Escape the heat this summer at the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort with a fantastic range of water experiences for all the family. Cool down in the DUPLO® Splash Safari, a pre-school paradise where children can safely splash around amongst a menagerie of DUPLO animal friends. Then dare to brave DUPLO® Drench Towers, the largest water play structure in the UK with a gigantic tipping LEGO® brick bucket designed for maximum soaking! 

And there's plenty more wet and wonderful fun to be had on the Resort from making a splash on Pirate Falls Treasure Quest log flume with over 100 brand new LEGO models to the exhilarating Raft River Racers, where you will reach speeds of up to 35 mph whizzing down a wet and wild waterside. You can also navigate the choppy waters of Viking River Splash – but beware the water canons – or duck and dive, take aim and fire on the spinning Squid Surfer before checking out the spectacular Pirates of Skeleton Bay Stunt Show starring Captain Birdsnest and crew. Or perhaps take a plunge with the whole family on the Atlantis Submarine Voyage and immerse yourself in a magical underwater adventure, without getting wet!

With over 55 rides and attractions LEGOLAND Windsor Resort has something for everyone and when the sun shines there's plenty to do to cool down.
