Alton Towers Resort is a Theme Park Resort located in Staffordshire, England, near the village of Alton.
The Resort, which is operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, incorporates a Theme Park, Waterpark, Extraordinary Mini Golf course and five fantastical accommodations! Originally a private estate, Alton Towers grounds opened to the public in 1860 to raise funds for the estate.
In the late 20th century it was transformed into a Theme Park and opened a number of new rides from 1980 onwards. Alton Towers Resort currently has over 40 rides and attractions!
The theme park is open from mid-March to early November. Special events are hosted throughout the year, including our award-winning Scarefest event for Halloween!
