As a parent, it’s sometimes tricky to navigate around visiting theme parks with our little ones & understanding what they can or can’t do. If you’re like me you like to know about the facilities ahead of visiting otherwise, it’ll cause anxiety (or is that just me). But here is a guide to visiting Legoland Windsor!
The typical rule for those under 0.90m is that they must be able to sit unaided to be able to ride the available attractions for them. If your baby is not yet sitting unaided they won’t be able to ride. If that’s the case it leaves very minimum things to do. You have the Deep Sea Adventure submarine ride where you’re able to hold babies in your arms with a mini Sea Life afterwards.
What Rides Can Be Done Under This Height?
Of course, we’ve only tried Liara with a select few of the following so I’m taking guidance from the official website for this list.
Fairy Tale Brook
4D Cinema
The Hill Train
Deep Sea Adventure
Ninjago
Coastguard HQ
Laser Raiders
Legoland Express
Balloon School
Duplo Express
Aero Nomad
Desert Chase
We’ve not tried any of the dark rides yet due to Liara’s sometimes becoming overwhelmed by loud & sudden noises. But it’s something we’ll give a go at in the future. As you can see there’s a reputable portion of rides that can be done if your little one can sit unassisted. Of course, many other attractions’s accessible alongside Mini Land and the magical forest in Mythica.
Facilities:
One thing I’ve found with Legoland is that feeding your babies indoors can be somewhat challenging, particularly during off-peak periods. Not a lot of food outlets open and when they do they often can get quite busy with little seating indoors. So, I’d recommend planning accordingly. There are feeding rooms nearby first aid in Heartlake City for breastfeeding mothers. There’s also an ideal number of baby changers around almost every toilet space. These spaces all seem very clean which isn’t always the case everywhere. But in terms of facilities, I have no criticism most of the private cubicles have adult toilets too. Very appreciative of those spaces as it’s not often we parents are thought of in those circumstances of baby changing and us visiting the loos ourselves!
Pushchair & Accessibility:
Legoland isn’t the flattest of places to visit by any means. However, you have the option of hopping the Hill Train down to the bottom of the park and up. Going down isn’t too bad as there are plenty of slopes to get down there. However, coming up I recommend you use The Hill Train. There’s nothing worse than pushing a pushchair up steep hills, especially after a full day walking around a theme park. You can leave your baby in the pram when riding on The Hill Train it’s a really straightforward form of transport from the bottom to the top which is a must-use in my opinion.
Is Legoland Worth Visiting?
Honestly, we’ve learnt to love this place even more since having Liara. She loves Fairy Tale Brook & Deep Sea Adventure. They are two firm favourites. I’d say if your little one has the core strength to hold themselves and can sit unaided and visit Legoland you’ll have the best time. But if your little one is not yet there then I’d suggest holding off a few months until they are. I’d suggest visiting somewhere like Drayton Manor or Alton Towers or even Chessington World of Adventures. Those places are more than a typical theme park they have the zoo attached, sea life etc.

I hope this was beneficial for those contemplating visiting Legoland Windsor with their little ones. Of course, this is based on personal opinions as well as facts from their own website.
