The UK has some incredible theme parks to visit! There are heaps to choose from and all have their own charm, thrill-seeking rides and even some of the tallest roller coasters you can imagine! Honestly, you are spoiled for choice for all the best theme parks in the UK to visit that are dotted all across the country. Though with so much choice, it can be hard to whittle down a firm list of the ones you’d like most!
To help you get the most out of your theme park trip, I’ve jotted down the very best, and dare I say, iconic theme parks in the UK you need to experience. Best of all, most are quite close to major cities in the UK like London, Manchester and regions around the South of England. The only sticking point is Scotland, where there is significantly less choice in terms of theme parks.
Anyway, I’m rambling, take a look at some of our all-time favourite theme parks that you honestly need to visit. Have the best time exploring!
1.) Alton Towers
Alton Towers is arguably one of the UK’s most popular theme parks! It’s huge, has heaps of rides and even has its own hotels where you can stay to make a whole weekend of it. We love the Alton Towers Hotel, but there’s also Splash Landings Hotel, with its own waterpark that’s totally fun!
Over the years, we’ve visited Alton Towers many times. It’s a really fun theme park in the UK to visit and is easily up there as one of the best days out. I would say it’s always best to book these Alton Towers tickets in advance of your visit. This way, you’re not adding extra queuing time once you arrive and take the monorail from the car park.
Now, what Alton Towers does really well is theming. The rides all have backstories and are like ‘experiences’. This makes it so much more fun than just having a random roller coaster plonked in a park.
One of the classic rides is Nemesis Reborn, a looping, floorless coaster that is totally amazing. Talking of roller coasters, you’ve also got Thirteen, Rita and the Wicker Man, which are absolutely amazing. Oh, and don’t forget about Galactica, a lay-down roller coaster that feels like you’re flying!
Don’t fret if roller coasters aren’t your thing! You’ve also got immersive rides like Hex, which is situated within the Dark Forest area of Alton Towers. We love it!
Finally, two things to note if you’re visiting Alton Towers. The queue for rides can be long! Like, we have been to Alton Towers…
