‌THE FULL NATIONAL LIST INCLUDES PLACES LIKE MUSEUMS, THEME PARKS, ZOOS AND THEATRES WHERE YOU CAN GET IN FOR CHEAP OR EVEN FOR FREE 12:36, 29 May 2025 Family day trips are a fun way to

spend time together with your little ones, but all parents know how quickly the costs of a family day out can escalate. Ticket prices, food, treats, and souvenirs can all add up to make the

cost of a family day trip prohibitively expensive. But for families who are in receipt of Universal Credit or other benefits, there are attractions across the UK that offer discounted ticket

prices to try and help make things more affordable. Across the country there are nearly 100 attractions that offer discounted ticket prices, and a handful are located within a reasonable

driving distance of Liverpool. ‌The full national list includes places like museums, theme parks, zoos, and theatres where you can get in for cheap or even for free if you’re on Universal

Credit or other benefits. Some of these places even let you bring other people with you at a discount, making for an affordable family day out. ‌We rounded up some of the attractions you can

drive to within two hours of the city - including how much tickets cost and who is eligible for them. EUREKA! SCIENCE AND DISCOVER CENTRE TICKETS FOR £3 Eureka! Science and Discovery Centre

recreated, telling the story of their life here. In this time of ‘plain living and high thinking’, the everyday mixed with the extraordinary. It was whilst living here, amongst the hustle

and bustle of daily life, that Wordsworth wrote many of his greatest poems, and his sister Dorothy kept her fascinating Grasmere journal. Persons in receipt of Universal Credit have free

admission, with adult tickets usually priced at £16. Find out more about Universal Credit tickets for Wordsworth Grasmere here. AVIVA STUDIOS TICKETS FOR £10 Opened in 2023, Aviva Studios is
