A current promotion at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort offers families the chance to turn a single overnight stay into almost a year of days out. For a limited period, every guest on a qualifying short-break booking receives a Merlin Essential Annual Pass as part of the package.
Families who book directly with the resort by 1 March 2026 for stays between 14 March and 26 June 2026 are eligible. The booking must include at least one night in the resort’s own accommodation, such as the LEGOLAND Resort Hotel, LEGOLAND Castle Hotel or the LEGOLAND Woodland Village.
What the Annual Pass Includes
The Merlin Essential Annual Pass provides up to 339 days of access from activation to more than 20 attractions operated by Merlin Entertainments across the UK.
These include major theme parks and attractions such as:
Alton Towers Resort
Chessington World of Adventures Resort
Thorpe Park Resort
Warwick Castle
SEA LIFE London Aquarium
The London Eye
Madame Tussauds London
Passholders must activate their passes online before visiting attractions, and some date restrictions apply under the Essential tier.
For families who regularly plan theme park trips, zoo visits, aquarium days or castle experiences throughout the year, the annual passes quickly remove the need to buy expensive day tickets. Even two or three return visits to Merlin attractions later in the year would normally exceed the cost of this short break.
Instead of paying repeatedly for individual days out, one overnight stay unlocks a wide range of experiences across the country for most of the year.
The key is that the booking must be made directly with LEGOLAND Windsor Resort within the promotional window, and the passes are issued only to guests staying overnight in the resort’s own accommodation.
