Parents praise clever feature at Legoland - and it could save people's trips

A mum has pointed out a small but trip-saving feature at a popular theme park after visiting with her family.

Felicity Hannah, a mum-of-three, spotted the pleasantly surprising suncream dispensers at Legoland Windsor Resort, allowing families to protect themselves from sunburn whilst out and about.

The special dispensers dotted around the park caught her eye, leading her to snap a picture of one of them and share it to her social media page on Saturday afternoon, August 4.

She said: "Quite impressed by the sun cream dispensers at Legoland - just a good, helpful addition."

The dispensers are not a new feature, with a picture of one first being posted to the Official Legoland Windsor Facebook page in Summer 2019.

However, as the parks have been closed for a large portion of the pandemic, many people haven't visited the site since before March 2020 - leaving them unaware of the handy new features.

A number of people replied to Felicity's Tweet, asking other places to consider the same measures.

One person said: "This is brilliant! Everywhere that’s mostly outdoors should do this!

"Chester Zoo is somewhere I always go when it’s cloudy and end up getting accidentally burned!"

Another said: "The amount of hours I have collectively spent rummaging around in my bag trying to find sunscreen for my three. Great idea."

Some other commenters were quick to point out the irony of a suncream dispenser being covered in droplets of rain - a truly iconic feature of the British summertime.

Whilst others were concerned about finding the dispensers empty, Legoland have previously urged visitors to alert a member of staff or visit the guest services desk if they notice an empty dispenser and wish to use it.
