Finding ways to keep the kids entertained over half term in the North East can be quite the task, especially now summer is over.

From craft activities to watching a show at your local theatre, there is plenty do to across the region, but it can come at a cost for families.

However, if you are looking for things to do with the young ones throughout the October school holidays that won’t break the bank, you might want to check out Family Pass.

With the pass, you can save money on family days out all year round, including at zoos, theme parks, cinemas, restaurants and more – find out how to via the Family Pass website.

For example, you can save up to 30% off indoor activities and aquariums.

Let’s take a look at how you could spend quality time with the family.

Half Term days out with the family (with a discount)

Head to the cinema to watch a film

If you want to see some of the latest films released in cinemas across the region with the kids such as The Wild Robot, Family Pass offers up to 30% off at some cinemas (including snacks too).

The membership discount website has partnered up with the likes of Cineworld, Odeon, Empire and more.

See animals at a zoo

If your kids are obsessed with lions, tigers and bears, and all the other wonderful animals that roam the planet, there is plenty of fun to be had at the zoo or a safari park.

Did you know families can get up to 40% off at a variety of zoos and safaris with Family Pass?

Enjoy a meal at a restaurant

If your little ones are in the mood for a tasty pizza or burger and you’re not in the mood to cook (or you just want to head out for a change of scenery at meal times), Family Pass also offers discounts at restaurants.

Feast at Sizzling pubs, Hard Rock Café, Bar Burrito and others, while saving some money to put towards more fun things to do over the half term.

Take part in activities outdoors

For the kids bursting to burn off some energy outdoors this half term, why not head out to your nearest Go Ape or Zip World?

These are just a handful of outdoor activities available through Family Pass with up to a 56% discount.
