Legoland Windsor Parking

Options
Anyone had a fine for not paying?

Last time I went we stayed in the hotel and got free parking by the hotel.

I belief they are charging £5 a day in the carparks up the hill.

Anyone not paid?

    It is a con though, but nothing you can really do.

    The whole of Legoland Windsor is a con if you ask me.

    A multi-million pound Danish company sets up a theme park to promote its products, charges eye-watering prices for entry, and then has the cheek to charge for parking, when there's nothing else nearby so the only people parking will be their customers.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.
  • Yeh well I have paid over £200 to be there for the two days why should I pay a £5 x 2.

    I didnt know they charged when I booked as last time I paid £300 for two days in the hotel and they have a free carpark lower down but its wasn't policed.

    The same deal this year was 470-565 for a night in their hotel breakfast and two days in the park.

    I only found out the other day they wanted £5 for me to park and I was wondering since it has no access control to my knowledge how they policed it.
    I wouldn't go again but my kids really want to go, I think it very over hyped and priced for what it is.

    Yes it is a rip off, went once at someone else's expense no desire to go back, but if you are paying £100 for entry, another five quid is hardly worth the risk.
  • you can book priority parking apparently for £10 but reading online once that is full you have to que to get a refund!

    If you are talking about the main car parks , you buy a ticket once you are in and they collect them when you drive out

    If you park in the Park & Ride car park you can get the bus up the hill.
