What's On - Events and Activities At Alton Towers
Alton Towers is set up for a full family day out, whether you're visiting for headline coasters, preschool-friendly rides or a mix of both. The park combines major thrill rides with dedicated family areas, indoor attractions and space to break up the day.
Younger children can focus on CBeebies Land, where the attractions are designed for smaller guests and families who want a gentler pace. Older children, teenagers and adults will usually head for the bigger rollercoasters and thrill rides first.
The resort also gives families a few useful slower-paced options between rides, including gardens, indoor attractions and sit-down food stops. That makes it easier to plan around different ages and energy levels.
This is best treated as a full-day visit rather than a short stop. For more local ideas after your visit, see things to do in Alton.
Book ahead, pick your date, and plan for an early start to make the most of the day.
Alton Towers is known for its major rollercoasters and larger-scale thrill attractions. If your group is visiting for the biggest rides first, arriving before 10am helps you get through the entrance and into the park ready for opening.
If you're heading to Alton Towers, don't miss Wicker Man - it's a top-rated thrill ride for teens and grown-ups. Families also love Gangsta Granny, the Skyride, and everything in CBeebies Land, including the brand new Bluey the Ride - the world's first Bluey junior coaster, open now for 2026.
This is not a quick half-day attraction. Between walking distances, queues, ride choice and food breaks, most families should plan for a full day on site.
Swap coasters for water rides: take on the Master Blaster water-coaster, race a friend on Rush ’n’ Rampage, and get drenched in Wacky Waterworks Treehouse (with Little Leak for toddlers). Warm up in the Bubbly Wubbly pool and indoor lagoons; when it’s open, head outside for Flash Floods cascades.
Please note: the Waterpark requires a separate ticket and is not included in standard Alton Towers theme park admission. Waterpark tickets start from £23 and can be booked in advance through Day Out With The Kids.
Note: For big kids and grown-ups, Master Blaster is the headline thrill. Younger families gravitate to Wacky Waterworks and Little Leak; Flash Floods is seasonal/subject to availability
New for 2026, Bluey the Ride is the world's first Bluey junior coaster and one of the most exciting additions to CBeebies Land in years. Climb aboard for a giggle-filled adventure through Bluey's backyard, complete with trees, flowers and playful surprises around every turn.
This is the perfect ride for younger children and Bluey fans of all ages - gentle enough for little ones but packed with enough charm and colour to have the whole family grinning. If you're visiting with preschoolers or early primary-age children, this is the one to head to first.
Bluey the Ride is included in standard theme park admission - no separate ticket needed.
Step into a real-life Minecraft adventure with interactive experiences, hands-on activities, iconic mob encounters, a Baby Mob Trail with an exclusive in-game reward, themed food and drink, and fun for the whole family. Book now and bring the world of Minecraft to life!
