\n\n

Virgin Experience Days is currently offering up to 50% off their tickets to attractions such as LEGOLAND, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers.<\/p>\n

The cost of living, energy price increases and rising costs more broadly have meant we\u2019ve seen the price of a day out increase over the last few years. Reports last year<\/a> indicated that UK consumers are being a lot more careful about planning days out, as well as being more savvy at searching out a deal.<\/p>\n

The Virgin Experience Days offer is on Merlin, which owns some of the biggest UK attractions including LEGOLAND Windsor and Chessington World of Adventures.<\/p>\n

The offer isn\u2019t across all Merlin attractions but does include some big-name theme parks like Alton Towers, along with the likes of Bear Grylls Adventure, where you can do outdoor activities such as axe throwing or snorkelling. With prices starting at \u00a325 for two people, the saving is a limited-time offer.<\/p>\n

What is the deal?<\/h2>\n

Virgin Experience Days is currently offering discounts across a number of Merlin\u2019s UK attractions including Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and LEGOLAND Windsor.<\/p>\n

The savings vary from 23% to 50% depending on which attraction you\u2019re buying tickets for. The best saving is on Bear Grylls Adventure Axe Throwing, for which you can get 50% off tickets for two people, bringing the price down to \u00a325 (instead of \u00a350).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after tickets for Merlin\u2019s theme parks, two tickets for LEGOLAND, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Chessington will cost you \u00a358 (a \u00a320 saving).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to take a group of you \u2013 or maybe thinking of a family day out \u2013 Virgin Experience Days also has discounts across options for three or four people too.<\/p>\n

The tickets can be redeemed any time from now until November so you don\u2019t need to commit to a date when purchasing.<\/p>\n

When did the deal go live?<\/h2>\n

The sale went live on Virgin Experience Days today (Monday 11th February).<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t expect the offer to be around for very long so we\u2019d recommend booking sooner rather than later to avoid any disappointment.<\/p>\n

Alton Towers is one of the biggest names in the theme park world.

From Friday 15th March, you can ride the infamous Nemesis Reborn in the deserted Phalanx. Plus, everyone\u2019s favourite inexhaustible dog, Bluey, is coming to CBeebies Land this Easter holidays, and there will be the opportunity for meet and greets with the Australian character.<\/p>\n
