Visitors will be able to choose from Chessington World of Adventures, Legoland Windsor Resort, Alton Towers Resort or Thorpe Park.
So if you were to go every day for the three-month period, it means you would be paying less than £1 a day.
There are some exclusion dates which apply to all of the theme parks in the offer.
They include August 24 and 25 and October 18, 25, 26 and 31.
Jordan Middleton, head of Merlin Annual Pass, commented: "A Merlin Annual Pass is the perfect way to access a summer of adventure for families and thrill-seekers alike for a great price.
"With unlimited access to a whole host of exhilarating attractions, a Merlin Annual Pass offers unforgettable memories right on your doorstep.
With the Thorpe Park Thrill Pass, for example, visitors can enjoy three months of access to the attraction - which is home to over 25 rides, including its 'Big 6' coasters.
One of these rollercoasters boasts the title of the UK's tallest, fastest and most weightless rollercoaster - Hyperia.
There are also water rides to enjoy on the hotter days.
At Alton Towers Resort - the UK's largest theme park - there are over 40 rides and attractions for all ages.
Kids can enter Diggerland for free with this trick
There are 10 main rollercoasters, each of which have record-breaking elements too.
For younger children, there are 20 attractions including the only place in the UK where visitors can meet some of CBeebies best-loved characters.
Meanwhile, at Chessington World of Adventures there is a theme park, zoo and Sea Life centre.
The destination boasts over 40 rides and attractions and over 1,000 animals.
And finally, at Legoland Windsor Resort there are over 55 rides and attractions based on Lego and Duplo brands and designed for three to 12-year-olds.
There are approximately 47million Lego bricks throughout the park, with around 20million in Miniland alone.

Alternatively, annual passes are still available, with multiple different options that also have free parking and discounts on food and hotel stays.
In addition, Legoland is even getting a grand new look.
Earlier in June, new images revealed that the entrance gates to the park will undergo an upgrade.
The plans show that two new structures will be built on either side of the Legoland sign - which look like giant Lego bricks.
They will also include Lego characters such as knights and ninjas.
Lego characters such as knights and ninjas are also on the towers.
Other upgrades at the park include a new Brick Street Cafe, improved bag search and ticket areas and crossing.
Plus, The Sun's Veronica Lorraine recently tested all the rollercoasters at Thorpe Park.

'I am Lego man' Black Sabbath immortalised in Lego with pint-sized Prince of Darkness
The iconic legends of Black Sabbath have been immortalised in plastic in new Lego figurines. The creation comes as Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with all his original Black Sabbath bandmates for his final performance on Saturday in what has been labelled as "the greatest heavy metal show ever". The Back To The Beginning show will see the 76-year-old singer deliver his own short set before Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward play together for the first time in 20 years. The all-day event at Villa Park in Birmingham, the city where the heavy rock pioneers formed in 1968, will also feature sets by a host of major metal bands including Metallica, Slayer and Alice In Chains. And as excitement builds across the city, the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre has unveiled a special minifigure of mic-wielding Ozzy, a devilishly-detailed tribute to the city's most famous rockers. Amy Langham, General Manager of LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Birmingham, said: "Black Sabbath are true Birmingham icons, and this felt like the perfect way to honour their final hometown show. "Our Master Model Builders had great fun bringing Ozzy and the band to life in LEGO form - and we hope it strikes a chord with Sabbath fans young and old." Set inside a mini-Villa Park, the venue where Black Sabbath will take their final hometown bow, the brick-built scene stars Ozzy at centre stage. The pint-sized Prince of Darkness is complete with his signature round specs and flowing locks and he is stood alongside his bandmates in front of stained-glass windows. Fans can rock up and see the miniature metal heads from, Tuesday 1st July. The show in July will also see performances by Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Lamb Of God, Anthrax and Mastodon. Other musicians on the line-up include Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan and Slash, Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst, Halestorm's Lzzy Hale and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Anthrax's Frank Bello and Scott Ian, Disturbed's David Draiman, Korn's Jonathan Davis, Faith No More's Mike Bordin, Ghost's Papa V Perpetua, guitarist Jake E Lee, Judas Priest's KK Downing, bassist Rudy Sarzo, guitarist Sammy Hagar, Wolfgang Van Halen, Zakk Wylde and Sleep Token have also been confirmed for the day. Speaking ahead of the event, Ozzy Osbourne said: 'It's my time to go back to the beginning, time for me to give back to the place where I was born. 'How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever.'
