14 reviewed
Some of these fill weeks ahead and some you can walk up to on the morning. Below are 14 theme parks, zoos & family attractions worth your afternoon, each with its price, its start point and the detail that decides it.
Thorpe Park day ticket from London with mobile entry included. Ride 30+ attractions, catch seasonal events like Fright Nights, add Fastrack.
“I got the date wrong should be for Monday Can't contact any one to change date I have paid but no sign of a refund”
Skip the guesswork and enjoy Alton Towers in one day, with 50+ rides, major coasters, and CBeebies character fun in Staffordshire.
“Took my disabled child but was unaware I had to prebook an access pass. Only managed to get her on one ride the entire day and that involved me carrying her through the crowds as I was not allowed to take her wheelchair to the closest access point. Utterly disgraceful on the part of Alton towers. They said they did this from feedback received from other disabled users. I very much doubt that. They seem more interested in selling fast track passes and promoting use of their app meaning staff nowhere to be seen when help needed. Yes I complained at the end of the day but only after queuing…”
Skip the box office with a mobile 1-day LEGOLAND Windsor ticket, enjoy 55-plus rides, and plan for long queues.
“We had an alright day at LEGOLAND, but I have to be honest — unless you’re willing to pay an extra £94 per person for the Reserve & Ride passes, it’s really not worth it. Queue times for nearly every ride were around an hour, which meant we spent more time standing in line than actually enjoying the park. We ate at the Skyline Restaurant and spent £60 for 1 adult meal and two kids’ meals — and unfortunately, the food was nothing special. The park itself has some great theming and my kids did enjoy the rides we managed to get on, but the overall experience felt overpriced for…”
Timed SEA LIFE London entry to see sharks, turtles, penguins and rainforest creatures across 14 zones, with VR and a glass shark walk.
“I took my two children there on Saturday and we had an amazing time. We all loved it! Such an incredible experience. We arrived 15 minutes late past our booking time however we were still able to do the whole experience as soon as we arrived which was very lucky, as I thought we wouldn’t be able to get in. This is actually the second time we’ve been but they were more younger so they didn’t understand much at the time but this time truly topped it, incredible!”
Madame Tussauds, London Eye, and SEA LIFE in one 90-day combo ticket. Big views, lifelike stars, and marine life across 3 floors.
“It was just perfect except for the London eye where there’s no priority entry with a toddler. We had to wait approximately 45mins under the rain and cold.”
London Zoo entry ticket with skip-the-line access, featuring Land of the Lions, Tiger Territory, Penguin Beach, gorillas, and 720 species.
“We had a fantastic day. A lot to see and you can get quite close to several of the animals. We took our own lunch but there are food places all around park.”
Two days at LEGOLAND Windsor with 55+ rides and Miniland made from 42 million LEGO bricks. Mobile ticket, near public transport.
Two days at Alton Towers Resort with a mobile ticket, Wicker Man thrills, and early entry to beat queues. Parking and food cost extra.
“The first day was fantastic as we were only queued for 15 minutes to get on each ride. The Friday was just chaotic waiting in an hour in each queue so we only managed to get on 6 rides. Really disappointed that the river wasn’t open.”
Timed SEA LIFE London Aquarium entry lets you tour 3 floors, 14 zones, 500 species, with sharks underfoot and live feedings.
“The shark tank and the VR where very memorable experience, various types of aquatic SEA creatures seen there.”
LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Manchester: prebooked entry, MINILAND, Ninjago playground, 4D cinema, rides, and free car parking at Trafford Palazzo.
“Code didn’t work at the venue! The queue was held up for over 15mins. Do not use this website. The kind lady at the desk let us through after seeing what the issue was.”
Combo ticket for SEA LIFE London Aquarium and the London Eye, with marine zones plus 360-degree city views for about $66.
“Very easy to use this app and sea life centre as enjoyable as ever london eye with its great views of London must see”
SEA LIFE Manchester admission ticket with a self-paced 2-hour route through turtles, jellyfish, sharks, rays, and interactive rockpools for families.
“Husband booked for myself and the kids to snorkel with sharks. It was an amazing experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! A huge thank you to Jordan W who explained everything to us, answered all questions and made the experience one to remember!”
Chester Zoo entry gets you 30,000 animals, 520 species, indoor tropical habitats, daily talks, included parking, and 130 acres of gardens.
“There is a family ticket for sale on the Chester Zoo website, it’s not available on this app.”
London Zoo entry with a mobile ticket, plan your own route through lions, tigers, penguins, and indoor Tiny Giants in 3 to 5 hours.
“The zoo was great, but we didn't ned the jump to the front pass. There was no line. The walking with lemurs was awesome. I really enjoyed it!”
