Alton Towers Resort 1 Day Admission Ticket - The headline rides: seven coasters with very different personalities

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 5,501 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $44Our pick

Review Alton Towers Resort’s one-day ticket, with seven roller coasters, CBeebies Land, practical tips, costs, queues, and key drawbacks.

“Well we just spent £300 on a holiday that didn't happen!! BEWARE THESE TICKETS ARE NOT FOR THE WHOLE PARK! In no place did it say that the adult section of the park will not be open on this day. We checked the website and Viator and the tickets themselves making sure they were real. Once we reached the gates we were notified that on this day only the kid's sections will be open. And we were two adults. So you can imagine how awkward it was for us, just two adults and all the other people's kids around us. In this day and age.. that was just wrong. We…”

1 Day Admission to LEGOLAND Windsor Resort

2.1 Day Admission to LEGOLAND Windsor Resort

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 5,329 reviews · 1 day (approx.)

Plan a practical LEGOLAND Windsor day with ride tips, queue advice, food costs, accessibility notes, ticket value, and booking guidance.

“1 day is not enough time. Prices are better than other big name parks. If your kid loves STEM, future doctor, IT etc.. then they will love it here. Friends told me to take my kid. Should have brought him sooner! If your kid is neurodivergent like ours then you will appreciate the sensory zones, video game areas, indoor ac areas where they can build legos & unwind while everyone takes a break. Better AC than Disney Paris. The lego store on site had reasonable prices! Was disappointed could not find shirts that say Legoland Windsor/UK. We have Legoland in USA so wanted something to show how far we visited.”

Review of the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford day trip from London, with practical advice on timing, tickets, transport, and value.

“Wi-Fi on bus was poor. When arriving at coach tour pick-up site, I was informed by Evan Evan’s tour guide that I had two bookings for same tour! Online system was giving error messages on Viators end…….screen went blank, so I repeated process. No knowledge that there were two bookings…..Viator and Evan Evan’s refuse any reimbursement! Had I been aware of double booking, I would have cancelled within 24 window! I made numerous attempts to contact Viators customer service agents (as I was on the tour bus with poor WiFi) no resolution! Contacted cs back at hotel and was notified this morning that neither Viator nor Evan Evan’s would reimburse!…”

“The tour to the White Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury was very well organized and absolutely enjoyable. Our guide Aisha was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a very engaging way. She also gave us some great tips. Together with our driver Renata, she did an excellent job and made this a truly wonderful day. We had plenty of time at the White Cliffs of Dover to go for a walk. If you move at a good pace, you can even make it all the way to the lighthouse. We also had enough time in Canterbury to explore the lovely little town and visit the beautiful cathedral. And one…”
