Hassled parents struggling to plan fun activities for their kids over the school summer holidays are being offered cut price admission into some of the region’s best attractions – if they go there by public transport.
Centro, the region’s transport authority, has teamed up with seven top destinations to help beat the boredom for youngsters over the long break.
Families travelling by bus,train or Metro using ‘n’network daytripper or ‘n’bus one day tickets can save pounds whilst also avoiding the hassle and expense of driving and parking
Centro is offering discounts on entry to the Black Country Living Museum, Cadbury World, the National SEA LIFE Centre, Dudley Zoological Gardens, Thinktank, IMAX Cinema and the Light House Cinema.
Up to two adults and four children can travel on a family network daytripper for just £9.20 and this will entitle them to a range of savings on the admission price to the various venues.
Two adults and three children travelling on the bus, train or Metro to Cadbury World would, for example, pay £35 for their entry. This compares to the normal admission price of £50, a saving of £15 for a family of five.
Families who would otherwise drive can save even more money by avoiding the additional cost of petrol or parking charges.
Centro Marketing Executive, Rinku Banerjee, said: “Over the summer holidays parents often find it difficult to come up with ways to keep their children entertained.
“These deals give families the opportunity to have a fun day out without the stress of driving or sitting in frustrating traffic jams or having to find and pay for parking and best of all they’ll save money in the process.”
Parents wanting to keep their children entertained at home, can check out Centro’s Letzgogreen website where children can find out about public transport through interactive stories, games and puzzles.
“Our children are the next generation of commuters so it’s a great way to introduce them to the benefits of travelling in an environmentally friendly way.” added Rinku.
“Besides which, going by train, bus or Metro, is often part of the fun for many children.”
