Does anyone on here have children who are blue peter badge holders? My daughters have just been sent theirs, I was just wondering if they actually get into all the places actually for free or if its a BOGOF/ with full-paying adult type thing?

Thanks in advance!

    According to the CBBC website -

    Blue Peter badge holders can visit over 200 places in the UK for free! Badge Attractions will admit one badge winner (with a badge and badge winners card) when accompanied by a full paying adult.

    I guess there comes a point when you can't use these any more ... I only wonder because I still have my Blue Peter competition winners badges from over 30 years ago :D

    Sorry Tigsteroonie, they expire when you turn 16 lol!

    Do you think a 'full paying adult' includes a merlin pass holder?

    My son has used his at Legoland many times and I've still used vouchers for myself and my daughter with no problems.
