How do the offers work?
On presentation of each persons valid National Rail tickets, a huge range of offers can be redeemed!
Most offers are 2FOR1 entry, valid on full price adult tickets only. In the event of a full price and concessionary admission ticket being purchased together, the cheapest will be deducted, unless otherwise stated. Other offers such as 3FOR2 and 'X% off' may apply. Please read the offer terms carefully.
All offers apply to 'on the door' pricing, unless otherwise stated. These prices will sometimes vary from those displayed on the attractions website. Please see the individual attractions listing for pricing details. There may be occasions that this does not apply. For example, participating restaurants will be offering 2FOR1 Main Courses or similar, in which case prices vary and the cheapest will be deducted.
Conditions apply to specific attractions. Please refer at all times to the individual terms and conditions listed on the website and printed on your vouchers.

For example, if you arrived on Thursday and will return on Sunday, your tickets will be considered valid for the offers on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
All tickets should show that you have travelled to the attraction by train, whether that be ‘London Terminals’ for 2FOR1 London attractions, or the train station nearest to the attraction itself. Tickets that have a destination too far from the attractions location may be denied by attraction staff. Details of the attractions nearest station can be found on the attraction’s listing page.
If you are worried that the ticket barrier will keep your ticket when you exit the station, please ask a member of staff to let you through manually. This will ensure you have retained your tickets in order to redeem 2FOR1 offers at attractions.
