Quite a lot of Newquay and Cornwall attractions operate a system where you buy a ticket once and can return as many times as you like, often up to a year.
Below is a list of such attractions, enabling you to spot opportunities at saving money with what are effectively discount vouchers giving you free entry. 
This type of deal is changeable, with sites often changing from year to year, so it’s a starting point when you’re looking for Discount Vouchers and Deals.
The individual offers might change and you need to check them all out for yourself to see current offer/price. Discount vouchers, season tickets, offers and discounts can be hidden away and you might be missing out on repeated return visits simply for not knowing it was available!
The price comparisons below aren’t the full set of choices and options, but are for illustration on the type of discount or free entry you can expect.
- Newquay Zoo: Visit for 7 days for the price of one. On the day of your visit speak to the Front of House team about the seven day return. They will arrange if for you there and then so you can re-visit as many times as you like within a seven day period.
