Introducing The Merlin Discovery Pass

The season may be over, but we’re just getting started at Merlin Annual Pass!

Since we removed our passes from sale earlier in the year, we’ve been working away behind the scenes to enhance our range of passes to ensure we’re providing both magical days out and the very best value for money for you our Passholders. Back in September, we asked for your opinion on Merlin Annual Pass and your experience as a Passholder, and we’re excited to announce that your feedback was incredibly useful in helping us shape the future of the Merlin Annual Pass line-up!

So, without further ado we’d like to introduce you to the first of three new passes… The Merlin Discovery Pass – the lowest price Merlin Annual Pass EVER!

What is the Merlin Discovery Pass?

The Merlin Discovery Pass is a weekday passport to our magical Merlin attractions during term time! This weekday pass unlocks over 180 days access to the UK’s biggest and best attractions for the smallest price.

Unlike with other passes, Merlin Discovery Pass is a digital pass meaning you won’t need to worry about forgetting your Annual Pass cards when leaving the house! Instead, tickets will be emailed directly to your inbox where you can simply add them your Apple wallet, or just save the e-mail containing your ticket if you’re not an Apple user.

Then dive in and take advantage of Britain’s most exciting and exhilarating experiences during the periods that the attractions receive their lowest crowds! With the Merlin Discovery Pass, you’ll enjoy all the fun and adventure you’d expect from a Merlin Annual Pass but at a price you wouldn’t! You can find a full list of the pass exclusion dates here.

Is the Merlin Discovery Pass the right pass for me?

If you’re someone who is happy to forgo the bells and whistles, such as extra discounts and access on the busiest days, this weekday-only pass could be the right choice for you! Perhaps you’re a parent with a young child to keep entertained, a student who has a free weekday to fill with your friends, or a freelancer who fancies taking on your next big rollercoaster on your day off – this pass could be ideal for you!
