Tickets can lock the shape of the day

Attraction tickets can be useful, but they can also remove flexibility. Check the practical terms before you build the trip around them.

Check the timing

  • Check opening days and seasonal hours close to travel.
  • Check whether the ticket has timed entry or a fixed window.
  • Check how long you realistically need there.
  • Check whether weather or travel disruption would make the ticket hard to use.

Check the group fit

  • Check age rules, height rules, mobility access and supervision wording.
  • Check whether everyone needs the same ticket type.
  • Check whether pets, pushchairs, bags, food or re-entry are restricted.

Check the money terms

  • Check cancellation, refund and amendment rules.
  • Check booking fees, taxes, extras and delivery method.
  • Check whether a bundle ties you to other trip choices.
