We need to cater for a lot of cars everyday at Alton Towers Resort. Therefore, we can’t provide separate car parking for Pass holders.
All our Annual Passes are valid from the date of issue for 12 months.
We’re always looking for ways to give our guests the best possible value, flexibility, and experiences. As part of this commitment, we regularly review our Annual Pass products to make sure we continue to offer the very best value and benefits.
We're excited to let you know that from 18th November 2025, we’ll be introducing a brand-new Alton Towers Annual Pass! As a result of this update, we’ll no longer be selling Parent & Toddler, Silver or Gold Alton Towers Annual Passes.
As a valued Passholder, you can continue to enjoy all the benefits of your existing product promised to you at time of purchased until your Pass expires. And when it's time to renew, we hope you'll choose to transition to the new Annual Pass to unlock a year of amazing days out for one great price!
No, your current Pass will continue to work exactly as normal until it expires, with all the same benefits you signed up for at the time of purchase.
After that date, you’ll no longer be able to renew or purchase a new Parent & Toddler, Silver or Gold Local Annual Pass , but you’ll have several great alternatives to choose from, including our brand NEW Alton Towers Resort Annual Pass – or even a Merlin Annual Pass.
As always, should any changes apply to your existing product in the future we will be in touch with at least 30 days’ notice to let you know, per our agreement with you made at time of purchase.
We can confirm that from 18th November 2025 onwards, the following exclusion dates apply:
2026
14th, 15th February 2026
5th, 6th April 2026
