    How on earth are we Welshies supposed to get these passes? Nearest attractions are 100 miles away. We go to sealife, legoland etc when visiting relatives. Do I really have to drive 200 miles+ for a pass? :(

    Do you have any relatives who live near a sea life? Just wondering if they could buy the gift vouchers and post them to you?

    You can get them from Gweek seal sanctuary over the phone, at least you could last year and a nice man phoned me up from there last week to see if I wanted to buy more this year. They have the advantage of being gift vouchers and the Merlin Passes don't start until they are activated at one of the venues.

    Can you get gift vouchers for the pass at any Merlin attraction, or just SeaLife?

    Am considering getting family passes, but not activating until August - 2 seasons access for the price of 1. I figure March - March, you'd be bored by the summer, but August to August, you could finish off one year, give it a break as they all close, then start again the next year.

    Not too sure if you can get gift vouchers at all sealife centres. But they are only valid for 6 months from issue. So, if you got it now it would be valid until mid July.
