Hiya
How much are spectator tickets? Can me and a couple of friends take our 11yr old kids, and not swim, without payin unreasonably?
Hi Elizabeth, Alton Towers waterpark have strict adult to child ratios that includes the following; Children aged 8 – 11 must be accompanied inside the Waterpark by a responsible adult (aged 16+). Children aged 12 or over can be unaccompanied, hope this helps, Liz
Hi Can you use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay for the water park please?
Hi Kerrion, unfortunately you cannot use Tesco clubcard vouchers for the Alton Towers water park, only at the theme park. The same goes for 2 for 1 vouchers that are only valid at the theme park. Much more difficult to secure discounts at the waterpark. Merlin passholder can gain a 20% discount, parent & toddler sessions offer another good option but might not be relevant. Liz
2 for 1 Alton towers water park please.
Hi Wesley, unfortunately the 2 for 1 vouchers widely available for Alton Towers Theme Park do not cover entry to the Splash Landings water park. In previous years we’ve come across an attractive come back deal for those planning to visit both the theme park & water park, (during the theme park operational times) that can be worth looking out for. Alternatively we’ve seen passholder discounts & toddler deals that can offer savings? Hope this helps, Liz
Hey!
We’re stopping at Splash Landings 21-22nd Aug as a surprise for my daughter’s 14th b’day. I’ve booked a room but am struggling to find reasonably priced tickets for the water park! Can you help or advise please?
Many thanks in advance xx
Hi Miriam, as you are staying at the Alton Towers Resort, worth checking to see if they have any current waterpark offers running for hotel guests. Unfortunately you tend not to see too many offers for the waterpark and 2 for 1 vouchers for Alton Towers theme park cannot be used at the waterpark. There are online discounts if you book online & passholder discounts for those in receipt of a Merlin Pass.
Hi
We are staying at Splash Landings on the 10th September and would like to use the water park. There are 2 adults and 2 children. Are there any discounts available for the water park when staying at splash landings? Thanks
Hi, it’s always worth an ask as I know they can offer cheaper tickets at select times of the year. Are you visiting the theme park too? Previously their come back deal has included cheaper second day tickets for the waterpark so worth an ask at the box office within the theme park to see if this is running again during 2016. Alternatively booking online will secure a small discount.
Hi
Thanks for replying yes we are visiting the theme park to on the second day of our visit. I will look into your suggestions thanks again x
Hi
We are planning to visit you on thursday 2nd June 2016… There is 2 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 6…. Could you please tell me of any offers you have or do i just have to pay the online price..?
Thanks
Hi Helen, topdogdays in independent of Alton Towers Waterpark, (we just let you know where the deals are) but unfortunately we never come across many deals for the waterpark. The standard 2 for 1 vouchers for merlin attractions don’t cover the water park. Passholders can pick up a 20% discount when booked in advance. Those staying at the hotel can often pick up a discounted package. Are you planning a trip to the theme park too? Last year they were running a comeback deal from the theme park for the waterpark but you’d need to see if that is running this year. Other than that it’s the online discount is all I cañ see. Have a good trip:)
hi guys
we are coming for 2 day park stay this weekend ,we have 2 people in group needing carers can they use dla letters for entry? do you also have 2for 1 vouchers for swimming ,we are bringing 2 busloads for park entry about 30 want to come swimming.
thanks joyce
Hi Joyce, unfortunately the 2 for 1 vouchers are not valid at Alton Towers Waterpark:( Previously Alton Towers only provided group discounts at the waterpark to parties with 40 or more people but might be worth double checking this. Guests with a disability pay the standard charge but can be accompanied by a free carer is they require assistance. Proof of disability will be requested ‘which may include a Blue Badge, statement of special educational needs from LEA or NHS, or a letter from a medical professional on NHS headed paper’, (taken from Alton Towers Guide for Visitors with Disabilities).
Many thanks for your website on all of Alton Towers, it helped us to plan our trip to the theme park and waterpark. We have just had an amazing weekend there!
Thank you Linda for taking the time to leave us some feedback, you have just made my day:) Glad you enjoyed your weekend at Alton Towers and that you found our top tips helpful, Liz
looking for offers for splash landings at Alton towers. I have three children aged 7,6 and 6.
Hi Allison, Alton Towers don’t tend to run as many Waterpark deals as they do at the theme park:( Passholders can gain a 20% discount if they book in advance. Are you visiting the theme park as well? There is a waterpark comeback ticket offer that you can take advantage of – more details available at Alton Towers Come Back Deal. Sometimes, during term time, the Waterpark runs a late entrance offer from 4pm onwards – best to check with the Waterpark directly to see if this is running on the day of your visit.
