We stayed at the Holiday Inn express in Slough, got Pizza Hut for tea from over the road and had a great buffet breakfast just a shame we had to go back to Lego Land and join the queues again :neutral_face:

Would Thorpe Park be ok for a 5yr old/7yr old?
Thanks

i would say chessington would be more suitable, there is rides for kids its an angry birds themed area but chessington has a zoo and more suitable rides i would say.

I'm just now debating whether to go there in the summer holidays or the first weekend of school!! Is chessington as crazy busy as legoland?

Like anywhere there are rougher areas than others but never had any problems in the locations of the hotels.The T5 one is in Colnbrook just off the motorway.Grew up in Slough and its gone downhill over the years but like any tourist its not like you're going there for the town only somewhere to rest your head at night .Can think of worse places.

first weekend of school would probably be better it was busy when we went in the 6 weeks holidays. i suppose any theme park is the same, i think wherever you go you and your kids will enjoy it :smiley:

Totally agree, this spoils all the fun and having in mind how much everything costs (rides, food, parking, hotel) I'd seriously recommend to avoid weekends!
