Merlin Entertainments says that the pass provides access to a wide range of attractions across the UK throughout the year, making it a potential ”boredom buster” for parents looking for activities for their children during the school holidays.
In the northwest alone, families can visit attractions in Blackpool such as Sea Life, Madame Tussauds, the Blackpool Tower Eye, the Blackpool Tower Dungeon, and the Blackpool Tower Circus, as well as the Sea Life and Legoland Discovery centers in Manchester.

Natalie Mallory, family experiences director at Merlin Entertainments, said: “We understand the challenge of keeping children entertained during the school holidays.
“The Merlin Annual Pass offers a simple and cost-effective solution, providing access to a diverse range of attractions across the UK that cater to all interests and ages.”
Merlin Entertainments suggests that families can make the most of their pass during the half-term break by planning a week-long itinerary that includes visits to different attractions, creating a family adventure challenge, and customizing visits based on children’s interests.
For longer trips, they suggest considering an overnight stay at themed hotels.
