Savings are available on combination tickets on Attractiontickets.com.

Your savings will depend on the number of attractions you visit, but every combination includes a visit to Madame Tussauds and the London Eye.

The offers are valid for combo and trio packages as well as five Merlin London attractions.

The combined ticket for Madame Tussauds and the London Eye currently costs £45 for adults and £40.50 for children, saving you 42% compared to the price at the box office.

You can even add entry to SEA LIFE London Aquarium and save 61 percent.

The reduced trio tickets cost £50 for adults and £44.99 for children.

For the same price, you can also change your third attraction to London Dungeons or DreamWorks: Shrek’s Adventure.

You can also book five attractions with the Merlin’s Magical London Pass, which costs £60 per adult and £54 per child.

This offer represents a saving of 68% and is only £12 per attraction.

You will receive access to Madame Tussauds, London Eye, London Dungeons, SEA LIFE and DreamWorks: Shrek’s Adventure.

And what’s even better: you don’t have to see all the sights at once.

When booking combination tickets, you must select a date and time for your visit to Madame Tussauds.

You then have 90 days from the day of your visit to Madame Tussauds to visit the remaining attractions.

Although your combination ticket is valid at any time and on any day within these 90 days, you must still reserve a seat before your visit.

You will find a booking link on your ticket.

Tickets expire 90 days after your visit to Madame Tussauds, regardless of whether you visit the other attractions.

All AttractionTickets.com offers include a digital gate-ready ticket, so you can also skip the lines.
