Cbeebies Land
About
CBeebies Land is a vibrant, child‑centric hub inside Alton Towers Resort that transforms the theme park into an interactive playground for preschoolers and their families. Opened in May 2014, it rethemes the former Storybook Land and Old McDonald’s Farmyard areas with bright, imaginative settings based on popular CBeebies characters. Visitors can meet lovable figures such as Mr Tumble, Mr Bloom, and the iconic Squirry in their own dedicated zones, as well as engage in sensory experiences, small‑scale rides, and game‑based learning activities. The park’s layout encourages hands‑on exploration: a sensory garden featuring the “Something Special” play pods, a musical playground with Iggle Piggle, a gentle farm‑yard area with Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka, and a science‑lab inspired area called the “Nina & the Neurons.” These interactive zones are complemented by themed story‑time shows, character meet‑and‑greet sessions, and seasonal events that keep the experience fresh year‑round. For families with young children, CBeebies Land offers a safe, inclusive environment where every visit merges play, learning and imagination. The park’s design promotes cooperative play, encourages curiosity about STEM concepts, and provides quiet spaces for parents to relax while children explore. With a blend of indoor and outdoor attractions, it’s an ideal short‑stop destination for a day at Alton Towers, especially during the school recess period and summer holidays. During peak seasons the area can become bustling, but the park’s wide‑open layout and varied activity tracks help spread crowds out, making it accessible for all ages.
