How to Get a Discount on Theme Park Tickets
22 August, 2024
Family days out are a fantastic way to create memories and have some fun with the people that you cherish the most, but with the cost of travel, the price of admission, and sustenance while you’re there, it can soon add up.
We want every family to enjoy the wonders of a theme park without worrying about breaking the bank, which is why we’ve curated a list of the top ways that you can get discounts on theme park tickets. We’re also sharing the special ways that Oakwood Theme Park has teamed up with partners to offer exclusive discounts you won’t find elsewhere.
Top tips for theme park deals
While not every theme park has teamed up with great partners like Oakwood Theme Park has, most theme parks still have very easy ways that you can save money by simply utilising a couple of easy tips.
Booking your tickets in advance
Booking your tickets in advance can often save you money. In some cases, the further in advance you book, the more money you can save. Most theme parks have a cut-off point of a couple of days before, so don’t leave things until the last minute and find yourself disappointed.
Booking in advance can also allow you to save money on ticketed events or rides within the park. For example, at Oakwood Theme Park, we offer rides on UK’s tallest sky swing; Vertigo £5 cheaper if you book in advance online.

Buy a season or annual pass
If you’re a big fan of theme parks, a season or annual pass can be a great way to save yourself a bit of money while also giving you another excuse to book the day off and jump on a few coasters! Usually, just two or three trips to the theme park are enough to make a season pass worthwhile, with each trip reducing your cost per visit!
In addition, some season or annual passes also offer discounts on food and drink, photos, or other exclusive benefits that are only available to season or annual pass holders.
Save money on theme park tickets at Oakwood Theme Park
While most theme parks offer some form of discount, Oakwood has gone above and beyond to make sure that our patrons get the best possible value for money, giving families, students, and our emergency service heroes a well-deserved deal!
Group booking discount
Maybe it’s a few uni friends reuniting to experience the rush of a theme park, or maybe it’s the extended family gathering for a day of family fun. Whatever the reason for your visit, we’re happy to offer groups of over 15 a discount on their ticket price.
For more info on group bookings, take a look at our group bookings page.
Student discount
We understand that as a student, money can be tight. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and bag yourself a great deal! With a valid student TOTUM card, a valid NUS card, a valid UniDays membership, or a valid college or university-issued card, there are discounts to be had. Coupled with booking a week or more in advance, you can save over a 3rd when compared to a Standard Day Pass booked on the day.
Tesco Clubcard Reward Partner
With the cost of groceries on the rise, it’s nice to get something back on your weekly shop in the form of Tesco Clubcard points, and now you can trade those points in for a Reward Partner code for Oakwood Day Passes.
We’ve teamed up with Tesco to offer shoppers the chance to exchange their Clubcard points for Oakwood Theme Park credit.
For more info, check out Tesco’s info page.
Blue Light Card
As a thank you to those who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe and healthy, we’re proud to offer a discount for Blue Light Card holders. We offer a 10% discount for Blue Light Card holders along with up to five accompanying guests.
Kids Pass
A family day out isn’t much fun if the whole family can’t enjoy it, which is why we’ve partnered with Kids Pass to offer a free Junior Day Pass when purchased with a Standard Day Pass.
Sign up for just £1 and save yourself plenty at Oakwood Theme Park and other retailers too!
Days Out with the Kids
Another option for families is the Days Out with the Kids membership. Kids go free when purchasing a Standard Day Pass. If you want to make use of this deal, sign up for £1 and make use of this great deal.
