Top 5 money saving tips for days out
by Liz Walsh from Topdogdays the website for deals & discounts for top visitor attractions.
1.
Loyalty cards
Cut your entrance charges by using popular store loyalty cards to reduce your family spend. If you are tempted by a guided tour around Manchester United's Ground & Museum, simply redeem your Tesco clubcard points for reward tokens & book in advance. For just £4.50 adults/ £3.50 concessions in clubcard vouchers, you can cover your entrance fees.

Glimpse the Corrie Stars
Whilst the Granada Studio tour is no longer running, you can still glimpse the Coronation Street stars as they make their way to and from work. Head towards Great John St, (next to the Museum of Science & Industry), and chance your luck. We bumped into Katherine Kelly, (Becky McDonald), last time we were there!

Fun for Free at Manchester Art Gallery
This interactive gallery is a not-to-be-missed attraction for all the family. You can pick up a free explorer's rucksack, packed with essential items such as a magnifying glass, colourful perspex sheets & drawing equipment to engage younger minds. Join the free family events running most weekends that offers imaginative activities for children, (and adults) of all ages to enjoy. For just a £3 donation towards admission, there's plenty to keep you amused here for quite some time.

Visit at off peak times
Plenty of attractions offer discounted entry to entice you to visit at quieter times. Consider the after 4pm discounted entry offered at Legoland Discovery Centre with online tickets priced at £7.50 per person. With this popular attraction open until 7pm, there is still ample time to enjoy the experience and it may help you beat the queues too!
