They're not always what they're cracked up to be...

Soz...

We totted up what we would spend going to see things we wanted to, versus buying one of those, and we actually saved doing it individually! Plus some of those passes have really convoluted rules - things like you have to go and pick up a voucher which then enables you to pick up a ticket for an attraction etc etc.

Saves in some instances, undoubtedly, just not every time...
