Can anyone tell me whether it is suitable for our 2 year 3 month old toddler please. are there enough activities for us to do with her to justify the hefty price (over £60 for 2 adults!!)
or shall i take her to the Romsey memorial park to play on swings and slides and terrorise the ducks?
Expensive day out for one so young. Went last year and would say that at that age your money would be better spent elsewhere.
Legoland is ace for kids a bit bigger than her. Swings and slides every time 🙂
Great day out, but would think the kids need to be 5/6 yrs + to get the best out of it. We did take a 4 year old once but was cream crackered by 2.0pm and spent most of the afternoon asleep.
D.
Collect your Tesco vouchers and wait until your little one is 5 or 6.
BTW a great place to visit, there is quite a bit for little ones to get through in a day, but maybe not enough for 2 days 😉
Off there tomorrow with the wife and our three kids 😀
ok thanks all. Paultons is down the road from us and is half the cost but even there there isn't a great deal for the very young. thought legoland may have had more for the toddler.
When we went there were some great deals with Legoland and local hotels, two nights and family entry cost less than 1 day ticket and one local b&b, so we took the kids for two short day sessions instead of one mega-day. Probably still available on the legoland website....
Went to Legoland yesterday with our just turned 4 year old daughter and 6 year old son...great day out. We had grandparents with us so the 4 year old went on the more sedate rides with the grandparents whilst we took the 6 year old on the rollcoaster rides (110cm ride heights for rollcoasters iirc). 4 year old went down the rapids water ride (100cm ride height iirc) and loved it...which surprised us. I'd probably leave it until they are 3 years old to really enjoy it.
Not a cheap day but very good fun and Legoland is cleaner and better maintained that the Tussauds theme parks IMHO. Plus there's Lego!!! So when everyone's cream crackered you can stroll around the Lego city.
Only minor thing was the queue out the park: took us an hour to get out from the car park!
Off to Disneyland in a month and I'll be interested to see how that compares. Paultons we really enjoyed and the kids were 3 and 5 when we last went.
have a look on www.moneysavingexpert.com for 2 for 1 vouchers, you can get them all over the place, we took my son last year 2 years 3 months and he loved it, he couldn't go on all the rides, but still had a great fun and talks about it now. There was an offer on walkers at the time so handed a few vouchers out at the time so big group of teenagers got in half price which made their day.
Looking at the models was great and they had a monster truck event outside in a field off the car park which was very good for small boys obsessed with toy cars.
Lego driving school and train was good fun and also the show at lunchtime around the lagoon was worth sitting there for.
my boys nursery went last week - toddlers aged 2-3 and 3 tods aged 16 months. The nursery people came back very disappointed - apparently very little do for kids that age and the one suitable play area for them had no gates on, so they literally had to stand guard at the entrances. Also, the rides that were suitable for the kids had to have a 1:1 ratio for kid:adult. That said they said it would suit slightly older kids - so maybe wait a year or 2 and go down your local park playon swings and feedthe ducks (and save 60 quid into it)
Collect the Tesco vouchers to keep the cost down. My 2 1/2 son got quite a lot out of it in the Summer, but he's quite tall for his age. Daughter, 6, thought it was fantastic. Personally I found it all a bit tired and in need of a good tidy up / refurbishment and the food was a bit pants and expensive. Still the kids really enjoyed it which was the main thing.

It doesn't, Disney in my experience is in a whole different league, been to Paris and Orlando (service is better in Orlando). Food's still generally very expensive and pants though.
