If you have been reading our blog, you will know we are a fan of Legoland. This year was actually the year of amusement parks, where we went to as many amusement parks as we could in the year. As Legoland is our most local amusement park, we wanted to go to the Halloween event, Bonfire Night event and Christmas event, to experience the park in a bunch of different ways. We were able to check out Legoland at Christmas and had a pretty fun time!
We are currently going to Legoland Windsor quite a bit at the moment, due to all of the events that they have on! Most recently, we went to the Firework Spectacular; a little celebration for bonfire night. Unlike the Halloween Event, the Firework Spectacular actually didn’t effect any of the rides or the park as a whole. Instead, it had the park open a few hours later, so that everyone could watch some lovely fireworks.

We go to Legoland often and have for several years. Though we have never gone to Legoland for any of their special events before, we did end up hopping along, by mistake, for one of their 90th anniversary events and got to make some cool Lego designs that then allowed us to collect pop badges. These badges were really cool, and hung on our children’s wall, reminding them about Legoland and all of our adventures.
So, we went back for the Brick or Treat event at Legoland, which saw the park transformed into a Halloween wonderland, full of decorations and new spooks. We were actually able to see the vast majority of the Halloween things; taking pictures with the various spooky characters like Lord Drack, finding giant Lego heads, and riding our favourite rides. There are also a large number of limited time events around the park that we, of course, checked out.
[Ad- gifted experience] While in Reading, we ended up at the bar of The Botanist, through a slight mix up. Normally, a mix up is never the best situation, but as it happens, The Botanist is a wonderful venue with very unique and tasty drinks, which we were very excited to try. After our Day Out in London Bridge, finding ourselves with a couple of rounds of interesting drinks to taste sounded like a surprisingly great way to end our day.
We took the time to try a handful of the most unique and interesting cocktails on the menu and Dann tried a beer type he had not had before. These cocktails not only tasted delicious but also came in a variety of strange and intriguing glasses! We drank our drinks in rounds, so see the captions of pictures to know what drink goes with what name.
Kai asked to go to Legoland, so off to Legoland Windsor we went. Jupiter has never been to an amusement park in the United Kingdom, nor had she been to Legoland, so she was very excited! Dann on the other had had been to Legoland and other amusement parks, but not with the kids, so it’s exciting times for all.
