Boundless

See how teacher Dean saved £105 on a family weekend in London

Looking for half-term inspiration? Make more memories this half term with Boundless

When half term rolls around, many teachers and education staff are looking for affordable ways to keep the family entertained. That's where Boundless comes in.

Boundless membership gives eligible education professionals access to incredible attractions, family-friendly days out and money-saving benefits that can help make school holidays go further.

To show what's possible, we followed teacher and dad of two, Dean, on a weekend adventure in London. In just two days, his family enjoyed three fantastic attractions while saving £105, not bad for a membership starting at just £45!

Whether you're planning a day trip, a weekend away or simply looking for activities to fill the school holidays, Dean's story could provide the perfect inspiration.

One membership. Two days in London. More family experiences for less.

Dean wanted a weekend that offered variety for the whole family. Somewhere the children could explore, learn, play and burn off energy, without the cost of multiple attraction tickets quickly adding up.

Using benefits included within his Boundless membership, he planned an itinerary that took his family from the beautiful landscapes of Royal Botanical Kew Gardens to the interactive exhibits of the Museum of Illusions (with Kids Pass), before finishing the weekend surrounded by wildlife at WWT London Wetland Centre.

The result? A packed family weekend with memorable experiences and meaningful savings.

In the far right corner, another man holding the older boy looks tiny by comparison, though the room's angled shape creates the size difference.

Afternoon fun at the Museum of Illusions

After a picnic lunch, the family headed into central London for a completely different experience.

The Museum of Illusions is packed with interactive exhibits, mind-bending rooms and hands-on activities that encourage families to explore together. From optical illusions to immersive experiences, it's the sort of attraction that creates plenty of laughs and memorable family photos.

Boundless member saving

Dean accessed discounted admission through Kids Pass, which is included with Boundless membership.

By booking through Kids Pass, the family saved 15% on their tickets, helping to make the day even more affordable.

Day two: Discover wildlife at WWT London Wetland Centre

The second day of their London adventure offered a slower pace, but no less excitement.

At WWT London Wetland Centre, Dean and his family spent time spotting wildlife, exploring nature trails and discovering wetlands from around the world. It's a great place for families looking to get outdoors and spend quality time together while learning more about the natural environment.

For children, every visit offers something different depending on the season and the wildlife on display.

  • Discounts on family days out
