AS THE October half-term fast approaches<\/strong>, parents will be on the hunt for activities that won't break the bank. <\/p>\n

Luckily enough, there's one clever way families can bag free tickets to some of the UK's best attractions this October. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks to National Rail's Days Out Guide, Brit holidaymakers can get2-for-1 entry at 350 attractions across the UK, which means one ticket is completely free.<\/p>\n

There are hundreds of properties taking part in the promotion, including The London Dungeon, The Blackpool Tower Eye, The ArcelorMittal Orbit, and Warwick Castle.<\/p>\n

In addition to these well-known UK attractions, several top destinations are also running bespoke Halloween events too. <\/p>\n

One of those is the Legoland Discovery Centre\u2019s Brick or Treat: Monster Party in Birmingham. <\/p>\n

Guests will be able to watch a\u00a0Halloween-themed 4D film\u00a0called The Great Monster Chase, and they'll also be tasked with building Lego pumpkins.<\/p>\n

A free ticket to the Legoland attraction will save a full-paying adult \u00a323. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, RHS Wisley in Surrey is hosting a family-friendly autumn trail with pumpkin carving, creepy crawlies, and spooky stories. <\/p>\n

Adult tickets normally cost \u00a316.50 per person.<\/p>\n

Several theme parks are also running Oktoberfest events for older parkgoers that are also included in the 2-for-1 scheme. <\/p>\n

Both Thorpe Park and Alton Towers are hosting their own Oktoberfest celebrations, complete with traditional German food, beer, Bavarian music, and entertainment. <\/p>\n

Other potential days out include Leeds Castle, Madame Tussauds Blackpool, and the Bear Grylls Adventure\u00a0in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

National Rail has partnered with illustrator\u00a0Becky Barnicoat to mark the half-term activities. <\/p>\n

The illustrator has designed a cartoon strip that depicts the magic of train travel in the UK. <\/p>\n

To bag the 2-for-1 tickets, head to the Days Out Guide website and click on "UK Days Out". <\/p>\n

On the website, simply pick the attraction you'd like to visit and download or print, the 2-for-1 voucher. <\/p>\n

To redeem the voucher, guests will need to travel via train to their attraction of choice. <\/p>\n

Vouchers and train tickets will need to be presented to staff at the venue for the half-price entry tickets to be redeemed. <\/p>\n

But the National Rail vouchers aren't the only way families can get reduced – or even free – entry to UK attractions. <\/p>\n

Sun Online Travel recently revealed that it's possible to get free tickets to UK attractions if it rains. <\/p>\n

This is because lots of attractions offer a rainy day guarantee, but visitors will need to check the list of eligible wet weather days provided by the site. <\/p>\n

According to one mum, the little-known trick has saved her family hundreds of pounds. <\/p>\n

Another mum has revealed how she takes her whole family away in October half term every year for just \u00a3100. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, these are the\u00a0best UK attractions\u00a0with free annual pass upgrades.<\/p>\n
