Here are my best tips for spending 2 days at alton towers
Make sure you download the alton towers app, this helps you with queue times which is invaluable! Make a plan of what rides you want to do arrive early as the queues are shorter, especially Smiler, Wicker Man and Nemesis.
If you have small kids, there is plenty to do. The sealife aquarium is well worth a visit and CBeebies land is perfect for toddlers. However the queues are always quite long which is not ideal when you’ve got a 2 year old in tow, but they can go on rides such as the Congo river and runaway train.
After a morning of thrill seeking, don’t forget to check out the grounds and gardens. They are stunning and could be a venue in their own right!
We paid £400 for a family of four for 2 days at alton towers and a stay at the alton tower hotel. The rooms were comfortable, they put on evening entertainment and the breakfast buffet was perfect to get us ready for another day at the park.
There are 6 different accommodations to choose form, including the splash landings hotel which is attached to the alton towers water park.
On day 2 we arrived as it opened and only had to wait 10 minutes to get on Smiler. We managed to fit in oblivion, spinball whizzer and galactica in 2 hours. Don’t forget to head over to the battle galleons and squirt water at the boats, this was my Son’s personal favourite!
2 days is more than enough to fit everything in and alton towers still remains one of my favourite theme parks.

I recently spent a day at @champneysspas Forsest Mere with friends. Our Spa day pass cost £99 with breakfast and lunch included. We hired bikes in the morning and then spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool, using the steam and sauna room and ending it with an aqua fit class. It’s probably one of my favourite spa days so far, head to the blog to find out more 🧖♀️

One day in the UK and I’m ready to go again after seeing 4 seasons in one day ☔️☀️💨💨💨💨💨 #travelmore #4seasonsinoneday #funnymemes
Without a doubt, every holiday I look in the estate agents window to check out local house prices, figure out it would be cheaper to sell our house back in the UK, buy a small villa with views of the sea and spend the rest of my days reading books and having a swim in the Mediterranean. Then I remember I have kids and a stupid job back home and it becomes a distant dream… Until next time Turkey, you’ve been amazing 🇹🇷 ☀️

3am wake up cool for our holiday to Turkey tomorrow 🍾🍾🍾 No snooze button shall be pressed 💤
We went with the more expensive airline out of principle! 🤷🏻♀️😂
It’s the added extras that get me. Want a pillow? That’s £68 per person, per night. Want a view that isn’t of the building site next door? That’s an extra £300…
You want an extra £52 each way so I can take some actual clothes with me on holiday!? #easyjet #cabinbag #stupidairlinefees #ididntneed27bikinisanyway
@theboxplymouth in Plymouth is a cutting-edge cultural and historical facility that serves as a museum, gallery, and archive all rolled into one. We popped here with the kids in the half term and I was so impressed with the whole concept. Even the kids spent a few hours in here without a single moan! Situated in the heart of Plymouth, England, this innovative space opened its doors to the public with the aim of preserving and showcasing the rich maritime history and heritage of the city and the broader region. The Box is renowned for its extensive collections that span fine art, naval history, and social history, offering a dynamic and immersive experience to visitors. With its striking contemporary architecture, The Box seamlessly integrates historical artifacts with modern technology, providing interactive and engaging exhibits. It stands as a testament to Plymouth’s past, present, and future, inviting locals and tourists alike to explore, learn, and be inspired by the stories and legacies contained within its walls. We loved it! ❤️
A well-known variety of blossom that blooms in winter is the Kawazu-zakura, which typically starts blooming in February, but in some warmer regions or during mild winters, it can start as early as January. These trees have deep pink blossoms and are a popular attraction, especially in the Kawazu town in the Izu Peninsula, where the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival is held annually.
Osaka is a large port city and commercial center on the Japanese island of Honshu. It’s known for its modern architecture, boisterous nightlife, and hearty street food. The 16th-century shogunate Osaka Castle, which has undergone several restorations, is its main historical landmark. It’s surrounded by a moat and park with plum, peach, and cherry-blossom trees. The city is also a hub for traditional Japanese culture, exemplified through its various museums, theaters, and traditional puppet shows. Additionally, Osaka is famous for its vibrant Dōtonbori district, an area known for its extravagant neon lights, large illuminated signboards, and a diverse range of restaurants and bars.
