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.
Savvy mum shares hack for Sky VIP customers that gets you Legoland tickets for £17.50 - but you'll have to be quick
"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.

Greggs could BRING BACK iconic bake it scrapped six years ago leaving fans gutted

BAKERY chain Greggs could bring back its fan favourite steak and cheese roll after a dairy firm pulled a cheeky Stilton stunt. Big cheeses from Clawson Farms arrived at the company's HQ in a lorry flanked by motorcycle outriders and security guards to deliver an 8kg wheel of their pongy produce. 1 It came in response to fan demands for Greggs to reinstate the bake, which it scrapped in 2019. Clawson, owned by 30 farmers near Melton Mowbray, Leics, told Greggs: 'We've got the cheese, are you bringing the roll?' When Greggs dropped its steak and cheese offering, fans went into a full-on pastry panic — with one even writing a song about it. Master cheesemaker Richard Mayfield said: 'Greggs is a big brand, so we needed to make a big statement to get their attention.' Greggs boss Roisin Currie invited the cheeky cheesemakers into the Newcastle offices for a Greggs sausage roll. She did not give anything away about the return of the fan favourite, but her reaction is seen as the first sniff of a possible return. Big cheese Keith said: 'I live near one of the busiest Greggs shops in the country – and I'm in there most mornings. When the Steak & Cheese Roll disappeared, I was gutted. So we thought, why not offer them the best cheese in Britain and help bring it back?' 'Greggs is literally in my blood — three generations of my family have worked there, so campaigning to back the cheese roll, with our stilton in it, was a no-brainer! I spend my days going up and down the country spreading the love of Stilton, but this delivery? Well, it was rolling in style. "Meeting Roisin and the team was fantastic — she welcomed us in with open arms and took the whole thing in great humour. We're just here hoping Greggs might want us back for good!' Greggs was approached to comment on a possible comeback.

Gregg Wallace breaks silence on racism claim against MasterChef co-host John Torode

GREGG Wallace has defended his MasterChef co-star John Torode against racism allegations in an exclusive interview with The Sun. A BBC report which upheld 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour against Wallace also upheld a claim that a second person used a racial phrase once several years ago. 4 4 Torode later confirmed to The Sun that this allegation referred to him, but denied that it had ever happened. He followed Wallace in being sacked by the BBC after allegedly using a racial slur when repeating lyrics from rapper Kanye West's hit Gold Digger at an after-work ­gathering. Read Gregg Wallace's exclusive interview here But in an extensive interview with The Sun - in which Wallace also tearfully addresses the slew of complaints of bad behaviour made against him - the former greengrocer leaps to the defence of his co-star. Gregg exclusively told The Sun: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. "I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. 'And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years. "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.' Wallace was sacked by the Beeb after an investigation upheld 45 out of the 83 allegations made against him. The bombshell inquiry, carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin for production company Banijay, unveiled a litany of complaints against him. Most of them involved inappropriate sexual language and humour and a further 10 were made about other people - two of which were substantiated. Wallace, who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder during the seven-month probe, went on to add that he is "relieved the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018". Torode began presenting the BBC cooking contest alongside Wallace in 2005. Gregg and John celebrated the show's 20th anniversary in 2024 with a special dinner at Fishmongers' Hall in London. 4 4 MASTERCHEF SCANDAL TIMELINE 2005 to 2011: Problems with MasterChef began way back in the mid-2000s, with 27 substantiated claims made against host Gregg Wallace regarding alleged incidents in this period, according to a report by law firm Lewis Silkin. Most of these were related to sexually explicit comments, although one allegation of unwanted physical contact in this period was also substantiated. The same report found there was a failure by the production company to retain records of any actions taken during this time. 2012 to 2018: Another 17 allegations were upheld from this period, according to the report. The production company behind MasterChef investigated an allegation about Wallace's behaviour in 2015 - but he was not made aware of the complaint. In 2016, the production company merged with Endemol, introducing more formal policies as well as regular training and anonymous reporting lines. The BBC intervened in response to a complaint in 2017, after which Wallace was then warned to change his behaviour. 2019 to 2024: One substantiated complaint about an inappropriate comment was from this time period. November 2024: Wallace faces allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a 17-year period on a range of TV shows. He steps away from presenting MasterChef while Banijay - the show's production company - announces it will conduct an external review to 'fully and impartially investigate' the claims against him. Some of these allegations included Wallace 'talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to 'give her a fashion show', and telling a junior female colleague he was not wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans'. Banijay UK also confirms it has appointed law firm Lewis Silkin to lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged behaviour. December 2024: Wallace posts a video on Instagram which claims accusations against him making sexual comments towards staff and guests have come from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. His remarks are widely panned as "inappropriate and misogynistic', causing Wallace to apologise for any 'offence' or 'upset' he caused with his remarks, saying he will 'take some time out'. Co-host John Torode says he 'loves being part of' the show and 'will continue to be a part of it'. July 8 to 9, 2025: Wallace is sacked as MasterChef presenter following an enquiry into his alleged misconduct by Banijay. In an Instagram post, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him, ahead of the published review. He also said he recognised that some of his humour and language was inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. July 14, 2025: Lewis Silkin publishes its report, on behalf of Banijay. It says that a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact'. It concludes that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. In the wake of the report's findings, Banijay says that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable'. July 15, 2025: Co-host Torode is sacked after allegedly making a racist remark while on the show. BBC bosses axe the TV host and slam an "extremely offensive" term, which was raised in the bombshell report into Gregg Wallace's "inappropriate behaviour". Torode says the comment - which the report attributed to an unnamed person - referred to him, but added: 'I have absolutely no recollection of this, and I do not believe that it happened.'
