As part of the Insiders Clubhouse, visitors can help shape the future of Lego play, with Play Testers taking on four interactive challenges.
The final challenge entails building a key that will unlock the doors to the Lego Vault and give sneak peaks at new Lego sets and behind the scenes content.
Access to the Lego Insiders Clubhouse is included in every ticket to Legoland Windsor and to become a Lego Play Tester, visitors must pick up a card inside the Lego Insiders Clubhouse.
Visitors then take on the challenges to show off their building skills.
It is free to enter the Clubhouse once in the attraction and it is also free to become an insider.
A video posted on social media shows glimpses of the clubhouses - where giant Lego figurines can be seen, interactive machines and even a mini space game where users must dodge obstacles.
The video also shows one visitor inserting a key to open two glass gates that open into the secret vault.
Many fans have expressed their excitement for the new clubhouse on social media, with one user commenting: "Can't wait to visit!"
Ramesh Ganeson, vice president of Legoland Windsor Resort said: "This summer, we're cranking up the fun at Legoland Windsor Resort.
"With thrilling rides, splashing adventures, and the brand-new Lego Insiders Clubhouse, there's something to spark every imagination.

"We can't wait to welcome families for a season bursting with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable brick-tastic memories."
Also available at the attraction this summer - starting July 5 - are the Drench Towers and Splash Safari.
Featuring water slides and a splash zone, the Drench Towers and Splash Safari are the perfect spot to cool down in the park on a hot day.
And for a limited time, there is also a Legoland Play Pass - which entitles visitors to unlimited entry for three months for £59 per person.
Legoland UK is also the biggest in the world and it recently announced that it is getting a grand new look.
The entrance will be getting updated to include a fresh look and two new structures either side of the sign that look like giant Lego bricks.
Lego characters such as knights and ninjas will also feature on the towers.
Plus, a new Lego attraction is set to open this year with interactive experiences and building workshops.

Maura Higgins sparks concern as she begs fans to help her with painful injured knee admitting it feels like it is 'on fire' and is 'killing her'
sparked serious concern after telling fans her injured knee is 'killing her'. The Irish TV star, 34, reached out for help from her fans on Instagram on Friday, explaining her knee felt like it was pulsing. Posing in a make-up free selfie as she held a drink in her hand, the Love Island alum wrote: 'Don't have the time right now to see a specialist, but if anyone has any recommendations for something I can buy to stop my knee from KILLING please DM me. 'It feels like there's a pulse inside of it & it's also on fire. 'The running around with the house move has not helped it. (yes my greys are out too, no time for that either.' The concerning update comes after Maura moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom 'dream house' in Essex. The Irish TV star reached out for help to her fans as she penned: 'Don't have the time right now to see a specialist, but if anyone has any recommendations for something I can buy to stop my knee from KILLING please DM me' Maura, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news that she had finally moved in. Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle. 'After the busiest few months.... she's finally in,' the former Love Island star captioned the snap. Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.' As a young woman in rural Ireland, Maura's future was set - stay in the town, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon. 'But that's not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father's and boyfriend's dream. I wanted to do more,' Maura previously defiantly declared. And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I'm A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties. Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black french doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex. Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms. Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption 'Bought my dream house'. An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn. Maura's previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.

Woman, 22, who drunkenly carried seagull home 'bleached her whole house' after discovering it had bird flu
A woman was forced to 'bleach her whole house' after discovering that a seagull she drunkenly carried home from a night out had bird flu. Erin Punton, 22, from Northumberland, has no idea why, but she picked up the bird 'without even a thought' from outside a Wetherspoons pub. She carried the seagull home and was baffled to find it flying around her living room the next morning. But things took another turn when she dropped off the animal at the vets - and they told her it had bird flu. Ms Punton said: 'I saw the bird outside Wetherspoons and managed to pick him up without even a thought. 'I don't even know what made me pick him up. 'I put him in my sitting room with a blanket. 'When I woke up in the morning, I'd forgotten and he was just floating around the sitting room. 'I dropped him off at the vets the next day in a box and was told he had bird flu.' The 22-year-old was shocked to hear this news, and said she 'felt sick' afterwards. 'I felt sick and bleached my whole house,' she said. Ms Punton had filmed herself drunkenly dancing with the seagull the night before. She was singing Valerie by The Zutons with the animal tucked under her arm. In the clip, she said: 'He's a beauty.

Gregg Wallace says 'I am not a flasher' and says he is horrified to be compared to Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards as he again blames autism for not wearing underwear
Disgraced presenter Gregg Wallace has hit out at critics for comparing him to Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards, insisting he is 'not a groper, sex pest or a flasher'. The former MasterChef host, 60, tearfully apologised to anyone he had hurt in the wake of dozens of allegations of inappropriate behaviour, including claims that he dropped his trousers in front of staff. In his first interview since being sacked by the BBC in light of the complaints, Wallace broke down in tears as he spoke of the 'hurt' suffered by him and his family, insisting he had been unfairly treated in the media spotlight. He told The Sun that he understood some of his actions may have offended people and 'weren't socially acceptable' but denied being a 'wrong-un'. 'I'm not a groper. People think I've been taking my trousers down and exposing myself - I am not a flasher. People think I'm a sex pest. I am not,' he added. Wallace said that being discussed in the same breath as notorious sex offenders Savile and Edwards was 'horrific' and admitted he was scared to go outside in case people 'abuse' him in the street. Wallace insisted he is 'not trying to play the victim' and claimed his autism diagnosis was partly responsible for some of his alleged behaviour as it means he struggles 'to read people' and can be perceived as 'odd' at times. He also again defended allegations - which he claims have been 'sexualised' - that he would not wear underwear while working on the cooking show, saying it was due to his 'hypersensitivity' as a result of the condition. Wallace stepped down from the hit BBC cooking show after complaints were made about his behaviour and following a report into his conduct, in which 45 of 83 complaints were upheld. In total, 41 people complained. The review concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour'. It added that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. The ex Eat Well for Less? presenter told the Sun that while he didn't deny being guilty of some of the claims, he believed things had been 'perceived incorrectly'. Wallace claimed that he had worked with around 4,000 people, meaning that just 0.5% of those he has worked with 'found fault with me'. He said his actions were the result of learned behaviour and workplace culture and claimed that his recent autism diagnosis also played a role. 'I know I am odd. I know I struggle to read people. I know people find me weird. Autism is a disability, a registered disability,' he said. Wallace has faced backlash from autism charities over similar claims, with some accusing him of using autism as an excuse for his alleged inappropriate behaviour. Seema Flower, founder of disabilities consultancy Blind Ambition, told BBC News there was 'no excuse' for being inappropriate to people in society. 'Where does it leave us if we use autism as excuse to behave in whatever way we like?' she asked. Emily Banks, founder of neurodiversity training body Enna, also condemned Wallace. She said: 'To be clear: being autistic is never an excuse for misconduct. It doesn't absolve anyone of responsibility, and it certainly doesn't mean you can't tell the difference between right and wrong.' While Dan Harris, who runs the charity Neurodiversity in Business and is himself autistic, said people like him 'may miss social cues autism is not a free pass for bad behaviour.' 'Comments like this stigmatise us and add an unfortunate negative focus on our community.' Wallace has previously said he felt the BBC failed to provide enough support for his condition during his 20 years working on Masterchef. 'My neurodiversity, now formally diagnosed as autism, was suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons of MasterChef,' Wallace said. 'Yet nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over 20 years.' During the interview, Wallace also defended his sacked former co-host John Torode, telling the paper he is 'not a racist'. Torode was the subject of an allegation about using racist language that was upheld as part of a review carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin into the alleged behaviour of co-presenter Wallace. Torode said he had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. Pointing to the allegation against Torode, Wallace told the Sun: 'I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist.' 'There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through,' he added. Torode never defended his MasterChef colleague when allegations against him first emerged in December last year. Wallace was said to be 'furious' with his former co-star and unfollowed him and his wife Lisa on Instagram. Wallace admitted that he and Torode 'never really did get on that well', insisting they are 'two very, very different characters'. But he went on to say they had made 'bloody good telly together for 20 years'. Wallace's comments come after it was revealed that the BBC would air its amateur 2025 series of MasterChef. In the nine months since the hit BBC programme finished filming last Autumn there have been questions over whether it would ever be broadcast following allegations of inappropriate behaviour against presenters Wallace and Torode. Now the corporation has revealed that the amateur series of MasterChef filmed last year, before allegations against Gregg and John were upheld, will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from August 6. The MailOnline understand that the BBC have told the MasterChef production company Banijay that the show should reduce Gregg and John's screen time to a minimum in light of the report's findings. A source said: 'The BBC have made it clear that it should limit the amount of airtime the presenters have in the editing of the new series, with a bigger focus on the contestants who are at the heart of the competition.' 'Neither Gregg nor John will appear in BBC iPlayer thumbnails and they will not be doing any promotional activity around the latest series.' 'All of the brilliant new contestants were consulted on whether the series should be broadcast, and no one objected.' 'Everyone involved is very keen to promote the hard work of the contestants and that will be our priority.' The BBC said it had taken the decision to broadcast the unaired series 'after careful consideration and consultation with the contestants'. In a statement, the corporation said: 'MasterChef is an amazing competition which is life-changing for the amateur chefs taking part. The focus of it has always been their skill and their journey.' The BBC also said it had not yet taken a decision on the completed celebrity series and Christmas special, filmed with Torode and food critic Grace Dent. In its statement, the BBC said: 'This has not been an easy decision in the circumstances and we appreciate not everyone will agree with it. 'In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters. We have been very clear on the standards of behaviour that we expect of those who work at the BBC or on shows made for the BBC. 'However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series.' The BBC concluded its statement by describing MasterChef as 'a brilliant, much-loved programme which is bigger than any one individual'.
