The Max Card: Leisure & Discounts

The Max Card is a specialized discount card designed to help families with accessibility needs visit a wide range of leisure and recreation facilities across the UK at a lower cost.

What is a Max Card?

This discount card is recognized by over 1,000 participating venues including attractions, cinemas, and restaurants. It is specifically available to families with children or young adults up to the age of 25 who have a disability or additional needs.

Key Benefits: The card is often provided free of charge through local authorities or charities. It allows families to save money while exploring new hobbies and interests together.

How it Works

Once you receive your card in the post, you can present it at participating venues to receive discounted entry or other concessions. This promotes social, emotional, and physical development by making it easier for children to try new things in a supportive environment.

Where can I use it?

The Max Card is accepted at over 1,000 venues across the UK. This includes major attractions such as LEGOLAND and SEA LIFE centers. It also covers a variety of local cinemas and restaurants. Through the Max Card International Scheme, the card can even be used at certain participating venues outside of the UK.
