Best Legoland Windsor deals: the cheapest ticket offers and discounts

2025-10-10T09:01:55.000Z

Legoland Windsor is the ultimate UK-based destination for families, especially if you've got little ones in the mix.

Located in the South West of England, the theme park offers a wide range of rides, shows and events to keep everyone entertained. From Adventure Golf to exciting rides like Beetle Bounce, there's something to suit everyone, no matter what your age is.

However, it's well known amongst parents that visiting the magical land of LEGO isn't so easy on your wallet. In fact, rocking up in your car and purchasing a family ticket at the gates on the day can cost a lot more than you might think.

So, how do you ensure you're getting the best deal on ticket prices? Look no further than our definitive guide to the best Legoland deals, offers and discounts available this month.

You can find more of the best days out and experiences on Made For Mums Love to Visit. Plus, check out the best rides at LEGOLAND Windsor. Plus check out the best teen advent calendars and best kids advent calendars.

How to get cheap Legoland tickets

As well as scouting out the top monthly deals, we've also put together some practical top tips which will make your Legoland Windsor experience cheaper, both before you visit the theme park and on the day. Let's take a look at some ideas.

Pre-book your ticket. It possibly goes without saying that showing up on the day without pre-booking tickets will mean you'll spend more money at the gate. Pre-booking your tickets could save you up to £34 per ticket.

Select your day wisely. Tickets during term time on weekdays tend to be a little cheaper, costing approximately £34 per person, compared to £39 on weekends and during school holidays. We completely understand that not everyone is able to visit Legoland Windsor during term time as there's every chance your child will be in school if they're a bit older. However, this might come in handy for parents of toddlers and little ones still at nursery.

Legoland is transparent on the official website about the fact that some days are more expensive than others. So, if you plan your visiting dates carefully, you can work around the calendar to ensure you're getting the best price possible.

Bring a packed lunch. This one might sound like a no-brainer, but it's best to be prepared with a packed lunch for your whole family than to fork out on the day for food.

What age is Legoland Windsor most suitable for?

With 55 rides, shows and attractions designed for kids aged two to 12, Legoland Windsor is suitable for a whole range of age groups.

Although under fives can have a lot of fun at Legoland, they can't go on all of the rides. So, we'd recommend the core age group of Legoland Windsor is ages six to nine.

Get 1/3 off Legoland tickets with National Rail

National Rail are offering Legoland 1/3 off admission when you purchase train tickets to the nearest stations. Claiming this offer is super simple, and we've written down each step:

Visit National Rail's Days Out Guide website
Choose Legoland Windsor Resort as your attraction, and add to the basket
Head to your basket and pop in the date you're travelling and the station you're travelling from
Click 'confirm my order' - and you'll be taken to your National Rail account
From there, link up your day out with your tickets, and you're good to go!
At the park, present your train tickets and your vouchers to claim the discount.

You must present your train tickets on arrival for the voucher to work, so make sure you've got proof of purchase or that you don't let the ticket barriers eat your ticket at the station. Ask a member of staff to let you through the gates, instead.

If you're travelling by car, it might still be cheaper to book a train ticket to Windsor & Eton Central from a nearby station, and claim the vouchers, rather than pay full price. Just don't forget to print off your tickets or pick them up from your local station before heading off.

How to get tickets for Chessington’s family Halloween event

2025-10-07T14:44:50.000Z

October is almost upon us and with it comes October half-term and, more importantly, Halloween.

Whether your child enjoys spooky things or not, you can't go wrong with a family trip to a theme park.

This year, Chessington World of Adventures is hosting a huge range of events at their Howl'o'ween celebrations. From mazes and shows to rides at dusk, there's plenty to do for kids of all ages.

Below, we've gone into detail about what you can expect from the event, including what's on, opening times, prices, and most importantly – is it scary?

For more October adventures, check out the best family Halloween events. And for more Chessington adventures, check out our roundup of the best rides at Chessington. If you're after a Halloween advent calendar to help countdown to All Hallows Eve, check out our list.

Buy Chessington Howl'o'ween tickets from £34 at Chessington

What is Chessington doing for Halloween?

At Halloween, Chessington runs Howl'o'ween: a celebration at weekends and during the October half-term which includes a ton of spooky activities for all the family.

The event includes mazes, shows, a pumpkin patch and spooky characters wandering around. Across the month the theme park will also be open later so you can go on the rides at dusk.

They also have the Enchanted Hollow: Trick or Treat walkthrough, where children step into an underground home to a plethora of charming critters. They can knock on their doors, not only meeting the townsfolk and uncovering hidden secrets but also getting some sweet treats from Haribo and Maoam.

Enchanted Hollow is an optional extra and needs to be booked in advance.

This year they're also launching a new scare zone called Stone Watchers: Vampire's Lair, a new experience that's a bit on the spookier side. This is in addition to fun shows like Spelltacular and Rising Flame: Shadows of the Tomb and, of course, a fancy dress costume contest!

What are the dates for Chessington’s Halloween event?

Howl'o'ween runs across the October weekends and throughout the school half-term. Here are the dates:

4th – 5th October
11th – 12th October
18th October – 2nd November

What are Chessington’s opening times during Halloween?

Chessington is open from 10am to 5pm throughout Howl'o'ween, giving your little ones the chance to experience rides at dusk.

Is Chessington’s Halloween event family-friendly?

Howl'o'ween is billed as for "families of all ages," so it's definitely family-friendly.

In our Chessington review, we said that the ideal age would be between 6 and 13 if you're interested in going on the rides. But, the good thing is Howl'o'ween has more than just rollercoasters, it also has exciting shows, a cast of characters (who range from friendly to frightening depending on the area of the park) and plenty of activities for small children.

However, that doesn't mean there won't be some scares. For those in the "Brave Adventurers" category, the bigger rides will also be open late, alongside the new scare zone, Stone Watchers.

What is the scariest ride at Chessington?

Dragon's Fury, Mandril Mayhem or the Vampire Ride tend to be thought of as the scariest rides at Chessington.

Dragon's Fury has a ton of twists and turns, dips and dives, meanwhile, the Vampire ride flings you around over the tree-tops at speeds of 45 mph, while your legs are dangling down. The Jumanji themed Mandril Mayhem is one of the newest rides at the park and the first to include an inversion.

Dragon's Fury and Mandril Mayhem have a height restriction of 1.2m while the Vampire has a 1.1m height restriction.

How much do Chessington Halloween tickets cost?

Tickets start at £34 when you buy online in advance and £64 if you walk up on the day.

These standard entry tickets get you one day access to the Theme Park, Zoo, SEA LIFE and Howl‘o’ween activities. If you want to go into the Enchanted Hollow you'll need to buy additional tickets which are £5 for adults and £10 for children (who get a treat bag), although this year's Hollow tickets aren't on sale yet.

You can also book a short break from £34 per person, which includes a one-night stay at the theme park, plus early ride time and animal meet and greets.
