The following attractions are a miscellaneous group including farms, zoos, amusement parks,
hands on scientific sites, soft play areas and steam railways.
Where the information includes an indication on opening days, opening times and adult entrance charges,
users should phone the attraction or check the attraction's own web site before making a visit.
Charities such as the National Trust now normally include an extra 10% as a voluntary donation. This is to take advantage
of a tax concession. If the visitor declares they are entitled to give using gift aid the charity can then reclaim
the basic rate of tax on the whole entry fee.
The prices shown do not include this voluntary donation.
