Staffordshire
Boasting over 40 rides and attractions, Alton Towers features the UK's largest theme park based in Staffordshire and offers a fun for the whole family!
Whether you're looking for thrilling rides or family attractions and shows, Alton Towers Resort has it all. With entertainment and adventure at every twist and turn, including record-breaking rides for adults and older kids, and the UK's only CBeebies Land for the younger ones, here's a flavour of what you can expect when you visit.
When it comes to fun for families, CBeebies Land is full of rides, attractions and shows for your little ones to learn, play, and let their imaginations run wild. They'll be able to meet all their favourite CBeebies characters, including collecting their Big Adventure Badge from Hey Duggee, joining Andy's Adventures Dinosaur Dig, visiting JoJo & Gran Gran's house, riding the Go Jetters Vroomster Zoom Ride, seeing the Octonauts on their Rollercoaster Adventure, Hippity Hop with Peter Rabbit, and deliver letters with Postman Pat. Plus, there are specially selected rides, including Gangsta Granny: The Ride.
CBeebies Land also plays host to a number of entertaining shows -they'll be able to rock-a-doodle-do with The Furchester Hotel Live, play along with the Teletubbies for their interactive Big Band Show, prepare for a fun packed day with Bing Live, and uncover clues and search for the mystery DJ with Hey Duggee Live.
And for older kids and adults, there's loads of rides that will test your bravery and have you grinning from ear to ear. For an experience that will test the most fearless visitors, The Curse at Alton Manor - will take you on a twisted journey of hair-raising excitement. Go for a whirl on The Smiler, the world's first 14-loop rollercoaster, or drop-in with Oblivion for even more excitement. Check out the world's most immersive rollercoaster to date with Wicker Man or hold on tight as you ride the Runaway Mine Train. Other iconic rides include Nemesis Reborn, Congo River Rapids, The Blade, Galactica, Thi3teen, Rita and lots more.
And of course, all that fun will have those bellies rumbling. So, with dining options like the Woodcutters Bar & Grill, Rollercoaster Restaurant, Explorers Pizza Pasta Buffet, and The Burger Kitchen and lots of other snacky outlets, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Make it a day out to remember at the UK's largest theme park!
