I was not much of a theme park fan when I was younger, I went to a few smaller ones but I had never been to the big daddy, Alton Towers<\/a>, until recently. Then, due to various circumstances I have been to Alton Towers three times in the last year!<\/p>\n I\u2019m not going to lie, the first time we went as a family in June 2021 it was a bit of a disaster. We turned up without a plan, it was a hot, busy day and we ended up leaving early after going on just a couple of rides. An expensive way to spend a rubbish day out.<\/p>\n We vowed we wouldn\u2019t go back until the kids were older, able to queue more patiently and tall enough to go on more rides. <\/p>\n Since then I have managed to get cheap tickets through my work that were just too good an opportunity to miss, so we\u2019ve been a couple of times in the last few months and I think we\u2019ve finally cracked it!<\/p>\n The last trip to Alton Towers in particular was a great day out, we were helped by the fact that it was quieter than usual, but also for the first time I made a plan and it actually worked!<\/p>\n So this brings me on to my top tips to make the most of your trip to Alton Towers. These hacks come from hard earned experience, and will definitely be how we tackle any future trips. <\/p>\n Obviously if you have young children, CBeebies Land is a must do at Alton Towers. There are lots of rides there and plenty for the whole family to enjoy together. The new Hey Duggee Big Adventure Badge, was a hit on our last trip. It\u2019s a great opportunity for the kids to run around and the adults can take a well earned break. <\/p>\n Other attractions that are suitable for young children, and tested and loved by Finn and Ollie, include The Blade (a pirate ship next to Nemesis), Heave Ho (another pirate ship type ride) and The Runaway Mine Train. These all have height restrictions of 0.9m, you can see the full list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sharkbait Reef by SEALIFE is also perfect for young children and is a nice calm place to wander round if you need a bit of quiet time. <\/p>\n Have you been to Alton Towers?
