This year, Alton Towers launched a brand-new way for families with young children to enjoy the UK’s most iconic theme park and it’s budget-friendly, too.

Introducing the Parent and Toddler Annual Pass, a fantastic option for parents, grandparents, and carers with little ones aged 5 and under who want a full year of fun… without the full-price ticket. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is the Parent and Toddler Annual Pass?

The Parent and Toddler Annual Pass gives one adult and one toddler (aged 5 or under and at least 90cm tall) 12 months of off-peak weekday access to Alton Towers Theme Park — for just £59.

It’s an ideal solution for stay-at-home parents, families with flexible midweek schedules, and anyone looking for quieter days out away from the weekend crowds.

Who Can Use It?
