Visiting the Tower of London: Clarifying Companion Ticket Eligibility for Young Children with Additional Needs
If you’re planning a visit to the Tower of London with your young child, you may find yourself navigating the ticketing process, especially if your child has additional needs.
In this case, if your child is under five years old, they are eligible for a free admission ticket. However, many parents wonder if an accompanying adult can receive a disabled companion ticket when their child has a diagnosis and receives Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
The official website may not provide clear guidance on this matter, leading to confusion for families. Generally, free tickets are issued for children under five, but the eligibility for a disabled companion ticket largely depends on the specific criteria established by the attraction.
If your child has a formal diagnosis and receives DLA, it is advisable to contact the Tower of London directly. They can provide the most accurate information and clarify whether a companion ticket is available for your situation.
Thank you for considering this unique and historic site for your family outing!
