Alton Towers Resort has been a world-renowned haven of fun and adventure for almost 200 years! Despite what you may think, the castle-like structure in the heart of the theme park isn't fake and isn't a castle - It's 100% authentic and was once the stately home of a wealthy family. Alton Towers Resort is home to over 40 rides and attractions, for guests of all ages.. Our 10 main rollercoasters are the stars of the show, each with record-breaking elements designed to thrill and delight anyone brave enough to ride. With 20 attractions aimed at young children and families, Alton Towers is the only place in the UK where you can meet some of CBeebies best loved characters.
