Alton Towers Announces Major Change for Families Visiting This Month

The park will stay open until 8pm from May 22 to May 31, giving families more time for rides, shows and evening entertainment.

  • Alton Towers Resort will extend operating hours from 10am until 8pm between May 22 and May 31 for the new Twilight at the Towers event, promising families "even more time" to enjoy attractions.
  • Demand for May half-term visits prompted the change, as The Staffordshire theme park expects thousands of guests to arrive for thrill rides and the latest additions to CBeebies Land.
  • Visitors can access iconic rollercoasters including Nemesis Reborn, The Smiler, Oblivion, and Wicker Man, while younger guests can visit the world's first Bluey ride experience.
  • Single-Day tickets are available from £39, while visitors wanting a longer getaway can book short break packages at themed hotels and lodges starting from £70 per person.
  • This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Alton Towers Hotel, with additional accommodation options including the CBeebies Land Hotel, Splash Landings Hotel, and the Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges.
