Cheap Legoland Tickets UK: How to Get 2 for 1 Deals

On the hunt for cheap Legoland tickets? You’re in luck. There are loads of ways to cut the cost of visiting LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, and some of the best deals are hiding in plain sight. From cereal packet vouchers to Tesco points, here’s how to bag 2 for 1 Legoland tickets and save a serious amount of money.

How much is a Legoland ticket?

The most expensive way to enter the park is to turn up on the day and buy a ticket at the gate. Always book in advance, as it could save you up to 38% per ticket. Ticketing used to be broken up into four colours, depending on when you visited. However, since 2021, pricing has become more simple.

Legoland used to offer afternoon and all-inclusive tickets. However, they’re currently not being offered.

Remember – children under 0.9m in height get in free.

That’s all very well, but how do you find discounts?

2 for 1 Legoland tickets… from cereal packets

Have you ever sat at your table early in the morning, munching through your cereal whilst staring at the packet? Or is that just me? Anyway, if you have, you may have noticed an offer on the side of the packet. It will often say something like “Free Adult Entry”.

These vouchers can often be used for all the major parks around the UK, such as Alton Towers, Chessington, Thorpe Park and yes, Legoland. All you have to do is present the voucher and when you purchase a child or adult’s ticket, an adult gets in free. 2 for 1! And if you’re wondering, an adult and a child’s ticket cost the same.

Now, the above method can be a pain as you have to queue when you arrive at the park to buy your tickets. But never fear! Cereal packets should have a unique code written inside the box. This allows you to book your tickets online without any need for queuing. You can then print your ticket and scan it on entry. Please note that I did say “should”.

Unfortunately, when we went to book our tickets, one of our packets was missing the code, which meant we had to choose the queuing option.

Which cereal packets?

Kellogg’s. In fact, it’s not restricted to just their cereal packets. You can also find the vouchers on their cereal bar and Fruit Winder packets, although not the codes which allow you to book online. The promotion isn’t always on, so you need to check their current offers by visiting Kellogg’s website.

I can’t find any vouchers!

If Kellogg’s site tells you the promotion is on, it’s well worth taking a trip to your local supermarket to have a root around for the vouchers. But if you can’t find any, pop round to a neighbour’s house or ask friends and family. And if all else fails, then eBay is your friend. There are plenty of people selling these vouchers for just a few pounds.

Vouchers aren’t the only way to find discounts from Legoland, Windsor. There are a couple of schemes which can help you save money too.

Legoland discount tickets for Blue Light Card holders

If you work for the emergency services and have a Blue Light Card, you can book discounted Legoland tickets through their site or app. This will save you around £5 per ticket compared to booking it through The Legoland website.

Kids Pass

This handy membership offers discounts for families on cinema tickets, restaurants and, most importantly, theme parks. Kids Pass claims a family of four will save £73.44 by booking through them.

It does cost to join Kids Pass, but you can usually take a trial out for just £1.

Tesco Clubcard

If you’re a regular shopper at Tesco, the chances are you will have built up some Clubcard points. These can be exchanged at quite a few places, including Legoland.

You will receive 2 x the value of your Clubcard points. That means £1 of Clubcard points will be worth £2 in Legoland tickets.

Take a look at some of the best ways to spend your Clubcard points.

Groupon

Groupon is a deals site offering discounts not only at shops but for days out too. There are deals for Legoland regularly listed on the site, although they won’t usually save you quite as much as half-price.

Annual pass

If you plan to make several trips to Legoland over the year, it may be worth investing in one of their annual passes.

A standard pass gives you

• Off-peak entry into Legoland Windsor
• 10% off in retail shops
• 20% off food and beverage

If you upgrade to an annual premium pass, you will also get free entry on super-peak days and free parking.

Hotel deals

If you decide to spend a couple of days at Legoland, then a night in the hotel might be preferable. Staying on-site comes with some added benefits

• 2nd day free – visit the park on the 2nd day for no extra cost
• Just steps away from the park
• A treasure hunt in every room
• Pirate-themed indoor pool
• Themed rooms with interactive Lego features
• Full breakfast

There are two options to choose from – the Legoland Castle Hotel and the Legoland Resort Hotel, with the latter being slightly cheaper. If you decide to stay in a Legoland hotel, expect to pay a premium of anything between £150-£250 per night.

The Legoland website also shows deals for hotels outside the park, which are much cheaper.

If you’re trying to get the best deal and you can find half-price tickets using the method above, it will be cheaper to book your room by going to the hotel directly.

For example, below is the price for two children and two adults for one night at the Copthorne Hotel, Slough. For one night and park entry for two days, the cost comes to £277 (incidentally, staying at the Legoland Castle Hotel costs £645).

If you were to buy your tickets separately, they would set you back £39 each or £156 for four people. With half-price tickets, that would mean it would come to £156 for entry for both days.

But visiting the Copthorne Hotel directly, the price for booking a room for a family of four came to £46.85.

In total, the cost comes to £202.85 – a saving of £74.15.

As you can see, just from a few minutes’ work, you can save a lot of money.

But avoid buying tickets on the day

Whatever you do, don’t just turn up at the Legoland park and buy your tickets. The ticket booth is the most expensive way to do it. Even if you go on the Legoland website and book an advanced reservation, the tickets will be cheaper.

Other Legoland costs

Finding cheap Legoland tickets won’t be your only concern. You will need to pay for parking, although you get a discount for booking in advance. Priority parking will cost more. Personally, I would never choose priority as it isn’t that much closer and you will be walking all day anyway.

Food. If you’re sensible/prepared, then take food with you. A meal (burger, chips and a drink) came to just over £40 for the five of us. And there is the option to order a meal deal in advance, saving you around 14%. I kept hold of a “bottomless” cup we received with the food so I could go back later on and grab a drink on the way out of the park. I’m not sure if you’re allowed to, but take that anyway Mr. Legoland!

You can purchase a Coca-Cola Freestyle Vessel, which costs between £9 and £12, depending on the number of cups you buy.

Bottles of soft drinks are also available around the park and cost in the region of £3.

But don’t let the cost put you off, as I’m sure you’ll all have a fantastic time.

Good luck in your search for cheap Legoland tickets!
