IF the idea of taking kids along to a summer festival sounds too much like hard-work, then Legoland Windsor may have the answer.

The festival runs until June 8, and is free with normal entry to the park.
This means that the next couple of weeks is a great time to visit Legoland Windsor to get more value from your ticket.
The festival is scattered throughout the whole park across five distinct zones, offering shows, music, activities and of course plenty of hands-on brick modelling.
Young visitors are even issued festival-style lanyards when they enter the park to really make them feel part of the action.

As they make their way through the various zones completing activities they receive a stamp at every spot. A prize awaits for those who complete their stamp card.
The 'Music Zone' located in the centre of the park's Heartlake City area plays home to a vibrant 'Battle of the Bands' show where kids can rock out to a group made-up of mini-figures characters brought to life.
After all that high-energy performance, the nearby 'Chill Out Zone' was a perfect place for the kids to take five.
Decorated with walls of flowers, in the 'Chill Out Zone' kids can build pretty brick blooms from Lego botanical kits.

My little one especially loved having a boogie when a giant costumed Lego minifigure 'DJ Goodvibes' spun some tunes.

In the nearby 'Creative Zone', Lego mosaic building was on offer in this zone, as well as cookie decoration at an additional charge.
In this area kids can also watch virtual workshops from Lego masterbuilder Alec, who has a huge following on YouTube.
The 'Gaming Zone' offered kids to add their own contributions to a huge Lego recreation of the Lost Isle from the popular Lego Fortnite game.
There is also a quirky Lego sushi bar where children can build Lego versions of the fishy snack.
Every zone features a huge new, mini-figure creation-the 'Cuddle Team Leader' from
And if you are lucky, costumed versions of the mini-figure characters pop up throughout the day at the zones to say hello.

Lego Festival is running in the lead up to World Play Day on June 11, which celebrates the importance of play to kids' development.
As well as all of the festival fun, all of the Windsor resorts usual rides and attractions are open as normal.
My three did all their favourites including putting out a fire in Lego City, riding in a hot air balloon and riding The Dragon rollercoaster.
Legoland is always great for all ages because there is such a great mix of attractions.
Whilst there are more thrilling rides for my older sons there are lots of gentle rides-such as the Fairy Tale Brook boat ride my youngest loves as you meander through gentle water ways following a re-telling classic stories like Cinderella and Hansel and Gretal with a Lego twist.
By the end of their festival adventure, my three were so tired they might as well have been to Glastonbury, although they were decidedly less muddy.
