What Is the Merlin Discovery Pass?<\/u><\/h2>\n

The Merlin Discovery Pass is a brand-new weekday & digital only pass which will give you access to all the UK Merlin Attractions & theme parks.\u00a0Passholders\u00a0can pre-book their tickets via the normal portal and will receive\u00a0an\u00a0email to a link for your digital ticket which can be added to iPhone wallet for iPhone users. You can purchase this brand-new pass for only \u00a369 during the Black Friday deal which runs from the 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0November \u2013 18th<\/sup>\u00a0December. After this period the pass will return to its standard price of \u00a389. This pass is limited edition so be sure to grab yours soon as. This pass will be not be offering any discounts across food & drink, merchandise or hotel stays. Any pass purchased up to or on 31st<\/sup>\u00a0December 2020 will be valid until 31st<\/sup>\u00a0December 2021, any purchased pass after this date will be valid for 12 months as normal. This pass allows you access to some of the UK’s best theme\u00a0parks & attractions for over 180 days. However, there are date exclusions which include: school, public holidays & weekends. Please visit the\u00a0Merlin Annual Pass website<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0more details regarding the exclusion dates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who Is This Pass Perfect For?<\/u><\/h2>\n

This pass is perfect for students who have free time during the week but also on a budget. If you work weekend jobs this pass is the one for you too. Parents who work part-time or are looking for things to do during the week with their pre-schoolers will also benefit from this pass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Additional Benefits:<\/u><\/h2>\n

It is a brilliant price for all that\u2019s included and it\u2019s even easier to book online with all your tickets accessible from your phone, which also means you don\u2019t have to worry about remembering or losing your annual pass. Weekdays are often quieter across the attractions & theme parks meaning shorter queues &\u00a0less crowds. Off-peak weekdays are some of our personal favourite days to visit as you can embrace every ride with less time spent in queue lines at the theme parks. You can experience so much more than you would during peak periods across the other attractions.\u00a0I thought I\u2019d also share with you guys 5 of my favourite rides to experience during the week from my own experiences.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wickerman\u00a0\u2013 Alton Towers<\/li>\n
  2. The Swarm \u2013 Thorpe Park<\/li>\n
  3. Haunted House Monster Party \u2013 Legoland Windsor<\/li>\n
  4. Dragons Fury \u2013 Chessington World of Adventures<\/li>\n
  5. The Dragon \u2013 Legoland Windsor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Usually, during the week all of these rides get low queues which means you can really make the most out of your visits and even get a few cheeky re-rides on them. As during peak times & weekends these rides tend to be a lot busier as to be expected. But something I love about experiencing them during weekdays is you can take all of their theming in but also to embrace every part of the ride without worrying about fitting the other rides you wish to experience into your day. I would love to hear what you love to experience during the week in the comments or across our social media channels! \"\"<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Overall:<\/u><\/h2>\n

    I think this pass is a brilliant offer & perfect for the target audience. From personal experience from weekday visits the parks do tend to be much quieter\u00a0than weekends\/peak days. This is also a good entry pass due to the price for those looking to experience the merlin attractions. It is something which allows these attractions to become more accessible to be enjoyed\u00a0by\u00a0more people at an affordable price.<\/p>\n
