Time-Saving Top Tips for your Day Out at Alton Towers

Here are some top tips to help you enjoy more fun:

1) The Monorail and entrance open at 9am. Arrive early, grab a drink and head to your favourite rides, ready for the fun to begin at 10am!

2) Keep an eye on the Information Screens. There are queue time information screens throughout the park, helping you to plan your day. Park opening times may also be extended on the day. Check the information screens for the latest information.

3) Download the Alton Towers Resort App. The new and improved app provides up-to-date queue times, opening hours, ride times and more. Download the app to plan your route around the Theme Park and enjoy exclusive special offers!

4) Eat early, eat late. Plan your lunch break wisely and make the most of the rides when everyone else is eating.

5) Squeeze in one last ride at the ride close time. Make the last ride count! Each ride has an advertised close time - but be aware that this is when the queue closes, not the ride itself! There’s always time for one more!
