...of the October 2007 the Tussauds Annual Pass(TAP) has been replaced by the Merlin Annual Pass.
The Tussauds Group was bought out by the Merlin Entertainments Group - this group includes the Sea-Life Centres, the Dungeons and other parks such as LegoLand. The Tussauds Group has ceased to exist and along with it so has some of the advantages of the TAP. Due to some very poor Customer Service I will not be renewing my Annual Pass. Thank you to all ... ...GREAT VALUE
The Tussauds Group Annual Pass is essentially 52 entrance tickets all stored on one 'credit' card. Unless you can get it at a discount then it's £85 for an individual or £255 for a family of four (a maximum of 2 people over the age of 12) I say at a discount because Tussauds group are touring the country at the moment promoting the fact that Madame Tussauds wax works has had a makeover and that the London Eye will become 2/3rds owned ...

Advantages: 52 entries to Tussauds attractions per year Disadvantages: Could do with Tussauds buying more attractions
...Thorpe Park, Warwick Castle,
Madame Tussauds and several theme Parks in Europe. More recently with The Tussauds Group back in control of the London Eye the pass can now be used once a day for a trip on the Eye.
When used at theme Parks the pass will give 20% discount on food and merchandise owned by the particular park and it allows a 20% discount when booking stays at either the Alton Towers Hotel and Splashlandings Hotel.
The pass allows 52 ...

Advantages: history, voted most popular castle in the UK Disadvantages: cold in the winter, steep steps, expensive
...of the car park.
If you don't want to walk the 10 minutes to the entrance you can park closer to the admission area but it will cost you £5.00.
There is extra parking when it's really busy.
The Castle
On top of the hill we reached the forecourt of the castle with group waiting area, souvenir shop, restaurant and ticket office. With TussaudsGroupannualpasses (or now the new Merlin ones) you slip the card into the reader, take it out and walk through the turnstile and into the landscaped grounds surrounding the actual castle.
So there it was, after bombing up the M40 for almost 2 hours we had arrived. Neither my friends nor I had been before and, strangely, we all had the same thought. "Is this it? I thought it was bigger."
Undeterred we walked along the path towards the entrance, the Gatehouse & Barbican.

Advantages: 'meet & touch' celebrities Disadvantages: expensive, small, crowded, not enough to see
...I first encountered Madame Tussauds Waxwork in London when I was working as a tourist guide many moons ago and had the good fortune (or rather misfortune) to take groups of tourists to this attraction. It's fun the first couple of times but then you start to resent the place with a passion. Luckily the job only lasted a few years but it left me with a bitter taste in my mouth regarding this particular London attraction and no desire to ever set foot into the building again.
In Spring this year when I got another TussaudsGroupannualpass (6 months too late for cheaper renewal) - allowing entry into all Tussauds properties in the UK and abroad - Thorpe Park, Chessington Worlds of Adventure, Alton Towers, Warwick Castle and the London Eye to name but a few - I decided to pick it up in town at Madame Tussauds Waxwork, mainly because...

Advantages: good for thrill seakers, good ride, easy access, central location Disadvantages: built on a hill, food, can be expensive for a family day out
...of good news, for the first time this year, holders of a TussaudsGroupannualpass (for entry into some of the big UK parks as well as other Tussauds properties in the UK and abroad) get FREE entry into PortAventura. It's definitely worth remembering if you have one of those passes.
There are a number of different tickets available, prices are subject to change so next year you might have to pay more or certain combination tickets or special offers are unavailable.
Opening hours are dependant on time of year. The park opens at 10am in the mornings but closes at 8pm in the official low season (some exceptions, check on the day you visit) and during the summer high season it stays open until midnight.
Have fun, enjoy!...
