Are Family Memberships Worth It?
Family days out are a great way to spend quality time together, but when you are regularly looking for things to do with the children, the cost can quickly add up. If you find yourself looking for things to do with the children throughout the year, a family membership could be a more cost effective way to enjoy days out together.
But are family memberships actually worth it? And what should you look for before choosing one?
For families who enjoy regular days out, a family membership can be worth it because it can reduce the cost per visit while providing additional benefits and greater flexibility.
What are the benefits of a family membership?
A family membership gives you more than somewhere to visit. It gives you the freedom to enjoy spontaneous days out without paying full admission every time. Rainy weekends? Free afternoon? School holiday plans? All included in your membership.
Memberships also provide excellent value to families. If you regularly return to the same attraction, paying once for a longer period of access can work out more cost effective than purchasing individual tickets every time.
How much could a family membership save?
The maths is mathing for 360 Play memberships and the savings are BIG!
Visit once a month = £24 x 12 visits = £288 a year.
Visit twice a month = £24 x 24 visits = £576 a year.
Peak Annual Pass = £205 a year!
And the more you visit, the more value you can get from your membership.
Look beyond the admission price
When comparing family memberships, do not just look at how many visits are included.
Some memberships come with additional benefits that can add considerable value throughout the year.
Things worth looking for include:
• Food and drink discounts
• Birthday party discounts
• Sibling membership savings
• Exclusive member offers
• Discounts on special events
• Member only events
• Renewal discounts
• Access to multiple locations
The more of these benefits your family will genuinely use, the more valuable the membership can become.
