5 Splash Landings Waterpark Tickets for the first weekend of Easter - could be mayhem but it'll still be fun
Yeah - we've stayed at the hotel before and been to the theme park a fair bit, but never the waterpark. My autistic son loves water, so we're going to take him at Easter for the first time ever. It also gives us a chance to let him take a look around the hotel because he's going to be staying there in May for a weekend at the theme park.Is that Alton Towers? Fantastic place if so, i've been a few times and it was always fun.

We only live about 45 minutes away from Alton Towers, but because we don't have a car we rarely get to go. If we ever do get a car, the first thing I'm getting (after, like, petrol or something) is an annual pass to that place. It's far more family-friendly than it used to be. I used to live closer to Thorpe Park which used to be somewhere in the middle of Chessington and Alton Towers - now that's gone crazy adrenaline junkie mental and Alton Towers has provided more for kids.
Only downside with the waterpark is (aside from having to wear a swimsuit after having 3 kids - bleurgh) is that I have to remove my glasses and without them I cannot see more than 30cm in front of my face clearly. Could be interesting...
Prescription swimming goggles? This interests me greatly...mind you, you're not allowed goggles on the slides (as far as I know) so knowing Jake he'll want to be on them the whole time :lol:I've been there twice, it's a total riot and i do agree about Chessington and Alton Towers, as much as i enjoy thrillathons, Chessington only does that one thing and Thorpe only does that and wet rides. Alton has a large variety of stuff and if i lived closer to it i'd use that as my choice for when i go to theme parks.
Both times i went i went to the waterpark hotel and it's probably the nicest place as well as having one of the more entertaining water parks i've been to. You can get prescription swimming goggles as far as i know, i'd take a look into it if you'd like to make full use of the swimming area but then i have the same problem and i haven't bothered so it's all down to how much it bothers you i suppose
