Pay once, get 12 months worth of use!

Morning all,

Sorry if there's already a post regarding this, but does anyone know of any other day-out venues which are of the one-off payment on entry, and you get 12 months unlimited use out of?

So far we've visited The Deep, Hull (fab day out!)
Magna, Rotherham (amazing - well worth the money!)
Eureka (yet to be visited)

Our kids are DD4 and a half, DS 18months.

Thanks in advance!

    I'm after those attractions that just have the one ticket price, IYSWIM, rather than paying extra for the "Annual pass" -

    Here's Magna's for example:

    "Many Magna Returns
    When you buy a full day pass to Magna you can upgrade to an annual pass free of charge! You simply need to complete your 'Many Magna Returns' (annual pass) form when purchasing tickets at Magna. If you have purchased tickets online then simply complete the annual pass form on the day of your visit to Magna.

    Your pass will allow you and your family members, for whom you have purchased tickets, a further 12 months free entry to Magna.

    You will need to attach passport style photos to your form and bring it with you on every visit. On your first return visit only you will need to bring additional photo ID for the main adult named on the form. "

    So for us, a Family of 3 ticket (youngest child is still free) cost £25.15 - and that's for the entire year! (TBH it was worth that for the day out we had there, and we've still got another 8 months worth of visits!)

    A lot of the attractions in the Google list do appear to do that, though you'll need to plough through them to find which ones.

    Beamish. Excellent day out, but too much for one day, so being able to go back for nothing is a bonus.

    Bletchley Park (near Milton Keynes). There is a guided tour that is quite good. Unfortunately, I missed most of it as my 2-yr old didn't appreciate it! The OH said it was good, tho!

    My parents and OH's parents have bought annual passes for Ironbridge Gorge Museum (near Telford). Huge site with lots of museums. We'll be going there at some point and parents have said it's good.

    Hi
    The link for Beamish is :

    www.beamish.org.uk

    If you click on' Plan a Visit' ( at the top of page, next to' Home' tab )
    Prices & Opening times

    Then scroll to Admission prices, where it states that the tickets are valid for 12 months ( next to the price list )

    Hope this helps!!:)
