Planning a day out of London en famille for Father’s Day? Save some serious dosh at LEGOLAND. The first 250 dads who turn up and correctly answer a Miniland trivia question at the turnstiles get in for FREE.
We can tell you that Miniland has a 47,000 lego brick Taj Mahal, a Statue of Liberty comprising 44,000 bricks and a huge Empire State building at five metres, but you’d better have a few more facts up your sleeve before you get there.
The offer only applies to dads so you’ll still have to fork out for kids and other adults, but as the usual turn up gate price is an eye-watering 52 quid this is a proper saving.
