Alton Towers was first theme park I went to when I was two. The first few times I went, we used to look at the gardens, but now we concentrate on the rides !
It's very large and you can get worn out walking about, even without going up and down the valley the gardens are within.
It's famous for it's thrill rides (which I can't go on) but it has loads of things for me as well. There's two whole areas dedicated to children's rides.
We've been lots of times and normally use some kind of money off voucher. Last time it cost Mummy, Daddy and Me £47.00
Rides are grouped into areas, often with a long walk between them. The theming isn't bad, but not up to Disney's standards.
While the paths are mainly OK, there's rubbish & weeds everywhere in the grass & bushes. Quite a lot of theming looks faded.
