Nine in 10 British families feel they are being priced out of visitor attractions both at home and overseas, according to new research.
A survey of 1,000 British families by MyVoucherCodes found a day out for a family of four costs an average of £222.21 at ticketed attractions.
Nearly half (46%) of families said they will be having only one day out at a paid attraction this summer, 20% will go to two, and 6% to three, but 23% will visit no attractions at all.
On top of the ticket price, families expect to spend an average of £36.80 on petrol and parking, £46 on lunch in the attraction and £32 on snacks and drinks.
The study also looked at price rises at key UK and overseas attractions and found the largest increase has been at Chessington World of Adventures, where the cost of tickets for a family of four has risen 165% since 2008 to £228.
Blackpool Tower has seen the second highest increase, rising from 161% to £120 today, and Thorpe Park saw the third highest increase of 150% to £220.
In Orlando, meanwhile, the cost of a family ticket for Universal Studios has risen by 129% compared to 60% at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
