Cbeebies Land review 2026
Cbeebies land is located within Alton Towers resort in Stoke-on-Trent. This post will give you a complete Cbeebies land review, covering the best rides, shows, places to eat and more! We first visited a few years ago when our son Leo was only JUST 90cm. We have recently been with him as a 5 year old with his 2 year old cousin, Eli and baby brother Luca. Although the rides are now a little tame for him, he really enjoyed the park with his little cousin and brother.
If you want to read about the main park, read our Alton Towers review here.
How much is Cbeebies land?
Admission is usually a bit pricey as you are paying for the whole Alton Towers experience. We ended up spending the whole day just in Cbeebies land and didn’t get the time to see any of the main park, there is just so much to do there. If you book online, the price starts from £29 per person with children under 90cm getting to enter for free. You can get a Parent and Toddler ticket on some days, which is £29 for an adult and a child up to age 5. Additional children age 5 and under are £5.Pre booked parking is £10.
The cheapest way to visit Cbeebies land
One of the cheapest ways to visit Cbeebies land is to use Tesco Club card vouchers to purchase the tickets. We did just that. Our club card points add up quickly and we never know how to spend them, so this was the perfect excuse for a fun day out! You can find 2-4-1 deals with a variety of companies. Blue light card holders can also get a discount.
Arriving at Cbeebies land
Cbeebies Land Rides
The park itself was a lot bigger than we expected. The rides are aimed at children between age 1 and 6. We waited for Leo to be 90cm tall before first visiting, as we wanted him to be able to enjoy all of the rides. Once measured we were given an orange band to put around his arm, meaning he didn’t need to be measured at every ride. When we revisited with him aged 5 he was almost a little too old for this area, especially given he doesn’t watch cbeebies anymore. However he is familiar with all the characters and had a really fun day showing his little cousin around.
We arrived just as the park opened, meaning most of the rides initially had short queues. We made a beeline for the Octonauts Rollercoaster knowing that this may be one of the busier rides. The wait time at the start of the queue already said 30 minutes, however this was an overestimate and we waited around 15. For any Cbeebies obsessed toddler, the familiarity of the theme tunes, the characters, and the excitement of trying something new is really a brilliant experience.
EDIT TO ADD: More recently we visited Alton Towers and explored more of the main park. You can read about that here.

Post Man Pat
Leo was most excited about this ride when he was little, we had watched some YouTube vlogs of people at the park the day before we visited and this one seemed to have stuck with him. “Post man Pat please!!” was all we heard all day until the wait time had reduced enough for us to join the queue! You drive around in postman pats van, two kiddies can sit at the front ‘driving’ and there is space for two adults in the back. There are lots of buttons to press and a camera at the start to take a cute photo. Like most of the rides here, I wouldn’t want to be waiting longer than 30 minutes for this!
In the night garden Magical boat ride
Great for any ‘In the night garden’ fans, if we didn’t watch the show it wouldn’t have been as entertaining. You get on a boat and enter the night garden, going passed the ‘Ninky Nonk’ , Tombliboos, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka, the Pontipines, the HaaHoos and Iggle piggle. We had a laugh trying to remember all the silly names as we went round (The ‘Bingybongs’?, ‘Noftynoos’?.) Each characters song plays as you approach them, Leo is 5 and enjoyed singing along! This one is worth waiting for if you love the show.
Bugbie Go Round
There is lots of space so the wait time was essentially one spin of the carousel. What toddler doesn’t love spinning around. They get to sit on little cars as the carousel spins. Brave parents get to sit on a bench right in the middle, enjoying maximum spinning… definitely not for those with a weak stomach!

Cbeebies Land Shows
The ‘Big Fun Show Time’ arena hosts four different shows throughout the day. Each is repeated to ensure you get the opportunity to see them all. In addition to this there is the ‘Furchester Hotel’ Live show which runs every half an hour. Within the main ‘Show Time’ arena there is a snack counter which serves drinks and snacks, and toilets with both baby changing and baby feeding rooms. There is a large sheltered area where the performances happen. We arrived 10 minutes early to each show and were able to sit right at the front. This is great if it starts raining which lets be honest, is likely even during the summer months! At the end of each show they offer photo opportunities with the characters, and the line forms from the centre at the front. By sitting at the front you are in prime position for enjoying the show and for being the first in the queue for photos!
The main shows are currently:
Bing Live
Bing and Flop go for a picnic, Bing whinges a lot and Flop shows unparalleled patience. To be completely honest I wasn’t following the story, I find Bing infuriating and was more engaged in filming my Sons face every time they went near him!
Teletubbies Big Band show
They are huge and terrifying, as a toddler, Leo was a bit taken aback by how tall they are in real life. The story was something about them forming a band. Tinkywinky did some singing, we had to help them look for a variety of instruments. It was cute. Leo did NOT want his photo taken anywhere near them.

PortAventura World is a fab theme park in Salou, Spain. I’ve said it’s a great option for big kids given the rollercoasters and higher height requirements - but our two little ones also had a great time there! I have a blog post about our experience where I have listed things that the little ones could do. I posted yesterday about Billund in Denmark, which I think would be a better trip with small children.
We’ve put a post together with Jet2holidays that include PortAventura tickets. Comment HOTELS and I’ll send you the link and the blog post about our time there 💛

Billund is such an amazing family destination. October can be hit and miss with weather, so focusing on a destination with theme parks and indoor attractions can be a great idea.
If you want more information, comment LEGO and I’ll send you a blog post I wrote explaining how to get there, ideas on where to stay along with some practical tips 🫶🏻
