Merlin Theme Parks Unveil 'Twice the Fun' 2-for-1 Ticket Promotion
Theme park enthusiasts across the UK have a compelling reason to celebrate this Easter, as Merlin Entertainment has launched an enticing 'Twice the Fun' ticket offer. This promotion allows visitors to purchase a day ticket for one of Merlin's major theme parks and receive a second entry to another park—or the same one—absolutely free. The deal is designed to provide families with extended entertainment options during the school holidays, helping to alleviate the common complaint of boredom among children.
Participating Parks and Booking Details
The offer is available at four of Merlin's premier UK attractions: Alton Towers Resort, Thorpe Park, LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, and Chessington World of Adventures Resort. To take advantage of this promotion, customers must book their 'Twice the Fun' tickets online before April 19, for visit dates that extend up to May 15. It is crucial to select the specific 'Twice the Fun' ticket option during the booking process to ensure eligibility for the free second entry.
Pricing for these tickets starts from £32 for any individual over 90cm in height, with children under this height admitted free of charge. After purchasing, attendees should retain their original ticket barcode, as it is required to pre-book the complimentary second park visit. Both theme park days must be completed by the May 15 deadline, and visitors need to present their booking confirmation on the day of entry.
Highlights and Attractions at Each Park
For families planning their visits, each park offers unique experiences tailored to different age groups and interests:
- Alton Towers Resort: Recently launched Bluey the Ride: Here Come The Grannies! in CBeebies Land, based on the popular Australian TV series, provides gentle fun for preschoolers. The park also features thrill rides like The Smiler and Nemesis Reborn for older children and teenagers.
- Thorpe Park: Ideal for thrill-seekers, this park added Hyperia in 2024, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster, reaching speeds over 80 mph, making it a top choice for older kids and teens.
- LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort: Offers a family-friendly environment with attractions such as the LEGO Driving School for young children and rollercoasters for older siblings, encouraging creative play with LEGO bricks.

Additional Opportunities for Discounted Days Out
