We have created the following helpful tips and benefits to help ensure your day runs smoothly:

  • Please ensure you check our opening times and dates here prior to booking to ensure you allow enough time for the experience and to avoid disappointment of attraction closure.
  • Most of our facilities are designed to be fully accessible to our disabled guests. You can review our full Accessibility Guide here.
  • Free teacher inspection visits: up to 2 x teachers can look around The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse Blackpool prior to the school visit, this can be arranged by emailing Guestservices.thegruffaloclubhouse@merlinentertainments.biz.
  • Free teacher tickets: we require pupils to be supervised at all times whilst in the attraction and therefore permit 1 x free teacher visit for every 3 pre-schoolers or 5 x primary school pupils.
  • To help with supervision on the day, we also recommend an additional 1 x teacher per every 10-12 pupils and a minimum of 2 teachers per class.
