Blenheim Palace | The Priciest Castle Amusement Park

It's incredibly beautiful and has an extraordinary ability to generate income. That's Blenheim Palace for you. This year, the palace has opened a new outdoor adventure playground, which follows a natural wooden style, but when it comes to making money, it feels like a concrete and steel approach. It seems a bit excessive for a charity. 💰 Spending hundreds of pounds for a dose of childhood joy Palace admission is £35, and children's tickets are £20. The playground requires a separate ticket, which is £7 per person for a 3-hour time limit. It's not just more expensive than Legoland, but compared to other castles, the fact that the playground ticket isn't included is quite surprising. What's more, it used to be free; now, after a renovation, it's all about making money 🙃. It's exactly the same as a certain new park playground that opened around London this year. Considering the travel costs, the train or fuel expenses from London are tens of pounds. If you think it's too far and decide to stay overnight, you must add another hundred. The palace offers an annual pass, which requires payment only once. We got it on a buy-one-get-one-free deal at the beginning of the year; if you're not in a hurry, you can wait, as there are usually promotions every year. If you go by public transportation, you get a 30% discount on the palace admission. Until October 20th, with the purchase of an annual pass for the palace, you get a free playground ticket. I guess they received feedback from parents... but it's only for one visit. 🎃 This weekend's autumn festival Because it's really expensive, and if you live far away, you definitely won't go often, so you have to catch some events to make the price worthwhile 😂 It's an autumn festival perfect for taking kids, where you can expect various 🎃 decorations. It was great in spring, and it will only be more beautiful in autumn. There are plenty of free parent-child activities and performances. Face painting was only £2 before. A small train ride for £1, passing through the woods and the palace, just like in a fairy tale. In fact, apart from the tickets, everything else is not expensive, it's just that the total cost is hard to control. The butterfly house is open for a limited time. The maze is loved by both young and old. 📝 The palace is so large that choosing the right entrance and exit is crucial. It's essential to have a stroller or scooter when bringing young children; otherwise, you'll suffer. The playground's café only offers drinks and snacks and desserts. For a full meal, you need to go to the garden. #UKFamilyOuting #AmusementPark #UKParentChildTravel #UKParentChildParadise #BlenheimPalace #UKCastle #LondonFamilyOuting #LondonDayTrip #LondonKidsOuting #Children'sParadise
