WITH the Easter holidays approaching, parents will be pulling their hair out wondering what affordable fun there is to have with the kids.

Especially after the announcement earlier this month that Britain is officially in recession, forcing under-pressure households, particularly those on benefits, to cut back on spending.

But that doesn’t mean you have to stay home with the kids this Easter.

This savvy mom shares her school holiday hacks for parents on her TikTok page @missanderson76 .

The mum-of-one shares this specific hack for parents who receive Universal Credit and other eligible benefits so they can take advantage of discounts to ensure the kids don’t miss out on the fun.

Her latest vacation hack is a trip to ZSL London Zoo for only €3 per child.

While sharing the good news with other parents on her TikTok, she confessed, “Mommy knows best.”

“£3 tickets,” she exclaims. ‘But that’s only if you qualify.

“If not, go with someone who is.”

To qualify for the discounted tickets to ZSL London Zoo, you must be receiving low income benefits such as Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance.

Tickets must be reserved in advance via ZSL website in advance and proof of benefit must be presented upon arrival.

The general admission price for a child to visit London Zoo is usually £23.10 and a whopping £33 for each adult.

But with this reduced rate, a family of four can enjoy a trip to the zoo for less than £20 this Easter.

A ticket for adults costs €5 and for a child only €3.

The best part is that ZSL isn’t the only place you can get the deal.

Other attractions that offer a reduced rate for low-income families include the The tower of London offering tickets for a family of six for just £1 each.

And many museums also offer similar savings.

Did you know that you can get unlimited access to the London Transport Museum for a whole year, for just £1, if you receive Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit or Employment and Support Allowance?

This clever mom’s followers were thrilled with the hacks they never knew about.

Someone commented: “Brilliant savings.”

Another said: “Thank you so much. It’s time they started doing this, not everyone can pay £50 each just to see the animals.”
