FAMILIES wanting to visit museums, beaches and national parks can enjoy days out for less as free bus travel for kids has come into force. There are thousands of brilliant attractions families can save money on this summer, such as theme parks, castles and hidden gems like wildlife watching in the Lakes. Families will be able to save on thousands of routes across England on operators such as First Bus, Stagecoach and Go-Ahead. “With free bus travel for five to 15 year olds and discounts on kids’ meals at restaurants, cinema tickets and theme parks, we’re helping people make the most of the time they have together for the school holidays. Child fares typically cost between £1 and £2; however, this summer five to 15 year olds will be able to travel for free on most local buses.
