The Entrance |
Entrance
It's on the B3022 Bracknell / Ascot road two miles from Windsor. Follow signs from the M4. Expect traffic queues both on arrival and departure. The adventurous coming from the West may like to go via Bracknell to avoid the queue to and from the M4.Drive through the entrance from the roundabout and follow the road up the hill. All car parks are within easy walking distance of the gates. Don't bother paying extra for the "Preferred Parking". Remember where you parked ! (Daddy forgot once)

View from the beginning |
The Beginning.
If you aren't given one on entrance, make sure you pick up a park guide. A map is in the centre pages. Also pick up a single piece of paper giving the show times of the four shows. Look down over the park and get your bearings.
The park is split into 9 areas, most of which are based on a range of Lego sets. You're in 'The Beginning'. The attractions here are
- Creation Centre
Look down on the areas and get your bearings. The other eight areas are :-
Imagination Centre
The attractions here are
- Large rooms filled with Lego and Duplo.
- Space Tower
- Sky Rider
- 'Imagination Theatre' which currently is showing "Lego Racers 4D"

Eurostar in Miniland |
Miniland
The famous "World In Miniature" (actually it's mainly Europe). I love to just sit and watch the trains go by. Daddy found the whole area was far more interesting than he expected !  |

This area is for younger children. The rides, activities and shows here include

- Young adventure playground
- Miniature train ride (one of my favourites when I was younger).
- Willow Stage - which regularly shows puppet shows.
- Water Works - great fun on a hot day.
- The Extreme Team challenge - which is a little out of place here, but they needed a steep hill to slide down !

|
The Pirate Falls |
Wild Woods
For slightly older children. The rides and activities include
- The very popular Pirate Falls log flume
- The Rat Trap, an adventure playground for older children
- The Spinning Spider - which Daddy says makes him feel sick, so I go on with Mummy.
- Panning for Gold - this costs extra, but you get a medal.

Me at the Lego Driving School when I was younger |

Fire Academy |
Traffic
This consists of five driving areas :-- Driving School - Cars for 6-13yrs
- L-Drivers - Cars for 3-5 yrs
- Boating School
- Balloon School
- Fire Academy
For the 6-12 year old car drivers, they get to watch a 'rules of the road' video beforehand.
You really steer the boats in the boat ride. It's not as easy as it looks !
The Balloon School and Fire Academy is a little up the hill from the rest of the areas.
The Fire Academy is a strange ride. It needs the whole family ! First everyone pumps the engine to the fire. Then they pump the water at the fire. Then they pump the engine back !
