GetOut review

Entry prices start at $109.95, the figure to weigh when a family budgets for a trip. Gift-cards sit alongside those tickets, so the same purchase can cover either admission or a present. The range is attractions and gift-cards, so what you pay covers a single experience or a card rather than a bundle.

The catalogue is built around attractions and gift-cards, and nothing else. That makes it a focused place to buy admission tickets, but it rules out the spa, driving, adventure and food-and-drink days that Jochen Schweizer lists under experience days, spa and driving. Think of it as a ticket desk with gift options attached.

GetOut lists 2,300 experiences, all in the United States. Breadth matters most for travellers who want to pick an activity close to their travel dates rather than settle on one thing well ahead, and a single market keeps every booking on the same domestic footing.

Terms vary by listing, and across the sites compared exchangeable vouchers sit at 85.3% against 14.7% that are not. The help centre on email, chat and help centre is where to confirm the terms for the attraction you have in mind before you pay.

Attraction vouchers across the sites compared run 12 to 39. The exact end date sits on the listing you pick, and the help centre on email, chat and help centre confirms it before you pay.

GetOut is headquartered in the United States and operates in the United States, so its experiences are built around the US. Travellers whose plans extend to Europe would find little to use here, and brands such as Jochen Schweizer or mydays list a wider mix of categories to choose from.

You reach GetOut on email, chat and help centre: email, live chat and a help centre. Chat suits a quick question about a booking, while the help centre covers the detail you may want to read before ordering. A phone line is not among the email, chat and help centre, so anything more involved goes through email.

For a family holiday in the US, size and range are the argument: 2,300 experiences priced from $109.95, covering attractions and gift cards. If part of the group would rather have a spa day or a driving experience, mydays lists those under experience days, spa and driving and may suit them better.

Yes, gift-cards sit alongside attraction tickets in attractions and gift cards, which suits a buyer who does not yet know which attraction the recipient wants. Ticket entries start at $109.95, and the same help routes on email, chat and help centre are there if a card needs explaining.
