Ramsey MHK Anne Craine asked for the figures in a question for written answer in Tynwald this week.
MNH vice-chairman Tony Brown outlined the number of paying visitors, the total number of visitors and the amount taken in entrance fees for ten of the Island’s attractions.
Unsurprisingly, the Laxey Wheel comes top with more than 40,000 visitors, almost 34,000 of whom paid to get in – raising more than ?75,000.
The Old House of Keys in Castletown, by contrast, had fewer than 2,000 paying visitors, earning just ?3,600.
