Merlin Entertainments Unveils 'Twice the Fun' Ticket Deal for Easter 2026
Merlin Entertainments has announced an exciting new promotional offer designed to help families enjoy the upcoming Easter holidays without breaking the bank. The limited-time 'Twice the Fun' deal provides significant savings on admissions to some of the UK's most popular theme parks and attractions.
What the 'Twice the Fun' Deal Includes
The innovative ticket offer allows visitors to purchase a single ticket that grants access to two separate theme park visits. This means families can essentially get a second day out for free when they buy their initial ticket during the promotional period.
Participating attractions in this special promotion include:
- Alton Towers Resort with its 40+ rides including the new Bluey attraction in CBeebies Land
- LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort offering full LEGO-themed entertainment
- Chessington World of Adventures Resort combining theme park, zoo and SEA LIFE Aquarium experiences
- Thorpe Park Resort featuring 25+ rides including the "Big 6" coasters and Hyperia, the UK's tallest and fastest rollercoaster
- Shrek's Adventure! London with its special Gingy's Spring Break seasonal takeover
- Various Sea Life attractions across the country
How the Promotion Works
The 'Twice the Fun' deal has specific timing requirements that families need to be aware of to take full advantage of the savings. Tickets must be purchased between March 30 and April 19, 2026, to qualify for the promotion.
Once a ticket is purchased during this window, visitors have until May 15, 2026, to use their second visit. The second visit can be to the same park or any other participating Merlin attraction, providing flexibility for families who want to experience different venues.
Merlin's Statement on the Easter Promotion
A spokesperson for Merlin Entertainments explained the thinking behind the seasonal offer: "Merlin Entertainments is inviting families to make the most of the Easter break with their limited time Twice the Fun offer, alongside egg-cellent seasonal experiences, sweet nostalgia, and adventures that span from skyline views to springtime animals across the UK."
The spokesperson added: "Whether you're planning big coaster moments, family-friendly rides, or an action-packed day with friends, Twice the Fun is the perfect excuse to squeeze more adventure out of spring, without stretching the budget."
Additional Easter Entertainment Options
Beyond the 'Twice the Fun' promotion, Merlin attractions are offering special seasonal experiences throughout the Easter period. Shrek's Adventure! London will host Gingy's Spring Break from March 28 to April 12, featuring everyone's favorite biscuit character in a limited-time seasonal takeover.
This promotion comes as other local attractions are also offering Easter deals, including West Midlands Safari Park's BOGOF spring sale with tickets available for just £16. The timing coincides with numerous Easter events, egg hunts, and family activities planned throughout the Birmingham region and beyond.
The 'Twice the Fun' deal represents a significant opportunity for families looking to maximize their entertainment options during the school holidays while maintaining control over their entertainment budgets. With multiple participating parks and attractions across the UK, the offer provides both variety and value for those planning spring outings.
