How good is Alton Towers!?
I have been to Alton Towers 5 times already this year and I am going again in a few weeks. I love going there and think it’s a brilliant day out. I can’t complain about the queues, they are fairly short. As far as I have seen though, term time is the quietest. I would strongly recommend an Annual Pass if you are planning to go to the park more than twice in a year. It costs £75 per person, which may sound expensive but it costs £35 to get in otherwise, so once you have been twice it costs about the same. There are lots of good things about the pass, E.G Free parking, 20% off food, drink and merchandise and the cost of a hotel stay and entry time of 9 am instead of 10 am and unlimited access to the park all year round (except in winter when it is shut). Also going online to buy tickets will save you around £6 per ticket and you can get in to the park an hour early. I would strongly recommend Alton Towers for all ages, whether you like big or little rides. There is also plenty to do/see
