Our Mission
There’s so much to do at Alton Towers Resort… you can escape for days at Britain’s Greatest Escape! As well as the thrills of the UK’s leading Theme Park, the Resort includes five fantastically themed accommodations including the wonderful Alton Towers Hotel, totally tropical Splash Landings hotel, the Enchanted Village, with Woodland Lodges and Luxury Treehouses, mesmerising Stargazing Pods and the UK’s only CBeebies Land Hotel. The story continues with unforgettable live entertainment, a wacky Waterpark and Extraordinary Golf – all located in 500 acres of beautiful Staffordshire countryside.
With over 40 rides and attractions, the Alton Towers Resort is the UK’s Number One theme park - home to an awesome choice of world first rollercoasters that cannot be experienced anywhere else on the planet! Join the chosen ones on Wicker Man, brave Oblivion’s iconic vertical drop, fly through space on Galactica, venture into the Dark Forest aboard TH13TEEN, ride The Smiler’s 14 head spinning loops or satisfy your need for speed on Rita – hold on tight!
For our younger guests, you can meet some of your favourite CBeebies friends in the UK’s only CBeebies Land, a wonderful place for children to explore, learn, play and inspire their imaginations. Climb, slide and bounce your way through Hey Duggee’s Big Adventure Badge, immerse yourself in prehistoric sights in Andy’s Adventures Dinosaur Dig or blast off on the Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure with Captain Barnacles and his crew! You can even travel the world and go on a global adventure on the Go Jetters Vroomster Zoom Ride! There’s so much to see and do, your CBeebies friends can’t wait to meet you all!
