THE BEST BLACK FRIDAY DEALS FOR FAMILIES
Stretch your money that little bit further with some wallet-saving Black Friday deals your kids will love
Black Friday, eh? What a weird concept. Everybody decides to make stuff cheaper, just because it's a Friday. But in the midst of a cost of living crisis, we're not about to turn our noses up at a bargain, so why not check out the best Black Friday deals for families? Your kids (and your wallet) will thank us for it...
ALTON TOWERS
Kids Stay and Swim Free
There's more to Alton Towers than The Smiler and Nemesis Reborn (though those two are worth the trip on their own). Yep, it's also got a pretty solid offering for younger kids, including CBeebies Land where youngsters can meet Postman Pat and shoot for the stars with the Octonauts, and a waterpark featuring lazy rivers, flume rides and even the Master Blaster watercoaster.
If the waterpark tickles your fancy, Black Friday has come at the right time - book a stay at the Alton Towers Resort and not only do the kids go free, they'll also get free entry to all the aquatic excitement they can handle, plus nine holes on the Extraordinary Golf Course (that's crazy golf to you and me).
You want MORE? Fine, they'll also chuck in free parking and a buffet breakfast.

CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES
20% off 2025 breaks
Time Well Spent devotees will know that we love Chessington's crazy mix of wild rides and wild life - the resort is home to over 1,000 animals including lions, penguins, Western Lowland Gorillas and Rothschild's Giraffes, while also offering up animal-themed rides including Mandrill Mayhem (the world's only Jumanji rollercoaster), Mamba Strike and Croc Drop. The rooms are pretty awesome, too, with crazy themed rooms including Gruffalo Room, Oreo Room, Capri-Sun Room and the Jumanji Room. Why? Cos kids love it, that's why! And you'll love it, too, but you probably won't admit it.
If you're thinking of heading to Chessington World of Adventures in the Spring, you'd better get your skates on and nab this 20% off deal before it runs out. It does what it says on the tin - all the same stuff, but 20% cheaper than normal if you visit between March 22 and May 23.

THORPE PARK
Free Fastrack passes
What do we love? ROLLERCOASTERS! What do we hate? QUEUING FOR ROLLERCOASTERS! Let's be honest, nothing kills the excitement of riding Collosus than spending two hours watching everyone else riding Collosus.
Thorpe Park boasts some of the finest 'coasters in the UK, from the leg-dangling terror of Nemesis Inferno to the UK's only horror themed rollercoaster, SAW, which drops its riders at a beyond vertical angle, which seems a little excessive if we're being completely honest.
Nevertheless, whether you're hoping to watch your toes flapping about over the heads of fellow park goers or begging for mercy as Collosus reaches its peak, you can do it without queuing if you grab a free fastrack pass this Black Friday.
Book an overnight stay in the Shark Cabins and you'll get two full days in the park, a whole day of fastrack entry, free parking, a buffet breakfast and 10% off snacks and merch in the resort shops. Oh, and you'll get an hour of fastrack on day two, so you can revisit the scene of your scariest moments.

LEGOLAND WINDSOR
Get a second day free
You'd have to be a total blockhead to pay full whack for a visit to Legoland in Windsor, when you could bag TWO days in the park for the same price. You'll stay in one of the resort's themed bedrooms - choose between the Woodland Village, Castle Hotel and pirate-themed Resort Hotel, each with separate kids' sleeping areas - and spend your days riding The Dragon or shooting around the Minifigure Speedway.
Your room will include a free treasure hunt and special, LEGO gift for kids, plus you'll enjoy a free hot breakfast before getting early access to the park before the great unwashed are allowed to join you, VIP access for two days!

WARWICK CASTLE
20% off short breaks
Have you ever met a kid who doesn't want to live in a castle? They don't exist! And while we can't promise you can move in for good, you can give your little ones a taster with an overnight stay at this pad that dates back to 1068.
You'll stay in a room fit for a King, naturally, and there'll be themed evening entertainment to match. Spend the day exploring the activities in the castle grounds, which include Zog meet and greets, a Zog children's playground, birds of prey displays and even a chilling tour of the castle dungeons, before retiring to your quarters for a good night's sleep.
Of course, there'll be a cooked breakfast waiting for you when you wake and you'll get free parking and WiFi throughout - something even King Henry II couldn't boast.
