With increase cost of living, household budgets have had to get tighter! However if you are in receipt of Universal Credit your budget might still be able to include more days out to attractions than you think.

Millions of families who qualify can get discounts and reduced prices for popular family attractions. You will be be asked to show proof of Benefits and photo ID on arrival but tickets can be purchased online.
