Via site-wide Love to Visit code

Love to Visit is a website offering discounted prices on entry tickets to thousands of attractions across the UK, and we've blagged an extra 6% off when you go via our special Love to Visit link*.

It includes rarely discounted attractions such as Windsor Castle and Stonehenge, so this deal is particularly good if there are no offers elsewhere. If the link doesn't automatically reduce the price of a ticket, enter the code MSE205WL26 in the 'Have a promo code?' box at checkout.

This is an ongoing offer, and you can book up to 50 tickets per transaction. You can book to go during the week or at the weekend.

Entry tickets to attractions across the country have been reduced over the summer as part of the government's VAT cut on UK attractions – see our analysis on who's passing on the discount.

What attractions are covered?

The additional 6% off can be applied across the whole of Love to Visit's website, except for Merlin attractions (Alton Towers, Legoland etc – see our cheap theme park tickets guide for those).

Here are a selection of attractions, and prices using the deal when we checked on Monday 20 July:

  • Port Lympne Safari Park - Adult ticket £23.69 and child ticket £19.08, normally £36 and £29 direct

  • Tower of London - Adult ticket £34.78 and child ticket £17.39, normally £37 and £18.50 direct

  • Blenheim Palace - Adult ticket £33.73 and child ticket £19.74, normally £35.88 and £21 direct

  • Stonehenge - Adult ticket £22.23 and child ticket £11.11, normally £23.65 and £11.82 direct

  • Windsor Castle - Adult ticket £30.08 and child ticket £15.04, normally £32 and £16 direct

  • Eden Project - Adult ticket £29.20 and child ticket £10.28, normally £31.06 and £10.94 direct

  • Zip World Penrhyn Quarry, Velocity Zip Line - £98.06, normally £104 direct

  • Ninja Warrior Liverpool - £14.05, normally £15.70 direct

  • Paignton Zoo - Adult ticket £24.77 and child ticket £18.56, normally £26.35 and £19.75 direct

Love to Visit may not always be cheapest, even with the discount – it was cheapest for every attraction bar one when we did several spot checks on individual tickets, but we can't check them all. It's a good idea to compare offers elsewhere to make sure you're definitely getting the best deal for the particular attraction you want to visit.

Your group number can determine where you'll find the best deal too – for example, if you're visiting as an even-numbered group, then National Rail's 2for1 days out promotion can work out cheaper for many attractions.

2for1 theme parks and attractions with National Rail

Buy train ticket and pre-book to save. Including Thorpe Park & Kew Gardens

If you register with Days Out Guide and buy a National Rail ticket, you can get 2for1 entry to 250+ UK attractions, including Thorpe Park, Kew Gardens, Chessington World of Adventures, Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor (see the full attractions list). You must pre-book the attraction tickets – on-the-gate purchases are no longer eligible.

You'll need to click on your chosen attraction on the Days Out Guide website and register or login. A 2for1 code will generate onscreen. Copy it, and click through to the attraction's own website and use the code right away to book two tickets online. On arrival at the attraction, you'll need to present these alongside a valid train ticket dated for the same day. Only one discount voucher may be used per two people. You must print your ticket, tickets shown on a phone will not be accepted. 

If you don't present a valid train ticket at the attraction on the day, you'll be required to purchase your second ticket on the gate.

Just stop by the nearest station on your way and pick one up, then present it alongside your pre-booked tickets at the gate. Crucially, your rail ticket must show that you have travelled to one of the stations nearest the attraction. So for Thorpe Park, you need to have a ticket with an end destination of Staines or Chertsey. Details of the nearest station to an attraction can be found on the attraction’s listing page. Travelling to ‘London Terminals’ is acceptable for attractions in London. 

What if I live near the attraction/am travelling by other means?

It's worth doing this even if you are not travelling by train as a cheap single ticket can be available for a couple of quid, far cheaper than the entry ticket price (Legoland Windsor is the most expensive at up to £53).

You can visit multiple attractions on the same day that your rail ticket is valid, so if you're travelling to 'London Terminals', you can go to several attractions in London on the same day.

For savings on travel, see how you can swap Tesco points for discounted Railcards.

MSE Olivia says:

Electronic ticket barriers can sometimes retain your ticket (especially if it's a single), so to make sure you don't lose your proof of travel, ask a member of the station staff at a manned gate to help you through.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
