Days Out Vouchers~Any Good?

[Mr Veritas]

I have just downloaded vouchers for two London attractions from the Days Out website.These vouchers give you 2 for 1 admission,at many London attractions,providing they are backed up by a valid return rail ticket.
I just wondered if any ABer had use these vouchers,and if everything went OK,or if they had any problems,as I have not used them before.
Thanks,
Alec.

We used that a couple of weeks ago for the London aquarium.There was no problem getting in but we did have to show the voucher that we printed off when booking the train tickets rather than the tickets themselves. I'm glad we did by the way otherwise the aquarium would have been way overpriced - bit of a disappointment if I'm honest.

[Mr Veritas]

Thanks Prudie,
One of the vouchers IS for the Aquarium.
What was disappointing about it? I get the feeling that it is not that big?

[Prudie]

Yes I think it was the size. When we thought it was only about half way through it was in fact the end! There is one really large tank that you walk through which is good and a large one with sharks but other than that it's a just small dingy tanks. We just had expected to see a lot more. We also went ona Sunday morning and it was packed, especially with people with pushchairs!

[Mr Veritas]

I might give it a miss then Prudie!
Shame as we are going (later in the day) to the IMAX at Waterloo and it would have been a convenient "filler up" place to go.
Never mind,there are many more vouchers on the Days Out site,so I shall go and choose another.
Thanks again.

I reckon these vouchers work just fine - it is not a 'con'.
If you think about it, the cost of running this sort of attraction is pretty-much fixed costs, so anything the owners can do to get more punters through the door during the low-season is OK for them. The way they choose to do this is to create pricing differentiation by these 2-for-1 offers for those punters on a tighter budget who are willing to go to a bit of trouble to search out the deals. It creates a demand when such demand would not exist at all if they didn't do it.

The Aquarium is ok if you use the 2 for 1... total rip off if you pay full price tho!
