Young visitors will love exploring the UK’s only CBeebies Land, where they can meet beloved characters and enjoy vibrant, child-friendly rides. On March 28, the resort will debut the world’s first Bluey ride — Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies! — adding even more charm to the family offerings.
For thrill-seekers, rides like the iconic Wicker Man and the spine-tingling vertical drop of Oblivion deliver unforgettable excitement. The park’s varied coaster lineup, including junior rides and adrenaline-pumping attractions like Th13teen, ensures nonstop action for guests young and old.
Extending your stay is easy with three themed hotels and the enchanting Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges, offering five unique accommodation styles, live evening entertainment, and a host of family-friendly dining options.
A highlight of this year’s resort upgrades is the brand-new Hey Duggee Clubhouse rooms, opening March 14, 2026. These cozy rooms sleep up to five guests and join a stellar collection of suites themed around fan favourites such as Bluey, Bing, and the Octonauts.
Budget-conscious families can opt for the Stargazing Pods—glamping-style pods that provide a warm, comfy, and affordable way to stay near all the park action. Each pod includes essential amenities like heating, electricity, and beds.
Visitors praise Alton Towers on review sites, sharing glowing feedback about the rides, staff, and accommodations. While some guests mention peak-time crowds, many celebrate a memorable, well-organized experience. One family who stayed in the Stargazing Pods described their stay as a “Fab family weekend,” highlighting the cleanliness and comfort of the pods and facilities.
Whether you’re seeking heart-racing coasters, immersive themed stays, or gentle family fun, Alton Towers promises an Easter getaway packed with excitement and magical memories for everyone.
