Early bird bookings and sibling discounts

Many attractions and places running activities offer Early Bird discounts if you register before a particular date. Some may also reduce prices for any siblings that attend too.

Check out the Offers tab on our Facebook page to find early bird bookings and discounts.

Max Cards for children with SEND

If you have a child aged 0 to 19 with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) living in Buckinghamshire, you can sign up to the Disabled Children's Register and receive a free Max Card which provides discounts at local and national attractions.

Money-saving information

We have information on Discounts for families and young people from leisure to transport.

Our Money and Benefits information also includes links to local charities and groups that can help with things like food during the school holidays.
