Can I take my own food and drink into Alton Towers?
Can I bring my own food into Alton Towers Resort? Yes, you're welcome to bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks into the theme park. There are designated picnic areas throughout the grounds, perfect for a mid-adventure break.
Some outlets at the Resort such as our hotel bars, the Enchanted Village shop, mobile food and drink units and smaller park kiosks are cashless and payment can only be made using credit or debit cards. All other locations on the Theme Park accept both cash and card.
We look forward to welcoming you to Alton Towers Theme Park. 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!
Some of the rides and attractions can be quite small in area and to some individuals these may feel confined. However no public areas on the Park can be defined as a confined space. Alton Towers has several areas of open water and the gardens have some areas with steeply sloping sides.
If you wish to leave the thrills of the theme park and re-enter on the same day for any reason; whether you've forgotten some essentials at your accommodation or fancy 40 winks in the car in between thrills, you may be required to show your original entry ticket alongside your hand stamp.
If the person named on the booking supplies valid ID such as a passport or driver's license then there will be no problem when collecting your tickets. The named person collecting the tickets will also need to bring valid photo ID along with the signed letter.
Since your bags and loose articles are not allowed to be taken on the majority of the rides, we recommend that you place all your loose items and valuables into one of our safe and secure lockers. Lockers can be found in the following Theme Park areas: Towers St, X-Sector, Forbidden Valley and Dark Forest.
Experience. It can't be denied that Toxicator is an imposing presence in Forbidden Valley! The ride is billed as the latest technology from The Phalanx, being used by the organisation to extract and refine toxic saliva from the Nemesis creature through subjection to extreme centrifugal forces.
CBeebies land is great for any child above 90cm (if they are below this height they won't get on many rides) and they will have a great time. We went May bank holiday Sunday and max Que time was 20 mins but most was 5-10 mins max.
