SOMETIMES, one day at a theme park just isn’t enough.
So Alton Towers is offering a second ticket free this summer – and there are two ways you can redeem it.
This year is a great year to go, with new Bluey rollercoaster opening earlier this year.
Or if you want to go full throttle, hop onto Wicker Man, Nemesis Reborn, the Toxicator and The Smiler – so here is how to claim the deal.
Second Day-Ticket
Let’s start with claiming a second-day ticket with the Twice the Fun offer.
Families who book an Alton Towers Resort theme park ticket between June 25 and July 27 will receive a free second-day ticket.
You can use it to return to Alton Towers, or check out one of the other three Merlin attractions; Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures and LEGOLAND Windsor Resort.
The offer is valid on visits between June 25 and September 30.
Overnight Stays
The other way to get a second-day ticket is if you book consecutive-night stays on dates between June 25 to October 22 2026.
This includes stays during the school holidays too.
To claim the offer, you have to book an overnight stay at one of the on-site hotels between June 25 and July 29.
You’ll get an overnight stay at the resort, full entry to the theme park plus a completely free second day.
You can choose from four hotels. There’s the Alton Towers Hotel which has the Secret Garden Restaurant and Dragons Bar.
It has themed rooms so you can even choose to sleep in a bed that is like a bathtub, a hot air balloon or even a princess carriage.
A weekend stay between July 11 and July 12 in the Explorer Room for a family of four starts from £363 – or £90.75pppn.
Little ones will love the CBeebies Land Hotel which has live shows, games and exciting meet and greets with CBeebies characters.
A two-night stay in the Bugbies Room at the CBeebies Land Hotel from August 10 to August 12 for a family of four is £735 – or £91.87pppn.
The Caribbean-inspired Splash Landings Hotel is a tropical retreat with themed exotic family-friendly restaurants and entertainment.
There are the luxurious Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges which have come with private outdoor decking and a play area for children.
If you want to really indulge, check out the Luxury Treehouses which sleep up to eight people and have private hot tubs.
Or there are even Star Gazing pods which come with telescopes for admiring the night sky.
A three-night stay in a Star Gazing pod for July 10 to July 13 for a family of four works out at £458 – or £38.17pppn.
At the hotels are plenty of evening entertainment, 9 holes of crazy golf, free parking and breakfast is included too.
