Alton Towers is extending its opening hours this May half-term, giving visitors more time to experience the thrills and attractions of the Staffordshire theme park. Starting May 22, the park launches “Twilight at the Towers,” keeping gates open until 8pm daily through May 31. This means you can enjoy rides and entertainment from 10am well into the evening.
Families with younger children will love the new Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!, the world’s first ride based on the beloved CBeebies show. Plus, meet Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli at Big Fun Show Time — a lively lineup of interactive performances featuring CBeebies' most popular characters.
For thrill-seekers, Alton Towers boasts some of the UK’s most iconic adrenaline-pumping rides including Nemesis Reborn, The Smiler, Oblivion, and Wicker Man. Whether you want a full day packed with excitement or a leisurely exploration of the park, the extended hours allow you to make the most of your visit.
