Shame about the prices. Way too expensive when you actually think about it. Queues are horrendous unless you pay a fortune for fast pass. And if you are only taking your children and not really going on many rides even worst. But there are good things too. The castle is beautiful ( shame it hasn't been restored yet, if they ever will, it would be an amazing achievement) and the gardens are an incredible refuge from all the chaos around you. Fun paths, quiet ones and almost secret ones. Up and down there's paths everywhere. When you reach the Chinese temple in the lower lake the noise is almost gone. I walked around there for hours while my kids were on the rides. It was so peaceful. Beautiful. The only other downside was that even though there were some security guards walking around once in a while there were still people smoking stuff they shouldn't around there. The smell really ruined it.
First time going here. Will most definitely not be the last time. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The rides are fantastic and comparing them to universal or Disney, they come out just as exciting! Oblivion was jaw dropping, thirteen was unexpectedly amazing, wicker man being a wooden coaster thrashes you around.
Tickets were £38 for each adult when booking in advance, and so was well worth it. The turnstiles were a bit awkward as if you didn't get through in one rotation or it locks, you can't use your ticket again. A friendly member of staff will sort this out for you though.
All in all, a thrilling and brilliant day, book in advance, don't bring bags with you if you can help it (I brought a coat with plenty of pockets), as they are not allowed on rides. Fast track would have helped as the queues on an off peak weekday were still upwards of 30 minutes, so essential on a holiday or weekend.
What an amazing park. The rides are incredibly as well as everything in between (gardens, lakes, meal areas). Although you might get some time to go into a ride, while you're queueing you are already "inside" the ride so anticipation is great. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Really hope I can come back.
I enjoyed myself, but wish the rides lasted longer, because when you are waiting a good 20+ minutes and the rides last less than 2 minutes it does not feel good. Beautiful scenery though, and I did enjoy the rides regardless of the duration. My shoulders were a little sore for a day or two afterwards as I was strapped down tightly but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Staff were very polite and enthusiastic.
If anyone is not sure if they are going to have a great time at this resort, don't!! Alton Towers is amazing for grown ups and kids alike. It s unique setting in the middle of an outstanding Castle and gardens make of Alton one of the most unique theme parks experiences in Europe and maybe the world.
Super recommend!!
Great park for grown ups. High adrenaline rides and fun activities. A day trip is too short time, to completely enjoy the park you will need couple of days as too many rides and too much of crowd. But if it’s your second visit you know what you like and where to go.
Wasn't too busy as out of season and we got a brilliant deal. Lots of entertainment and staff were great. The gangster granny ride had my kids shocked at the end it was brilliant. Their sea life was brilliant too, kids loved it and was free. Bring masks
Great day out, cheap deal on Merlin pass, otherwise very overpriced. Nice walks and attractions. Pays best off weekdays and out of holidays to avoid big queues. Visit of castle should be a must and lovely walks in gardens. Good food options.
