If you’ve got kids, you’ll know how expensive days out, eating out, and even cinema trips can be — especially during school holidays. That’s where Kids Pass comes in.


This UK-based membership scheme offers huge discounts on family attractions, restaurants, holidays, and more — all for a low monthly or annual fee. But is it really worth it? And can you actually save money using it?


In this post, I’ll walk you through how Kids Pass works, what kind of deals you get, and how to decide whether it’s a good fit for your family.



🎟️ What is Kids Pass?



Kids Pass is a UK discount membership aimed at families. Once you join, you get access to exclusive offers and deals on:


  • 🦁 Zoo & wildlife parks


  • 🎢 Theme parks


  • 🎬 Cinema tickets


  • 🍝 Restaurant meals


  • 🏖️ UK holidays and short breaks


  • 🚗 Days out like soft play, trampoline parks, aquariums, and more


You can either pay monthly (£3.99) or annually (usually around £39.99), and there’s often a 30-day trial for just £1, which is perfect for school holidays or testing it out.



📱 How Does Kids Pass Work?



  1. Sign up on the Kids Pass website or app


  2. Browse the discounts available in your area


  3. Show the digital pass on your phone at participating venues


  4. For some attractions, you’ll book tickets in advance through the app or website


  5. Enjoy the savings — and the day out!


Everything is digital, so there’s no card to carry. You can use it as many times as you like while your membership is active.

  • 🎬 Discounted cinema tickets (great in holidays!)


  • 📱 Easy-to-use app


  • 🎡 Good range of attractions across the UK

❌ Cons to Consider


  • 📍 Offers vary by location – rural areas may have fewer options


  • ⏰ Some offers require advance booking


  • 🪙 Monthly fee if not cancelled after trial


  • 📆 Not every attraction is included – always check in the app first




📌 Tips for Making the Most of Kids Pass



  • Use the £1 trial during school holidays to maximise value


  • 🎟️ Book in advance where required (especially theme parks)


  • 🔍 Check local deals before you go out — new offers are added often


  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Use it for group outings – discounts apply to the whole family


  • 📲 Download the app – much easier to show tickets on your phone


  • 🛑 Cancel before the trial ends if you’re not continuing monthly




🙋‍♀️ Is Kids Pass Worth It?



For most families — yes, especially if you regularly go on days out or to the cinema.

Even using it just once a month can more than pay for itself. And during summer holidays or half-term? It’s a no-brainer. You can easily save £20–£60 or more on just one weekend of outings.


If you’re more of a homebody or don’t do many paid activities, it might not offer huge value — but for most parents, it’s a brilliant money-saving tool.



✨ Final Thoughts



Kids Pass is a fantastic way for UK families to stretch their budget a little further — especially when it comes to entertainment, holidays, and eating out.


The savings can really add up, and the £1 trial means there’s no risk in giving it a go. Whether it’s getting 40% off your cinema trip or treating the kids to a discounted zoo day, you’re saving while still making memories.


For families looking to enjoy more fun without breaking the bank, Kids Pass is well worth a look.
