Entrance Fees

If you are taking your family for a day out to a zoo, museum, or exhibiton etc., do check to see if there are special concessions on the entrance fees. Many places not only have a reduced fee for disabled people, but allow one - sometimes two - carers in for free.

If you can, look it up on the internet first but don't be afraid to ask at the ticket desk - they can only say no! In the past we have saved ourselves £19 getting into a Da Vinci exhibition completely free; also at most zoos/wildlife attractions a carer will get in for free. This even applies abroad - just don't be afraid to ask!
