Families can snap up two-for-one Alton Towers tickets in time for the school holidays, but you'll need to be quick

School's out, but the idea of keeping the whole family entertained this summer can be knackering (not to mention expensive).

From trips to the seaside to days out at local attractions, food, petrol and ice cream costs can quickly add up.

But before you panic, Merlin Entertainments has dropped an unmissable deal that will save you a lot of dosh and boredom.

For a limited time only, families can buy a two-for-one Alton Towers ticket from £29.75, which gives free entry to a second attraction of your choice.

We're talking the likes of LEGOLAND Windsor, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures or another visit to Alton Towers if it goes down a treat with the kids.

The two-for-one offer also includes access to LEGOLAND Windsor and Thorpe Park (Merlin Entertainments)

As though that isn't enough to persuade you, the ticket also unlocks access to over 40 rides and attractions and includes CBeebies Land, Sharkbait Reef by SEA LIFE and The Gardens.

Up to four children under 90cm can also visit for free.

If you're keen to lock in some activities before boredom strikes, you'll need to hurry as spots are quickly filling up for July 2026.

Iconic Alton Towers rides include The Smiler, Oblivion and the Toxicator (Merlin Entertainments)
