Magical Days Out provided 38,336 tickets valued at $1,593,843 to children facing the challenges of serious illness, disability or adversity, their families, and caretakers. Families have a chance to create long-lasting memories and take valuable time out from their stressful daily routine by enjoying a day out at a Merlin Entertainments attraction.
