Don’t take our word for it. See our testimonials.

The icing on the cake for me was Lightopia Wonderland.. Teamed with the resort's free Christmas market - you're in for a festive day like no other at Alton Towers this year.

Birmingham Live

You’ll get to feast your eyes on light installations, lanterns, and ‘colour transformations’

Metro

Having taken in several light trails over the past couple of years, this was the part we were most excited for, and we weren’t disappointed

The Sun

Lightopia was fantastic! It took us nearly an hour to walk around and the displays were beautiful.

Verit, Trip Advisor

Two teenage girls and and parents and I can honestly say we loved it.. The centre light pieces are amazing as are the lasers shooting through the woods
