The other attraction is Spinning Spider located at the bottom of the area, this ride is a spinning teacups style ride where guests ride in log-style gondolas as an animatronic LEGO spider gnashes its jaws and breathes smoke on a web above.

Pupils visiting the park can also take part in one of the varied curriculum focused workshops to experience a fun hands-on and engaging session hosted by trained educational staff.

The workshops are led by the award winning Education Team. They are finely tuned to complement the National Curriculum – with a LEGO® twist. Pupils can learn about STEM, English, Art, Geography and Computing to name but a few.

Staff at LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort go above and beyond to make sure that planning a visit is as easy as possible. The resort provides a number of resources on its website to help teachers prepare for their school trip.
