What travellers say

The experience is nothing short of magical. An absolute must-do if you’re a Potterhead, and just as enjoyable even if you’re not. The $10 retail voucher when you purchase via Pelago is an added bonus, so that you can enjoy a refreshing glass of Butterbeer at the end of all that walking.

The e-tickets worked seamlessly, and entry was smooth without long queues. Highly recommend purchasing tickets online for a hassle-free experience!

It is an awesome trip. My kids love it so much. Looking forward to visit this place for the second time. Hope to see more discount from Pelago.
