About Unofficial Alton Towers

Unofficial Alton Towers is an independent visitor information website dedicated to helping families and thrill-seekers plan their days at Alton Towers Resort.

What you’ll find here

We publish practical ride guides, height and accessibility information, tips for visiting with children, seasonal-event explanations, hotel guides and ticket-planning information.

Our aim is to make planning easier and help visitors understand the experiences available before choosing their date and ticket type.

How we prepare our guides

Our articles use publicly available attraction information alongside editorial explanations intended to answer real visitors' questions. Event dates, ticket terms, prices, ride access requirements and operating hours can change, so always confirm time-sensitive details with the relevant operator before travelling or paying.

Our independence

We are not owned, operated or endorsed by Alton Towers Resort or Merlin Entertainments. Brand and attraction names belong to their respective owners. We may earn affiliate commissions from qualifying links, at no additional cost to visitors.
