Theme Park including CBeebies land. Also a Waterpark and Spa.
“We’ve been to the CBeebies hotel with a 1 and 4 YO and they both loved it! Very well equipped rooms with everything you could think of for little ones. Plenty to do in CBeebies land too, a fair few rides, shows and meet and greets with characters throughout the day. There’s also an aquarium at Alton towers now too which the children enjoyed.”
KF, June 18
“Ours were 2 and 4 and we all loved it! Lots of interactive shows, meeting the characters was magical too. The restaurant was nice, they do family sharers or the little ones can design their own pizza for them to make. We got a pass for splash landings pool and we were pleased we did as it poured it down one day.”

A theme park designed exclusively for the under 10’s. It is highly recommended by many MUMblers as a superb day out for young children and well worth the journey. Seasonal activities including Santa visits in December.
“Perfect age. They can go on almost everything (the new driving “ride” has a height restriction and my 2&4yo were both too small). There are loads of play areas, soft play, little houses and towns all perfect size for little ones. It’s my 2 year olds favourite place!.”
