Save up to 50% off huge UK attractions such as Legoland, Alton Towers and Bear Grylls Adventure
Virgin Experience Days has just cut the price of its tickets for some of the most popular UK theme parks from Merlin.
Virgin Experience Days is currently offering up to 50% off their tickets to attractions such as LEGOLAND, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers.
The cost of living, energy price increases and rising costs more broadly have meant we've seen the price of a day out increase over the last few years. Reports last year 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.
The Virgin Experience Days offer is on Merlin, which owns some of the biggest UK attractions including LEGOLAND Windsor and Chessington World of Adventures.
The offer isn't 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 £25 for two people, the saving is a limited-time offer.

What is the deal?
Virgin Experience Days is currently offering discounts across a number of Merlin's UK attractions including Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and LEGOLAND Windsor.
The savings vary from 23% to 50% depending on which attraction you're 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 £25 (instead of £50).
If you're after tickets for Merlin's theme parks, two tickets for LEGOLAND, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Chessington will cost you £58 (a £20 saving).
If you're looking to take a group of you – or maybe thinking of a family day out – Virgin Experience Days also has discounts across options for three or four people too.
The tickets can be redeemed any time from now until November so you don't need to commit to a date when purchasing.

When did the deal go live?
The sale went live on Virgin Experience Days today (Monday 11th February).
We don't expect the offer to be around for very long so we'd recommend booking sooner rather than later to avoid any disappointment.
Which UK Merlin attractions are discounted in the Virgin Experience Days offer?
Alton Towers
Alton Towers is one of the biggest names in the theme park world. The Staffordshire amusement park is home to over 40 rides, including The Smiler with 14 jaw-dropping loops, Oblivion with its iconic vertical drop, and Wicker Man which looks as terrifying as it is, and 10-themed areas like The World of David Walliams for youngsters.
The theme park doesn’t rest on its laurels, however, as it’s constantly introducing new rides and attractions which are suitable for children of all ages. From Friday 15th March, you can ride the infamous Nemesis Reborn in the deserted Phalanx. Plus, everyone’s 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.

Chessington World of Adventures
The British weather can be unpredictable to say the least, so when planning ahead for the Easter holidays, it’s important to select somewhere with both indoor and outdoor activities. Luckily, Chessington World of Adventures caters to both!
Located an hour outside of London, in between Epsom and Weybridge, the amusement park has over 40 rollercoasters, including Dragon’s Fury, Rattlesnake and Vampire, as well as water rides such as Tiger Rock and the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure (see what we mean about planning for all weathers?), plus a zoo with over 1,000 animals. You might have heard about the World of Jumanji, too, which has exciting rides like Mandrill Mayhem and Ostrich Stampede.

Thorpe Park
When selecting an activity for the whole family, it can be difficult to find something that both adults and children enjoy; this Digital Writer’s dad said that he used to like watching SpongeBob SquarePants with them and their sister as the cartoon had jokes for kids but also an adult sense of humour, too. So, with the aim of finding you your ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ activity, we present to you: Thorpe Park.
Thorpe Park has over 30 hair-raising rides, including Stealth and Colossus, which are sure to appeal to adults and fearless teenagers. Plus, there are plenty of attractions for little ones, too, like the Angry Birds 4D Experience, Flying Fish rollercoaster, Storm Surge and Tidal Wave.
