Freedom of the Lake, Motor Museum & Aquarium
Explore the lake, motoring heritage and the natural world in one easy ticket.
This discounted ticket combines a day's worth of boat travel on Windermere with a visit to two top attractions at the south of the lake. It's a great day out for the whole family and combines stunning views from the water and a fascinating insight into the heritage and wildlife of the local area.
Please note that the museum is 2 miles from Lakeside Pier and we do not recommend walking to it as there is a dangerous road.
You should allow yourself at least 6 hours to make the most of this combined ticket.
Your ticket includes:
Unlimited travel on board any of our boats for 24 hours including the Red Cruise, Green Cruise, Blue (Islands) Cruise and the Yellow Cruise to Lakeside Pier that's convenient for the Aquarium. This ticket is the most economical way of visiting these attractions by boat if travelling from our Ambleside (Waterhead) Pier.
A visit to the fascinating Lakes Aquarium to discover incredible creatures from otters and diving ducks to piranha and pike. There are events on every day including 'meet the creature' sessions.
A visit to the Lakeland Motor Museum - home to a collection of over 30,000 cars, motorcycles, scooters, cycles and auto memorabilia. Highlights include a Campbell Bluebird exhibition and an Isle of Man TT display. There's something for the whole family with a riverside café, local heritage and period shopping displays.
