Got a Merlin pass with an offer

Got a Merlin pass with an offer when we booked a nights stay at LEGOLAND. Have used it in London to go to The Shrek Experience and Sealife which were right next to each other.
Great experiences and something we’d never be able to afford to do as a family of 5 without the passes!
Would love to see a few more experiences in the South West of England that we could use our passes for but nice to do a few things in London.

We're delighted the pass has given your family the opportunity to enjoy experiences that might not otherwise have been possible.

We also really appreciate your suggestion about adding more attractions in the South West. We love hearing feedback from our guests.

We hope you continue making lots of magical memories with your Merlin Pass, and we look forward to welcoming you back to London and many more of our attractions in the future!

Investiert Lebenszeit, sonst ist die Enttäuschung gross!

Ihr solltet ein paar stunden eurer Lebenszeit in die recherche investieren um das kleingedruckte zu lesen... Wenn ihr nämlich denkt - ein Merlin-pass gilt für die merlingruppe werdet ihr enttäuscht! Es gibt anscheinend nur 3 im shop, es sind aber gefühlt 50 unterschiedliche, je nachdem wo ihr kauft gilt dieser pass entweder für alle parks und attrKtionen von merlin- oder eben nur da, wo ihr gekauft habt... Fallt nicht darauf rein, so wie ich!

Hi Sven,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!

We're sorry to hear that the pass wasn't what you expected. However, during the purchasing process, our website clearly states that the Merlin Annual Pass provides access to UK attractions only. This information is also included in the Terms and Conditions, which all passholders agree to when purchasing their pass.

While Merlin attractions are available outside of the UK, each country has its own Annual Pass option with its own benefits and participating attractions. However as a UK Gold or Platinum Passholder, you are entitled to discounted entry at selected international Merlin attractions.

If you would like to discuss you Merlin Annual Pass further please contact us on info@merlinnannualpass.co.uk.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Booking could not be more difficult!

Merlin have managed to make the simplest thing hair-pullingly complicated!
To stay at a hotel all you have to do is go to the website and book the hotel. Then go to a different website and get the entry ticket for the passholder and then go to a different website and get the "friends and family" ticket for the non passholder and then go to a different website to get the access card for the passholder. 4 website, 3 payments - batshit crazy and takes forever
You can phone their booking desk but they can only book the hotel
If you are not a passholder you can go to one website, book the room and all the tickets. there is a huge discount for the tickets making it impossible to know if being a member is a saving
It is worth the effort but......

Hi Charles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!

We apologise you feel the process of booking a Short break, along with the park tickets, is not as simple as you feel it should be.

We understand that booking through the Merlin Holiday Club requires you to visit a more than one website. This is because the Merlin Holiday Club is an exclusive benefit for our Gold and Platinum Passholders.

Day tickets are not included with Holiday Club bookings, as most, if not all, guests staying through the Holiday Club already hold a Merlin Annual Pass. Therefore, any passholder tickets will need to be pre-booked through the pre-book portal, as they normally would. Likewise, Family & Friends tickets and Ride access slots should be booked through the usual booking process. 

Your comments are appreciated and we thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Enjoyed the London eye & Shrek

Enjoyed the London eye, lovely clear day could see 360° view. Queuing was not to bad, but stopping everyone to take a photo made it slower. Shrek experience was lovely both for kids and adults. You enter and the queue for a lift but hot waiting. Then you queue again before you get to the experience. Waited about 30 plus to get there. Again things were slowed by picture taking.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit to the London Eye and Shrek's Adventure! It's wonderful to know you loved the views from the London Eye as much as we do.

I'm sorry to hear the queues were a little longer than you expected. On our busier days, some guests like to take their time capturing photos to remember their visit, which can occasionally slow the queue. We really appreciate your patience and your understanding.

We hope to welcome you back to enjoy more of our amazing attractions again soon!

Kind regards,

Cancelled my gold passes

Cancelled my gold passes, had them for 5 years can't seem to get the dates I want now especially with ride access, ride access should be included with the gold pass if you are disabled and not book separately on a different app as most of the time you can't book the same day

Hi Kurt,

We’re sorry to hear that you have made the decision to cancel your Gold Passes due to the availability of Ride Access Pass slots.

Following guest feedback that our busiest and most popular days were reaching capacity too quickly, Ride Access Pass allocations for the 2026 season will now be released three months at a time. We will also continue to offer alternative allocation waves, and we are extending the release window from 24 hours to 48 hours for guests who may have been unable to secure a pre-booking.

We appreciate that it can be frustrating when you’re unable to secure the dates you are hoping for. However, to ensure the process remains as fair as possible for all guests, including day ticket visitors, we’re unable to automatically provide a Ride Access Pass slot.

We will continue working with our teams to help as many guests as possible access Ride Access Pass availability on their preferred dates. The health and safety of our guests remains our highest priority, and we need to ensure the system is managed safely while keeping queue times as manageable as possible for all guests who require additional support.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your understanding as we continue to review and improve the experience for our guests.

Best wishes,

Must do trip for the rollercoaster fanatics!

First time at Alton Towers. It's a great place for the brave. We went on a very hot Friday in July. We knew it would be busy but were date restricted. The park was inundated with school trips (as we expected) which in turn forces your hand to buy a FastTrack pass to make sure you get the best of your day. Even with a FastTrack pass there was a fair amount of queuing. The queue times for the big rides were often over 1 hour with frequent closing of rides which can be frustrating when you have waited a long time.

More shaded areas and water fountains would help on really hot days. The water coming out the fountains is very slow which creates long queues. Park was super clean and the grounds are stunning. All staff we encountered were really helpful and friendly. We didn't stay over at the park hotels as I couldn't justify the price against the reviews.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

It’s great to hear you made your first visit to Alton Towers. We understand that it can be frustrating when queue times are impacted, especially on hot days. Please be assured that our teams work hard to manage queues as effectively as possible and ensure guests have the best experience during their visit.

We also appreciate how disappointing it can be when a ride closes unexpectedly after you have been waiting for a long time. These decisions are never made lightly, but the health and safety of our guests and team members is always our highest priority to ensure everyone can enjoy our attractions safely.

It’s lovely to hear you found the park clean and the grounds well maintained. Our teams work hard to create a welcoming environment for all guests, so they’ll be thrilled to hear your kind comments, and to know that you found them helpful and friendly.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Alton Towers for another fantastic day out in the future.

Annual pass and Merlin attractions

So far this year we’ve been to Thorpe Park and Chessington world of adventure, both have been great. We went to the London eye, the Dungeons and Madam Tussauds two days ago. I am disabled and have used the access pass which in the theme parks is basically a virtual queue so that you can rest before rejoining the real queue. The annual pass is great and a very economical way of doing all of the Merlin attractions.
The only downside was the state of some of the restrooms mostly because some people are mingers but also trying to get the automated hand washing machines in Chessington to work was impossible.

Great way to save money

Never had an annual pass before but since Feb I’ve gone from being an essential pass holder to a Gold pass holder. Loving the freedom of being able to go in parks for however long I like without having the feeling of wasting a day ticket & with the Gold pass the discounts of food/drinks & merchandise is brilliant & the free parking is great too. Plus the discount on hotel stays is great too. Would recommend for anyone who loves the parks.

We're also delighted that you're making the most of the Gold Pass benefits, from discounts on food, drinks and merchandise to free parking and savings on hotel stays.

We can't wait to welcome you back for more amazing adventures and magical memories soon!

I have been trying to purchase Merlin…

I have been trying to purchase Merlin Annual Passes for my family of three through my work's Rewards Gateway scheme for over two weeks now, and the whole experience has been incredibly frustrating.

Initially, the Rewards Gateway link to the Merlin website worked. I was able to select the passes, enter all the pass holder details, upload photos, and complete every step right up until payment. Every single time, however, the website failed when I clicked to pay. I repeated the entire process countless times, wasting a huge amount of time re-entering details and uploading photos.

A few days later, the problem became even worse. Now, whenever I access Merlin through the Rewards Gateway link, I receive the message: "Unable to load data required to view." This has been happening consistently for the past six days.

Rewards Gateway confirmed to me that Merlin is aware of the issue and is working on it. Today I also contacted Merlin directly, and the adviser confirmed the same thing. Unfortunately, they couldn't provide any timeframe for a fix and couldn't help me purchase the passes at the discounted rate because they said it must be done through the Rewards Gateway link.

At this point, I honestly struggle to believe that a genuine technical issue would take over two weeks to resolve, especially when it completely prevents customers from making a purchase. While I have no proof, it does make me wonder whether this is more than just a bug and whether Merlin has deliberately allowed the issue to continue during one of the busiest times of the year to limit the number of discounted annual passes being sold. If that isn't the case, the lack of urgency in resolving the problem certainly gives that impression.

For my family, the difference is almost £100. That saving is the only reason we were planning to buy the annual passes in the first place. Paying full price simply isn't something we can afford right now, so we've missed out entirely.

What makes this even more disappointing is seeing reports from other customers that Merlin has honoured discounted prices or refunded the difference for some employee benefit schemes, while those of us using Rewards Gateway have simply been told to wait indefinitely with no solution and no alternative way to purchase the passes. Whether there is a valid reason for this or not, it feels inconsistent and unfair from a customer's perspective.

Please don't advertise discounted annual passes through employee benefit schemes if customers are unable to buy them when they need them. You've wasted hours of my time with repeated booking attempts, entering the same details over and over again, only to be met with errors every time. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing, and sadly my family has now missed out because we simply cannot afford to pay the extra £100 for the passes.

Hi G Buko,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the difficulties you've encountered while trying to purchase your Merlin Annual Passes through the Rewards Gateway scheme. We appreciate how frustrating and disappointing this has been.

As you've been advised, we are aware of the issue affecting Rewards Gateway customers, and we would like to reassure you that this is a genuine technical issue. Our teams are working as quickly as possible to investigate and resolve the problem so customers can once again purchase their passes without experiencing these errors. At this stage, we do not want to provide a timeframe for resolution as we would not want to set expectations that we may be unable to meet or cause further disappointment. However, please be assured that resolving this issue remains a priority for our teams.

We recognise that these employee benefit schemes can provide significant savings for families, and we understand how disappointing it is when you are unable to access those discounts. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve the issue.

While we appreciate your concerns regarding how other discount schemes may have been handled, we're unable to comment on or match offers that may have been provided in individual cases

Once again we are sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused.

I was tryng to book merlin annual pass through my work portal and due to merlin dumb team the site is currently crashed for every work portal. Customer service team is horrible and no help at all. They are doing descrimination and giving the difference back to blue light card people belongs to NHS. But totally refused to pay other work portals like reward gateways or perks to work. This is highly un professional that one of their colleagues agreed to pay the difference and given that in written to my NHS friend. But playing totally dumb with others and refusing to help at all. For the family of 5 or 6 its like 200 pounds extra to pay for essential pass. Very very unhappy with their behaviour.

Hi Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you felt our Customer Service team were not as helpful as you had expected. We can assure you that our advisors always strive to provide the best possible service and do everything they can to assist our guests. Unfortunately, in this instance, the technical issue is outside of their control.

While we appreciate your concerns regarding how other discount schemes may have been handled, we're unable to comment on or match offers that may have been provided in individual cases

We understand that a Merlin Annual Pass is a significant purchase and that the Blue Light Card discount offers great savings. While we're currently unable to apply these discounts due to the ongoing technical issues, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we work to restore the service.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this situation has caused.

They can take any attractions off whenever they decide to. They removed all of the blackpool attractions off at the same time and made no apology. Not even 1 “bring a friend” ticket. They could take off all the london attractions next and if you have already signed up then theres nothing you can do about it

Hi Kirstie,

Thank you for sharing your feedback! 

I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. We can appreciate the frustration when any changes occur. Attraction availability can change over time in line with our terms and conditions, which all Passholders agree to when joining and although the Blackpool attractions were removed, we will always endeavour to give our Passholders as much notice as possible,,

On 4th June 2025, Blackpool Council announced that two buildings it owned would in future be managed by the Council’s wholly-owned tourism company, Blackpool Tourism Ltd. These arrangements replaced the management by Merlin Entertainments, who had operated the attractions in these buildings on the Council’s behalf since 2010.

We continued to manage and operate the attractions up to and including Thursday 31st July. After that, Blackpool Tourism Ltd commenced management and operation from Friday 1st August. Anyone who took out a new or renewed Merlin Annual Pass or a new Merlin Monthly Membership up to and including 31st July 2025 was also able to access these attractions until 31st December 2025, excluding any applicable restricted or closed dates.

However, we have continued to operate SEA LIFE Blackpool and The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse, in a building leased from Blackpool Council.

Once again we apologise for the way you feel and aprrecaite taking the time to leave feedback.

The food was absolutely terrible, we went to the pizza buffet which used to be similar to the buffet you get at Pizza Hut however they have lowered the quality and changed the drinks from being refillable fizzy drinks like Diet Coke to only being Squash, with no water available. My eldest child couldn't face any of the food and picked arround it where they normally would have eaten a lot more

I have had a pass for a number of years…

I have had a pass for a number of years and moved from discovery pass to gold this year. I enjoy the Merlin parks and other attractions so I get lots of use out of my pass. That said this year I have been very underwhelmed with the theme parks especially. Operations and reliability are appalling and it is only highlighted further when visiting other theme parks who has mastered this. I visited Thorpe Park on a day operations were so poor, people were offered a return ticket - but no refund, apology or perk for Merlin pass holders!

Food is cheap quality and expensive. Also, ride access and fast tracks queues are poorly managed making the whole experience disappointing. It's a difficult balance as I want to support Merlin and the parks but honestly, I'm debating whether to renew my pass based after this year.

Hi Luke,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

I am pleased to hear that you have been a Merlin Annual Pass holder for many years and have enjoyed visiting so many of our attractions, making the most of your membership. However, I am sorry to learn how you have been feeling about your recent experiences.

We appreciate that it can be frustrating when unexpected circumstances result in delays or temporary ride closures. Please be assured that these decisions are never made lightly. The health and safety of our guests is always of the up most priority, and where necessary, we take the appropriate action to ensure everyone remains safe.

We also understand that a day out can be a significant expense, particularly for families, and we recognise that prices have increased over the years. Like many attractions, we regularly review our pricing to reflect the costs of operating our attractions. We also continually review the food and beverage options available across our attractions to ensure there is a range of choices to suit as many guests and budgets as possible, while maintaining the quality our guests expect. This is one of the reasons why discounts at our food and beverage outlets are included with two of our Annual Pass memberships, a benefit that many of our passholders greatly value.

Our teams work hard to manage all queues as effectively as possible, including Ride Access Pass and Fastrack queues, to help provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for all guests. Therefore, I am disappointed to hear that this was not reflected during your recent visits.

We do hope you continue your membership with us for the future and please feel free to call us on  01372 751411 Monday-Friday 9am-4pm to discuss your feedback further.

Extremely good vaule for money!

I received a free Merlin pass when booking a short break at one of their attractions (Chessington.) It has been so easy to use, the booking system is really easy to navigate. On a trip to London recently for half term we visited London Eye (twice, my kids loved it) London Dungeons, Aquarium, Shrek Adventure and Madame Tussauds. All included in the pass, all brilliant! In the summer we are planning on doing Chessington again and Legoland and Alton Towers. What an amazing cost saving! Highly recommend.

Vem som helst får skriva ett omdöme på Trustpilot. Den som skriver ett omdöme äger sitt omdöme och detta innebär att personen i fråga kan redigera eller ta bort sitt omdöme när som helst. Omdömen finns kvar på Trustpilot sålänge omdömeslämnarens konto är aktivt.

Vi skyddar vår plattform med hjälp av dedikerade medarbetare och smart teknologi. Läs mer om hur vi bekämpar falska omdömen.
