Devon has so many brilliant family attractions that you have to visit at least once in your lifetime. But there’s also those worth a second look. Or even a third or a fourth. If you’ve found a place that keeps you wanting more, that’s when annual passes and membership are a no brainer.

I’ve curated a list of the county’s top annual passes and season tickets to help families like yours save money and keep visiting the places you love, from theme parks to zoo days and historic houses to outdoor adventures.

What’s the best value membership or annual pass in Devon?
Value for money is a tricky one, right? A family that loves thrill rides is going to get better value out of a theme park than one that prefers wide open spaces.
In creating this post I’ve also found that no two season tickets are made the same. Some offer straight forward repeat entry for a one off annual fee, while others add lots of nice extras for members. Some are also much bigger days out.
So, the easiest way to give you an overview of the best annual passes in Devon is on price. Here’s how the money stacks up for a bog standard family of two adults and two children aged under 16:
*Key:
£ = up to £100 | ££ = up to £150 | £££ = up to £200 | ££££ = up to £300 | £££££ = up to £400 | ££££££ = more than £400
