Find Alton Towers rides for your group's heights. Select your minimum height below to see rides with that minimum restriction. If your child is taller than the section you select, they can also consider attractions in the lower-height sections, subject to all safety rules. For example, a 1.2m guest may consider the 1.2m, 1.1m and 0.9m groups—not the 1.4m rides.
