What You Get
The Alton Towers Waterpark is a combined indoor and outdoor water park. Here is what is included with your waterpark ticket:
Master Blaster
Water coaster that shoots you uphill with water jets. The headline attraction.
Lazy River
Relaxing drift through indoor and outdoor sections.
Wave Pool
Large pool with timed wave sessions.
Children's Splash Area
Shallow splash zone for younger children. Slides and water play features.
Water Slides
Multiple flume slides of varying thrill levels.
Outdoor Pool
Heated outdoor pool area, open weather permitting.
Opening times are typically 10am to 5pm. Seasonal opening, so check the official site for exact dates.
Is the Waterpark Worth Adding On?
Yes, if staying overnight and have young children
The waterpark is perfect for a second-day activity. Hotel guests have a full evening and morning to enjoy it.
Yes, if you have a 2-day ticket
Split your visit: theme park on day 1, waterpark on day 2 morning, then back to the park.
Probably not, if doing a single day trip
You will not have time for both the theme park and waterpark in one day. The theme park alone takes a full day to cover properly. Trying to fit both in means you will rush both and enjoy neither.
