We have two of the best UK theme parks in Staffordshire, plus loads of other adrenaline attractions if you like to get your heart racing!
Alton Towers Resort
If you’re looking for white-knuckle rollercoasters, there are none better than the Alton Towers Resort rides!
Tackle the exhilarating Big Six, from Nemesis: Reborn, the fearsome, uncontrollable monster in Forbidden Valley, to Oblivion, with its exhilarating vertical drop, and The Smiler, the world’s first rollercoaster with 14 loops.
Enjoy the thrilling Wicker Man, a unique, immersive coaster experience – the first in the world to combine wood and fire!
For younger visitors, there is plenty to entertain at Alton Towers CBeebies Land, which is packed with rides dedicated to hit CBeebies shows, including In the Night Garden, Octonauts, Postman Pat, and Peter Rabbit.
Escape from the mayhem in the historic castle and beautiful gardens, discover the weird and wonderful creatures in Sharkbait Reef by SEALIFE, cool off in the Alton Towers Waterpark and tuck in to an exciting meal at the world’s first Rollercoaster Restaurant.
Drayton Manor Resort
At Drayton Manor Park, you can get to know some well-loved children’s TV characters at Europe’s only Thomas Land.
Take a tour of Thomas Land with Thomas, Rosie or Percy, put out the flames on Flynn’s Fire Rescue, and soar into the air with James and the Red Balloon, before a relaxing snack at Sodor Airport, where you could bump into Sir Topham Hatt!
Test your nerve on a whole host of Drayton Manor rides, with plenty for thrill-seekers to enjoy, including firm favourites Accelerator, Maelstrom, and Stormforce 10, and new attractions Gold Rush and The Wave.
Away from the mayhem, there are more than 80 different species, including tigers, meerkats and lemurs, waiting for you at the fascinating Drayton Manor Zoo.
Snowdome Tamworth
The original UK indoor ski slope, Snowdome in Tamworth is a great family day out, packed with soft landings on real snow all-year round!
Snowdome activities include ski and snowboard sessions on the 170m main slope, with lessons for all abilities on the two training slopes to get you ready for your winter break, plus great snow fun like tubing and sledging and the UK’s only ice track.
Waterworld Stoke
Get a taste of the tropics and make a splash with the family on the slides at Waterworld Stoke, one of the top indoor water parks in the UK.
There’s something for everyone, with Thunderbolt, Stormchaser, the Jungle House and over 30 other rides to enjoy, and soothing days in the hot tubs, on the two courses at Adventure Mini Golf, or a spot of role playing at Adventure Mini Village.
Adventure Attractions
Hang around at one of our high wire ropes courses, including Go Ape at Cannock Chase, with its Tarzan Swings and zip wires through breath-taking scenery, and the Treetop Adventures at The Trentham Estate.
Get to grips with famous climbs like Valkyrie and The Perverted Staircase in The Roaches, a hotspot for rock-climbers in the Staffordshire Peak District with 700 different routes to try, and test your skills at Kilnworx Climbing Centre, with routes and walls for all abilities.
For more high-octane hi-jinks, bounce into action on the trampolines at Flip Out, get behind the wheel of a supercar at Drive Me, or throw yourself around the track at Midland Karting.
And you can go cross-country on a quad bike at NPF Bassett’s Pole, where you can test your aim with one of the paintball challenges, with a bow and arrow, or even with an axe!
