only one free child ticket per full paying adult. maximum of 2 adults in a group. thought I'd just make that clear
I'm assuming it'll be packed this weekend and personally would avoid it.

The Star Wars event weekends are usually VERY busy (from past experience), with Bank Holiday weekends bad too whenever we went. The best times to go are usually on the Sunday at the end of school holidays.
Or stay until the very end and visit the shop at the top for a bit (again, from past experience).

LEGOLAND is already a crazy busy place, on a bank holiday weekend? no thanks!! top tip, leave an hour early if you want to get out of car park in less than 45 mins!

Or do what I did and park on the hotel car park on the right as you go in. Then jump in the lift with other families who are actually staying at the hotel, as you need your key card to operate the lift to get to the right floor to enter the park!:stuck_out_tongue:

Went on an inset day and unfortunately found out all the local schools also had the day off. Was a nightmare and cam imagine it would be similar this weekend.
Would say you'd save a few quid on ticket price but need to buy the expensive car parking (or take 2 hours to get to the main road later in the day as we did) and buy the Qbot to jump the queues which means everyone else will hate you.
Would personally stay away , use a similar voucher from kellogs later in year

when we've been we have also left right at closing time ... wastes an hour of ride time - we also try and get on the rapids as we walk back towards the entrance gates :smiley: never really much of a queue getting out.. not as bad as Alton Towers!!

It's worth paying £10 extra to express park at Towers, you are in your car within 2 minutes of leaving the gate.

You have to buy the Legoland tickets as a package with a hotel stay to have the free kids ticket offer.
Went 2 years ago when it was the Star Wars days. 6 year old soon loved it. I'd go again at this time of year. Not too busy.
