  Half-price entry to Alton Towers, Sealife & more with £1ish soap

  Look for promotional handwash bottles

  Expired

  Update 11.47am Tue 29 Mar: This was a popular deal with MoneySavers last year. Carex has said you can likely still find promotional bottles but cannot confirm which stores – so this is more of a can you find them? It might be worth having a look in discount stores and independent pharmacies as they will most likely have some remaining stock.

  Look for promotional bottles of Carex handwash (£1ish at most supermarkets), to get half-price entry to three attractions – Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures and Sealife Centres and Sanctuaries (normally up to £60ish). This deal is great if you have an uneven number in your party, as it'll work out cheaper than the 2for1 deals.
  

  To get your half-price entry, you must pre-book your tickets online via this special special Carex link and select which attraction you’d like to visit. Once you’ve chosen, you’ll automatically be shown half-price tickets. One promotional bottle gets you one half-price entry, so if you want to use this for multiple tickets, you'll need multiple bottles.

  When you arrive at the attraction, you'll need to show the 'v' code which you can find on the back of the promotional bottle. We're not sure if just taking the sticker will be enough, so it may be best to take the whole bottle with you, if you can, or you may have to pay the on-the-gate price. 

  

  Alton Towers allows you to book half-price tickets for up to four adults, four children and two under-threes in the same booking. Chessington World of Adventure’s lets you book for up to 10 adults, 10 children and two under-threes and Sealife allows you to book up to five adults, five children and two under-threes.

  The voucher's valid until 31 May 2022, so if you buy a bottle now, you'll have a month to use it. There are some date exclusions though. 

  Vouchers from the 2020 promo have been extended till May 2022

  If you still have an unused voucher from when Carex ran this promotion in early 2020, it'll have an end date of 31 May 2021 – but Merlin has confirmed its extended these vouchers to 31 May 2022.

  MSE Jules says:

  If your party is an odd number, you'd be better off choosing this 'Carex half-price entry to attractions' promotion over a 2for1 deal.

  For example, an adult on-the-gate ticket to Alton Towers costs £62. If there are three of you visiting Alton Towers with the Seabrook 2for1 promo, it would cost £41.66 each (£125 in total including the cost of crisps). However, with this Carex half-price offer, it would cost £32 each (£96ish in total incl cost of the Carex bottle).

  Remember, if you choose the Carex promo, each member of your party will need to show their own individual bottle at the gate.

  Alton Towers 'free' grown-ups' ticket via £3ish cereal and snacks

  Look for 'Free Adult Ticket' voucher on selected Kellogg's cereals and snacks

  Expired

  Look for promotional packs of Kellogg's cereal and snacks including Corn Flakes, Coco Pops, Crunchy Nut and Rice Krispie Squares (£2ish-£3ish at most supermarkets), to get a 'Free Adult Ticket' voucher for 29 UK Merlin theme parks and attractions. To get the free ticket, you'll need to purchase a full-price 'on-the-gate' child or adult ticket (normally up to £60ish).

  Kellogg's also says single Nutrigrain and Squares bars are included in the promotion, so the cheapest option would be to buy one of these (less than 70p at most supermarkets). 

  The vouchers can be exchanged for entry at Alton Towers, Legoland, Chessington, Sea Life Centres, Madame Tussauds and more – see the full list of Merlin attractions. 

  This deal can be particularly strong if going with a child, and is valid till June 2023

  Effectively this is a 2for1, as you'll need to buy a full-price adult or child ticket to get the free adult entry. However, this can actually work out better than a 2for1 if you’re going with a child as children's tickets are generally cheaper than adult ones at many attractions, which is the case at Sea Life, Chessington and Madame Tussauds.

  What also makes this deal particularly 'grrreat!' is the voucher's valid until 30 June 2023, so get it now and you've plenty of time to use it. There are some date exclusions per attraction though.

  Of course, if you aren’t going in a pair, it’s worth checking to see what other deals are available. See our round-up of current theme park deals to check which is best for you.

  

  Pre-booking is essential
  

  You'll need to pre-book your tickets in advance via this special Merlin link. Note you'll still need to pay the on-the-gate price for the paid-for ticket. You can do this using the unique 10-digit code printed inside the cereal box. Kellogg's says you must show your original on-pack voucher when you visit. 

  If there's no code (eg, on snack packs such as Rice Krispie Squares, Nutrigrain Bars and Fruit Winders) you'll need to select the 'snack pack' option when booking. Kellogg's says you must show your original on-pack voucher when you visit. 

  MSE Jules says:

  If your party is an odd number, you'd be better off choosing the 'Carex half-price entry to attractions' promotion instead.

  For example, an adult on-the-gate ticket to Alton Towers costs £62. If there are three of you visiting Alton Towers with the Kellogg's promo, it would cost £42.33 each (£127ish in total including cost of cereal) or £32 each (£96 in total including the cost of the three Carex bottles).

  Remember, if you're using the Carex promotion, each member of your party will need to show their own individual bottle at the gate.
