essentially a membership card that gets you into some of the UK\u2019s top theme parks, landmarks, and family days out. From The London Dungeon to LEGOLAND, the pass allows you access to multiple attractions across the UK and can be used over at least 200 days in the year.<\/p>\n<p>Described as \u201cthe ultimate passport to a year of epic togetherness\u201d the annual pass is the easiest way of seeing all these attractions in a short space of time like the holidays. With 29 options available, you\u2019ll be able to go from place to place without having to keep buying individual tickets.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a id=\"&quot;HOW&quot;\"\/>How does the Merlin Annual Pass work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Merlin Pass gives you at least 200 days of entry to 29 family attractions across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>There are four types of passes \u2013 Discover, Silver, Gold and Platinum \u2013 which offer you a wider selection of dates as they go up in price. For the more basic memberships, you\u2019ll come across a greater number of \u201cexclusion dates\u201d where you can\u2019t get free entry to the attractions, but for the higher priced memberships, you\u2019re looking at fewer exclusion dates and extra perks like free parking. But, for all the passes, you still get entry to the same amount of parks and experiences like Chessington, Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and more.<\/p>\n<p>Each pass can only be used by one person and will carry their name and photograph. This means that families will need to purchase a pass per each member for everyone to get access.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve bought the Merlin Pass, you can\u2019t just turn up at the gates of these attractions, instead you\u2019ll need to pre-book. Your pass will arrive digitally and will include a barcode and unique pass number, using these you can then find the date and time you wish to enter your attraction and can also enter the pass details for other members in your family. Then, voila! It\u2019s time to head off on your epic day out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.merlinannualpass.co.uk\/buy-passes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\"><strong>Buy the Merlin Annual Pass from \u00a399 per person<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong><a id=\"&quot;WHERE&quot;\"\/>Where can you go with the Merlin Annual Pass?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Merlin Annual Pass gives you access to 29 locations across the UK, from major theme parks to local SEA LIFE centres.

Where they differ is in terms the days you can visit these attractions and the various discounts and perks you can get while there.<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019ve said, the cheaper memberships will include a larger number of dates you can\u2019t book on. This often includes peak visit times like Saturdays and the summer holidays, so you\u2019ll need to think carefully about if it\u2019s worth it before you buy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the more expensive packages will have far less exclusion dates and will also give you additional benefits like special offers on food and drink and sometimes free parking.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a closer look at the four types of passes on offer:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Discovery Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Discovery Pass is the most basic package. It gives you over 200 days of entry to the different attractions but at off-peak times only. This means it can\u2019t be used over the summer, Easter and Christmas holidays or any of the half-term periods. It also excludes several Saturdays and sometimes whole weekends, so you\u2019ll have to think carefully if your children are school age.<\/p>\n<p>The up-side however, is that the Discovery Pass is the cheapest at just \u00a399 per person. And seeing as Alton Towers Day tickets start at \u00a336 per person, you\u2019d be making your money back in less than three visits!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.merlinannualpass.co.uk\/buy-passes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Buy the Discovery Pass from \u00a399 per person at Merlin Annual Pass<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Silver Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Silver Pass is an instant step up, giving you over 300 days access to all the different attractions. The exclusion dates will now only be for peak dates like Bank Holiday Mondays and October Half Term, although you still won\u2019t be able to book for almost the whole of August. With the Silver pass however, you can get a discount on tickets if you still want to visit on these restricted dates, as well as 20% off certain hotel stays and 10% off food, drink and retail while you\u2019re visiting.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the Silver Pass on either a yearly or monthly membership. The annual membership costs \u00a3169 per person and the monthly costs \u00a310.99 a month with a \u00a339.99 joining fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.merlinannualpass.co.uk\/buy-passes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Buy the Silver Pass from \u00a3169 per person at Merlin Annual Pass<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gold Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now up to 340 days entry, the Gold Pass only excludes a very small number of dates such as Bank Holidays and the long Easter weekend. With this, you can also get free parking at the theme parks and Warwick Castle, plus 20% off food, drink, retail, and hotel stays. There\u2019s also a \u00a35 discount on FastTrack vouchers and a free lanyard and card holder that comes in the post.<\/p>\n<p>The Gold Pass costs \u00a3239 for the year or \u00a315.99 per month with a \u00a349.99 joining fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.merlinannualpass.co.uk\/buy-passes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Buy the Gold Pass from \u00a3239 per person at Merlin Annual Pass<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Platinum Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lastly there\u2019s the Platinum Pass, with absolutely no exclusion dates (aside from Christmas Day). Like the Gold Pass, this membership will get you 20% discounts on all the attraction extras and \u00a35 off FastTrack tickets. In fact, the only significant extras compared to the Gold are a free Coca-Cola Freestyle cup, which comes with a lanyard and two re-fill vouchers, and Share the Fun vouchers, which allows you to get \u00a319 tickets for family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>The Platinum Pass costs each person \u00a3299 a year or \u00a320.99 a month with a \u00a359.99 joining fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.merlinannualpass.co.uk\/buy-passes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Buy the Platinum Pass from \u00a3299 per person at Merlin Annual Pass<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <h2><strong><a id=\"&quot;COST&quot;\"\/>How much is the Merlin Annual Pass?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As we\u2019ve said above, each pass goes up in price starting at \u00a399 and going up to \u00a3299 for the year.
