Clean, warm pools and very well staffed and overall a fun family day out. Only downside was a lack of slides - there is one main slide with a 45 minute wait time. There are areas for playing with water guns and buckets etc to keep children amused if not going on the slide. In the children's area, there is a toddler slide and an area for splashing and paddling. There are two outdoor heated pool areas which is more like a giant jacuzzi - not really big enough for swimming in. There is a Costa coffee mini drinks cafe at the pool side near the children's pool with plenty of seating around. They don't sell food, but you can also access the fast food restaurant from the pool area too. There is a pool shop selling floating equipment etc should you forget anything. I picked up a baby float seat for £16. The changing rooms are universal so both men and women are mixed together but every room is individual for privacy. You can take your pram into the changing rooms and it can fit into the family sized rooms which is handy. There are pull down changing tables attached to the wall but no option to secure your baby to them whilst you get yourself ready, so this is where having your pram comes in handy. You can also take your pram pretty much right upto the pool - great for watching the remainder of your party, but to get to it, you will need to get your wheels wet going through the footwash area. There is a small pram storage area outside of the changing rooms, opposite the reception desk, but this is left at your own risk. If you need to come in and out, the staff will stamp your hand. The large lockers can fit about 2 large bags inside them. All lockers require 20p which you get back at the end. There is a main shower area as you come in/out of the pool but there are also individual private showers inside a changing room style area - they are located with the toilets. These are free to use and access. Drying pods are also available but not sure if you have to pay for these. There is an area with hairdryers and large mirrors. You can borrow towels if you forget your own but not sure if there is an extra charge for these as we didn't require them.

A very good time was spent there. It's a great place for kids, but not just for them. Lots of activities and two big water slides (very crowded and sometimes the waiting queue was even 40min), the outside pools and slides are wonderful. For waterpark 5🌟 For golf experience 4🌟 the area was not very clean, and we were rushed to finish, very crowded, and after a few holes, we gave up. We slept in Woodland Lodges 4🌟 very clean rooms and very comfortable beds, warm and nice inside. However, it was raining outside and the bathroom ceiling was wet, and the drops made a stressful noise. We put towels on the floor, and they didn't make a big difference once the towels got wet. Another noise was from the heating pipes, but probably if you plan to go in the summer, you are not gonna experience this problem. Food 4🌟 The food inside the waterpark has not many options and not a very tasty, funny thing is that you are not allowed to bring anything from outside, and you want to have a full day of fun in water. Breakfast was wonderful. The only time when we got to the restaurant with pleasure. As I said before, it was not very tasty, and there were not too many options on the menu, but expensive. I love to eat something that I like, and here wasn't the case. I was asked to pay £5 safety deposit, and I was told I'm gonna have them back when I leave. It never happened, so probably I have to chase that if I want it back. Besides that, we have a good time and definitely we want to come back.

It was such a great experience tbh! Pros: The toddlers loved their area, which wasn't too deep to allow toddlers to be able to walk freely and use the slides. The staff are sharp, especially when it comes to the hygiene of the pools and ensuring they maintain clean throughout the day. Monitoring the safety of slides and other rides for both adults and kids and in a very serious but light way as well. Reception and The Lady who monitored the entry was super attentive and was swift in providing assistance, same with the shopkeeper. There are plenty of options to park if I must say I didn't encounter one staff member who appeared miserable. The kids where extremely happy throughout and did not want to leave. Cons: The changing room took a while to wait for whilst having to get changed couldve done with more family changing rooms. The showers on the day were absolutely way too cold to let either the adults or kids take a shower. The food area in the pool bit didnt really scream, attended; and unless you got good bucks then I would suggest to go upstairs which appeared to have a lovely buffet but was 26+ for adults I believe and 10+ for kids but it did look really nice but for a large group it could be very expensive.

So yet again we visited alton towers this time the water park (splash landing) . No change to rides not working we booked to go here and no big surprise when we got there the out door slides were not working children were disssapointed yet again as this meant ques for rides inside were even bigger . 45 mins wait times to go down a slide is way to long as the children wanted to be in the water . Every time we come here we feel short changed you pay to have a fun day yet always some attractions seem not to be working just puts us adults off from doing the two hour drive to have the kids dissapointed .ww are glad now we didnt stay at the hotel as it would of made a very expensive day out to be stood in lines waiting .At no point on entering were we made aware the out door slides were not working .parking was good restuarant had no places for us to eat there was a 2 hour wait for a table so we left and stopped for food on the way home

Brilliant place to visit with friends, family, and especially children. Both the design and the facilities are state of the art: good quality and safe materials, fun games, slides, water guns, buckets, water currents/streams to travel on, pools of various depths, plenty of seats and tables, drinks, food, snacks and desserts (ice cream), etc. Anyone over 1.1 metres can try the large slide, however, there's quite a long queue for that most of the time so it requires some patience to wait for your turn. The water looked and felt clean from morning until the closing. The changing rooms and toilets are also clean, easily accessible and conveniently located. It's very fun, therefore kids often play here until they get totally exhausted. It is worth every penny of the admission price. I can only recommend it.
