Enquire/request : -
Please ask for concessions/reductions for child/adult with special needs and also for disabled helper/carer. Many sport & leisure activities and days out are free for a disabled helper/carer or have a reduction for the person with special needs. Drayton Manor, Sea Life Centre & Legoland have these concessions to name but a few.
Theme parks including Drayton Manor & Legoland have an exit policy for people with special needs. Enquire at customer services and produce written proof of disability i.e. – DLA Entitlement Form/Casbat Report. This will entitle you to get a wristband or hand stamp and you may use the disabled entrance instead of queuing.
