was actually pretty good.

But overall, for the price, I was not impressed.

My biggest LEGOLAND food advice: bring snacks, bring water, and do grocery delivery if you are staying on site.

Driving School was one of the big hits for our oldest.

Our youngest was heartbroken when she found out she was too little for the main Driving School. There were tears. Then we realized there was a smaller version next door for younger kids.

Do not make our mistake. If you have little ones, know that there is a junior option.

Our oldest did the main Driving School and did such a great job. She had never really done anything like that before, driving a little LEGO car around a track, and I was genuinely proud of her.

At the end, you can buy a LEGOLAND driver’s license. I heard from people who follow us that this used to be included for free, but now it costs £13.99. It comes with a little lanyard, and yes, it is very cute. I was prepared to pay for it, and the girls loved it.

One of the best parts of staying at Woodland Village was being able to leave the park and actually rest.

After a full morning of rides and walking around, we went back to the lodge for snacks and downtime. The girls watched a movie in their bunk beds, played with LEGO, and reset a bit.

This is one of those things I do not think I fully appreciated before having kids: staying on site is not just about convenience. It is about having somewhere to go when your kids are getting overstimulated, hot, tired, or hungry.

And honestly, when you are the adult, you need that break too.

At 5 PM on our first park day, we had booked LEGOLAND Adventure Golf, which is in another area of the resort.

Adventure Golf was genuinely fun.

There are three different courses with different themes. We did the space-themed course, and the girls had a great time. I actually wish I had booked an earlier slot or allowed more time because we did not get to finish the full course before closing.

It is a balance because doing golf earlier eats into your park time, but I do think it is worth doing if your kids like mini golf or you want something lower-key after a theme park day.

It also made me realize we should look for more mini golf places in general, because the girls loved it.

The next morning, the girls were awake at 6 AM again because they were still on Spanish time.

Not ideal.

We had breakfast at 8:15, and then headed back into the park.

The day before, when we were near Driving School, we had seen Coast Guard HQ with almost an hour-long wait. This is the boat ride where kids get to “drive” little boats around the water.

Our girls really wanted to do it, but we skipped it the first day because of the line.

On day two, we used early access to go there first. Even with early access, the wait was around 20–30 minutes.

I am glad we did it because the girls enjoyed it, but I would not wait an hour for it. It is very short and very slow. The fun is really just that the kids get to steer a boat and press a gas pedal.

After that, because we loved Laser Raiders so much, we ran back over and did it a few more times before the regular crowds came in.

Then we made our way to the splash pad.

There appear to be two water-themed areas at LEGOLAND, but only one was open during our visit. I am not sure why.

The splash area is in the DUPLO little-kid area, past Miniland. There is a shop nearby that sells things like swimsuits and towels, plus changing rooms and bathrooms.

We had brought swimsuits and water shoes. The girls already had their swimsuits on under cute little swimsuit dresses, so we just pulled those off and sent them in.

They did not want to wear the water shoes because no one else was wearing them, so we let that go and decided not to think too hard about how clean the ground was.

They had the best time.

Parents are told not to stand inside the play area because it affects capacity. There is a viewing area where you can sit and watch. Some parents had clothes they did not mind getting wet, and some had swimsuits. I had brought a swimsuit but decided I did not want to change, so I stayed in the viewing area.

They also tell people not to take photos or videos, which makes sense because it is a splash area full of children in swimsuits. Unfortunately, some people still did, and staff had to tell them off.

The girls discovered the water slides, and this was probably one of my favorite moments of the whole trip.

They had never really done anything like that before. I watched them get in line together, giggling and being silly, and I realized they probably had no idea what they were even waiting for.

Our oldest went down first, and I was so proud of her. Our youngest got to the top and decided absolutely not, then walked back down the stairs.

But once she saw her big sister come down thrilled and talking about how amazing it was, they both got back in line together and did it over and over again.

I do not even think they explored much else in the splash area after that. They just wanted the waterslide.

We bought the £16 refillable drink cup on the first day.

It is a plastic cup with a straw, and there are refill stations throughout the park. I thought the £16 meant we could use it for the whole trip.

Nope.

The next day, when I tried to use it, it said it had expired. I had to pay another £8 to reactivate it for the second day.

So yes, you can get unlimited drinks, but only for one day unless you pay again.

Also, there is a cooldown timer. At one point, Zach filled it with Powerade, drank some, then tried to refill it again to bring back to me. The machine said it was on a 10-minute cooldown.

I do not know that I would recommend it unless you are really going to use it a lot.

We definitely did not pack perfectly, but there were a few things I was very glad we had — and a few things I would recommend bringing for a LEGOLAND Windsor trip, especially if you are going in summer.

My ears struggle with pressure changes when flying, and EarPlanes plus chewing gum made this one of the easiest flights I have had. I put them in before the plane doors closed, took them out at cruising altitude, and put them back in before descent.

Recommended brand - they also sell them at Boots

LEGOLAND is a lot of walking, and the park itself has hills. Comfortable shoes matter. I would bring something like Teva sandals or another supportive shoe that can handle walking, playgrounds, splash areas, and a full theme park day.

A sunscreen roller or easy-application sunscreen is ideal for theme parks. You want something that fits easily in the bag and can be reapplied quickly without turning it into a whole dramatic event with kids.

We used our Fjällräven Skule 20, and it worked really well as a park bag. It was comfortable enough to carry around all day and had room for snacks, sunscreen, swimsuits, water bottles, and the random things kids somehow collect.

A phone lanyard is so helpful for easy photo taking. I wanted my phone accessible for pictures, videos, tickets, maps, and checking the app without constantly digging through the backpack.

Theme park days are phone battery killers. Between photos, videos, maps, tickets, food orders, and the LEGOLAND app, having a rechargeable battery is worth it. We like the Anker-style portable chargers because they are easy to throw in a bag and reliable.

There are water refill stations throughout LEGOLAND, so bring a good water bottle. An insulated bottle keeps water cold, which makes a huge difference on a warm day.

Consider one like the Stanley bottle with a carrying pouch. It is comfortable to carry, keeps water cool, and makes it easy to access throughout the day without constantly buying drinks.

Woodland Village was one of the best parts of the trip. The early access, playgrounds, easy breakfast, and ability to go back to the lodge for breaks made a huge difference.

It has a relaxed, outdoorsy, kid-friendly feel. Kids are running around, playing on neighborhood playgrounds, and it feels safe and contained.

If Woodland Village is too expensive or sold out, look at Windsor hotels and check bus access to LEGOLAND. Taking the bus could help you avoid parking and driving.

If you want to use early access, try to get an early breakfast slot. If the reservation system only gives you later times, ask at check-in. They may be able to help.

Do not do what we did and forget the ride list. Have a plan. Prioritize rides that get long waits later, like Laser Raiders or Coastguard HQ.

This was one of our favorite rides, and it gets a big queue later. Early access made it so much more enjoyable.

The kids liked driving the little boat, but the ride is short and slow. I would do it with early access, but I personally would not wait an hour for it.

Food on site was expensive and underwhelming. Breakfast was fine because it was included, but lunches and dinners were not great value for us.

We saw families getting Uber Eats and Domino’s delivered to Woodland Village. We ordered burrito bowls and quesadillas one night, and it was much better than our on-site dinner.

Even if you are not sure you will use it, pack swimsuits. The splash area was one of the girls’ favorite parts.

The £16 refillable drink cup works for one day. You have to pay again to use it another day.

If you rent a car, bring the physical credit card in the driver’s name. Not Apple Pay. Not tap-to-pay. The actual card.

With a 4-year-old and 5-year-old, two days felt perfect. We did not do everything, but we did enough that everyone felt satisfied and ready to move on.

Yes — especially for families with younger kids.

Our girls are 4 and 5, and this was a really good age for it. They are old enough to enjoy rides, remember the experience, and get excited about the details, but still young enough that the playgrounds, LEGO play areas, splash pad, and little driving rides felt magical.

It was not a cheap trip, but compared with staying in London during summer and then paying separately for food and activities, the package made a lot of sense for us.

The food was probably the weakest part, and there were definitely moments where I felt like the pricing was taking advantage of the fact that families are trapped in a theme park and need to feed their kids. But the accommodation, the early access, the playgrounds, the rides, and the overall kid-friendly setup made the trip feel worth it.

It also reminded us how much we love the UK.

We are happy to be in Valencia. We are grateful to have a home base again. But every time we come back to the UK, it still feels like the place we ultimately want to be. Even a quick trip to LEGOLAND, a storage unit, Windsor, Boots, and Marks & Spencer was enough to remind us.

And honestly, that might be the most us version of a UK trip possible.

We hope this helped if you are planning your own LEGOLAND Windsor trip with kids.
