THE LATEST NEWS AND DEALS FROM THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
LEGOLAND TO REOPEN
Legoland Windsor has outlined plans to reopen on April 12, with a policy of masks for all guests over the age of 11 throughout the park.
Guests aged 11 and over, except those who are exempt, will have to wear face masks on all rides except for water rides, as well as throughout the park.
Some rows and seats on rides will be left empty to keep guests a safe distance from one another, and rides will be cleaned frequently throughout the day.
Indoor restaurants will be closed and instead there will be outdoor seating and takeaway services available.
The resort said it will be limiting the number of guests each day and pre-booking tickets online in advance is essential. Those visiting in the next couple of months must follow the Government’s rule of six and not mix or form larger groups while in the park.
The park is unveiling 15 new Lego models made from 1.2 million bricks and featuring characters such as a musical dragon and a family of rollerblading giraffes, which collectively took more than 8,000 hours to build.
