From 31 January 2024, all NEW Pass holders will need to purchase a pass for anybody in their group who is over 90 cm but for our existing pass holders, children under 3 years old within your group will have a grace period until 31 December 2024. This will allow free entry to MAP-participating UK attractions, as per our current T&Cs, even if they grow to over 90 cm in that time.
During the grace period, and in line with our existing policies, children under 3 years old will need to be accompanied by a valid pass holder adult to gain free entry to our attractions, alongside presenting a free under 3's pre-book ticket, bookable in the pass holder pre-book portal.
Please note from 1st January 2025, all guests over 90 cm will need to purchase a Merlin Annual Pass or paid entry ticket in order to gain entry to our attractions with their pass holder group. Guests under 90 cm visiting as part of a group will need to book a free under 90 cm ticket via the pass holder pre-book Portal.
