Spend a day exploring the lake and visit two local attractions | ⚓ Unlimited boats + 🐠 Aquarium + 🚗 Museum 🕑 5 hours +
This discounted ticket combines a beautiful half lake cruise on Windermere with a visit to two top attractions - Lakes Aquarium right next to Lakeside Pier and Lakeland Motor Museum that's a 15 mins drive away. This ticket is great for the whole family and combines stunning views from the water, and a fascinating insight into the heritage and wildlife of the local area. You should allow yourself at least 4 hours to make the most of this combined ticket, but you don't have to visit Lakeland Motor Museum on the same day - its valid for 5 days after your cruise & Aquarium visit.

The Motor Museum entrance is valid for up to 5 days after purchase. |
