THEME parks have been able to welcome guests back during the pandemic, thanks to new safety procedures and social distancing guidelines.
With staycations on the cards this year, and holidays abroad looking unlikely for many families, theme parks are also offering bargain overnight deals this half term.
Many of the parks have hotels on-site, such as Alton Towers, as well as themed ones, including the Legoland Hotel.
Others have hotels nearby, which are included as part of a deal.
Now is also the time to go, with exciting events planned for the attractions during the half term – below are some of the best deals which include a stay at a hotel and day tickets for the park:
- Chessington World of Adventures half-term breaks – from £21.30pp
- Alton Towers October half-term breaks – from £34pp
- Drayton Manor half-term breaks – from £38.40pp
- Thorpe Park October half-term breaks including Fright Night day tickets – from £42pp
- Paultons Park half-term breaks – from £58.25pp
- Legoland October half-term breaks – from £92pp
Both Thorpe Park and Alton Towers have launched their own versions of Oktoberfest, running until next month, as well as their annual Halloween events.
Alton Towers’ Scarefest is back this year with new attraction Toxic Junkyard while Thorpe Park’s Fright Night is also returning.
Legoland’s Brick or Treat and Paultons Park’s Peppa’s Halloween are also welcoming guests back again next month.
Some events have sadly been cancelled, including the Alton Towers fireworks show, due to social distancing guidelines.
However, guests can still make the most of the quieter theme parks – and you might even face smaller ride queues than ever.
