Merlin / Alton Towers

Alton Towers, Legoland, Thorpe Park and the rest of the Merlin parks — official tickets and passes.

Checked September 2026.

About Merlin / Alton Towers

Merlin runs Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Legoland Windsor, Chessington and others. From Frome, Towers is the usual drive. An annual pass only makes sense if you will go more than once.

Compare Merlin’s own shop with AttractionTickets for the same date. Parking and fast-track are often extras.

We link the official parks. We do not sell wristbands.

Key points

What to weigh before you click through.

Official vs reseller

Check both. Dated tickets and parking differ.

Pass maths

Two Towers days can beat two gate prices. Do it on their site.

Not Longleat

Safari is Warminster. Coasters are Staffordshire.

Tickets, photos, maps. A power bank earns its keep.

Pros

  • The big UK parks in one family of shops
  • Annual pass if you repeat
  • Clear dated tickets

Watch-outs

  • A drive from Frome
  • Extras (parking, fast-track) add up

Consider Merlin / Alton Towers if…

The children have already done Longleat and want rides.

Maybe skip if…

You want a garden and a house — National Trust.
