Where to look for Lake Districe offers/dicounts etc?

Hi,
We are going to the lake district to the haven site in a few weeks with the kids (10,13 and 15) and am looking for any discount codes or deal sites for things to do but cant find any . I was thinking like deal monster, groupon or anywhere with discount vouchers

so far I'm thinking go ape , brockhole visitor centre , lake winderemere and possibly the aquarium and train ride

any ideas please, they are good laid back teenagers and like outdoory things like dog walks in the country (we wont have the dogs) but like most are prone to the teenage boredom and tantrums at times so thinking the more occupied we keep them the better haha

thank you in advance x

    May I tag along with this please? We're going to Cockermouth next week and like you I'm looking for discounts.

    Hello
    I live in Cumbria and as a county we are famous for having the countryside for walking and don't have many manmade attractions that attract groupon and other voucher saving forums. There is a programme on channel 4 on Monday at 9pm called Travel Guides. I know it focuses on the 5 families on it but it might be interesting to see where they go in the Lake District. The local paper for the Grange Over Sands area is the Westmorland Gazette which covers Kendal and the surrounding areas and although I don't know if there is a local paper for the Cockermouth area it might be worth a look https://www.cockermouth.org.uk/ which gives ideas for attractions around Cockermouth including Jennings Brewery which dad might like!!
    When are you going to Grange Over Sands as there is the Kendal torchlight festival on 11 September which is usually the day after the Westmorland County Show at Kendal which is driving distance from Grange Over Sands?

    If you pick up a "perfect days out in the south lakes" leaflet you can get discount on go ape and kids go free for Windermere lake Crusiers. Some self catering also have packs with discounts for go ape, Lakeland maize maze, old hall farm and the boats. You can also save money by buying the combined tickets for boats/motor museum/Beatrix potter and the steam railway. Other places like the wild animal park, levels hall and I think Holker are doing kids go free.

    Would also suggest visiting tree top trek / tree top nets at Brockhole nr Ambleside like go ape but slightly cheaper and the kids can go alone as uses a continues belay system.
