Taking your little monkeys to the zoo? Up to four children aged 5-15 can travel for just £2 each on Off-Peak services. Even better, kids under five go free, leaving you with a lot more money in your pocket to spend on your day out.
Pack your Railcard
Another way to save money on family outings is with a Family and Friends Railcard. There are plenty of other types of Railcard available too and each one can save you 1/3 on most train journeys.
