Planning for entertaining the kids during the upcoming Easter and summer holidays? A deal from Merlin, the company behind popular UK attractions like Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, and LEGOLAND Windsor, offers a discounted Merlin Annual Pass starting at £99 per person for a year of theme park fun.
This spring sale, available until March 29, includes discounts on Merlin’s three annual pass options. The Essential Merlin Annual Pass, priced at £99 down from £139, provides 339 days of unlimited entry to attractions with some date restrictions. The Gold pass, reduced from £239 to £189, offers additional benefits such as free parking and discounts at shops and restaurants. For £249 (down from £299), the Platinum pass comes with no date restrictions, Bring a Friend tickets, and a free Fastrack per visit.
Monthly membership options are also available during the sale period, with the Gold membership at £16.99 per month (from £19.99) and the Platinum membership at £20.99 monthly (reduced from £24.99).
Moreover, some Merlin parks offer their own annual passes tailored to specific attractions. For instance, Alton Towers’ annual pass starts at £64, similar to Chessington World of Adventures. Tesco shoppers can use Clubcard points for entry to Merlin attractions, and Blue Light Card holders can access exclusive theme park deals throughout the year.
Annual passholders can look forward to new attractions in 2026, including Alton Towers’ Bluey The Ride: Here Come the Grannies and the World of PAW Patrol at Chessington. LEGOLAND Windsor will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a year of special events.
Consider the various pass options based on your family’s preferences to make the most of these exciting attractions and offers.
