Cheap transport and entry to West Midland tourist spots
Transport leaders have joined forces with tourist attractions to offer discounts.
Holiday project Summer Solved is being spearheaded by Transport for West Midlands, part of the West Midlands Combined Authority, WMCA, and supported by some of the region's leisure and education destinations. The project offers discount entry to top attractions for visitors arriving by public transport to visit Thinktank, Dudley Zoological Gardens, National Sea Life Centre, Silver Blades Ice Rink in Solihull, Black Country Living Museum, Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Jump Nation Trampoline Parks.
The scheme also features ideas for free days out, events, competitions and a selection of cycling and walking plans.
Councillor Richard Worrall, chair of WMCA's transport delivery committee, said: "The long summer school break is just beginning and filling all that free time can be a bit of a challenge for families.
"Cutting the costs a bit is always a big help and we know from the success of our previous summer campaigns that linking up with the region's top tourist destinations is a winning combination. This year we have a wider range of offers than ever before. There's a real treasure trove of things to see and do in the West Midlands and I hope this will help people make the most of that.
"By using public transport, families can save money on entrance fees, petrol and parking."
