    shame kids aren't covered with the pass

    I, like others, didn't read the terms and conditions when I applied, and got DD one (8).

    We went to Blists Hill today (Telford) We explained we had three cards and that OH and I would be free, but we thought we'd have to pay for DD. The assistant behind the till went to ask supervisor who said, as we had enough cards to cover us, DD would be free. :j We just signed in and off we went. We've had a brilliant day and it didn't cost a penny. :D


    It's great for kids if you're in the area - plenty to do and it's great fun.


    We saved £15 each adult and £10 for DD = £40 :D

    When did you order it? It takes around 10 working days to arrive so you need to allow for Bank Holidays.

    I ordered mine in the evening on 19 May and got it in the post this morning.

    It may be too early to give up hope just yet.

    There is hope then - I ordered mine on 18th!

    If I'm not mistaken, to get into Kew Palace you have to pay the Kew Gardens entrance.

    Wish I'd seen your message before I went Catfish50! I thought we'd made a wasted train journey as I wasn't about to pay that much for the gardens - but a short hop on the bus took us to Chiswick House which was really lovely and had very pretty gardens too so the afternoon was saved!

    Thanks OP great offer!

    Does anyone know how it works with the National Museum of the Royal Navy as it is listed as free entry but you can only get to it if you pay £19.50 for the Portsmouth dockyard pass which covers all the attractions in the dockyard? Can you get in the dockyard free to get to the musuem? Thanks in advance.
    You can actually walk around the historic dockyard without any ticket at all.

    The pass will get you in to the National Museum of the Royal Navy no problems (we went last week and used ours). The museum is spread across three old boat house buildings. You can pick up a free map at the ticket desk near the entrance but the museum is easy to find - the last three brick boat house buildings on the left after you enter (last of which is next to The Victory).

    Normally a ticket to the museum will be valid for the Victory too but with the Art Pass sadly not. No need for a ticket just show your pass on entry at each of the building.
