Featured Attraction for June - Alton Towers

5 June 2008

With the summer holidays and endless weeks of children needing entertainment why not head for Alton Towers? Admittedly the queues can get very long during busy times, but with it’s beautiful grounds you can stop off for a picnic and you’ll certainly have plenty to do and see for a whole day. However, a tip is to go on a school inset day or training day. That way you’ll find the park much quieter. Whenever you go you’ll find something for everyone; even non thrill seekers!

Getting there early is a must. As I’ve mentioned the queues can get quite long for the more popular rides, so you’ll need a full day to make the most of everything that there is to offer. The park is signposted clearly from the M6 although you’ll find yourself well and truly out in the sticks when you find the park itself. Even I have managed to find it in one go and, therefore, I dare say anyone can!

Alton Towers has all the thrills you’d expect, but they also cater for the littlies too. Visit Old Macdonalds Farmyard and Cred Street to keep the toddlers happy. They also offer facilities such as Parent Queue Share and Free ID bands available on site. You’ll find baby changing facilities throughout the park and there’s even a shop where you can buy anything you may have forgotten such as nappies and even Calpol. Pushchairs are available to hire for the day.

If you want to make a short break of it, why not stay at one of the hotels? When you’ve finished with the theme park there’s the Waterpark and two nine-hole crazy golf course to entertain the family.
