About each park

Legoland Windsor

LEGOLAND Windsor is a family theme park built on the former site of the Windsor Safari Park, 30 minutes west of London. The park is aimed squarely at families with children aged 2-12, with highlights including the Haunted House Monster Party drop tower, the Dragon coaster through LEGOLAND Castle, the MINILAND models, and a full LEGO-themed water playground.

School holidays and weekends get extremely busy - Windsor is a long-standing family day-trip destination for London. Check live wait times before heading to the busiest attractions, and use the crowd calendar to pick a quieter midweek day if possible. The park is quite compact, so queues on popular rides can stretch quickly once the gates open.

Pleasurewood Hills

Pleasurewood Hills is a family theme park in Lowestoft, Suffolk, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. It's a small but well-regarded regional park with a mix of family and thrill rides: Wipeout boomerang coaster, Marble Madness indoor spinning coaster, Rage double-launch coaster, and a large Pirate Ship swing ride. The park sits on 50 acres of mixed woodland and open field.

Pleasurewood Hills' season runs roughly Easter to late October, with school holidays and UK summer weekends driving peak crowds. Weekdays in May, June and September are usually very relaxed. Check live queue times for Rage and Wipeout on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a quieter day - the park pairs well with a Suffolk or Norfolk coastal holiday.
