Alton Towers Resort is gearing up for an exhilarating Easter season, introducing fresh attractions and affordable getaway packages that promise fun for the entire family. The renowned theme park and resort has unveiled Easter breaks starting at just £60 per person, alongside day tickets available from £37 when booked online. This spring, visitors can immerse themselves in a world of beloved characters and adrenaline-pumping rides, making it an ideal destination for the school holidays.
New Rides and Themed Accommodations Enhance the Experience
This year, Alton Towers is rolling out several new features to captivate guests. On March 28, 2026, the resort will debut Bluey the Ride: Here Come the Grannies!, marking the world's first Bluey-themed attraction. Additionally, starting March 14, 2026, families can check into the brand-new Hey Duggee Clubhouse rooms, designed to sleep up to five guests and joining existing suites inspired by Bluey, Bing, and the Octonauts. These themed hotels, along with the Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges, offer immersive overnight stays with live entertainment and family-friendly dining options.
For thrill-seekers, the park continues to deliver heart-pounding action with iconic coasters like Wicker Man and Oblivion, as well as junior rides and mysteries such as Th13teen. Younger children can explore the UK's only CBeebies Land, interacting with favourite characters across preschool-friendly attractions. The award-winning Alton After Dark event also returns, extending theme park hours until 8 pm on selected weekends through March.
Affordable Stay Options and Visitor Feedback
Budget-conscious families have multiple accommodation choices. The Stargazing Pods at Alton Towers provide a glamping-style experience, featuring cosy, heated pods with essential amenities like beds and electricity, perfect for those wanting to stay close to the action. Alternatively, deals such as Wowcher's Theme Park Breaks offer options like Gulliver's Valley Resort stays from £139 for a family of four during school holidays.
Visitor reviews on TripAdvisor highlight mixed experiences. Many praise the park, with one five-star review noting, "The trips to Alton Towers are always great... We managed ten rollercoaster rides on the Saturday." Another guest raved about the Stargazing Pods, calling them "really warm, cosy and very clean." However, some visitors expressed concerns about overcrowding, with one stating, "Felt like the park was overbooked in comparison to other years." Despite this, positive feedback often emphasises the friendly staff and high-quality amenities, such as those at Splash Landings Hotel, where guests enjoyed "fabulous" rooms and delicious buffet meals.
With over two million annual visitors, Alton Towers continues to be a top choice for family adventures, blending new attractions with classic favourites to create unforgettable Easter breaks.
