Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel

Posted on March 13, 2024January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

It is one of our yearly traditions to go to Alton Towers during the February half term. They have on this Pirate Takeover event, which has a limited area of the park open. There is a deal that allows you to book up a day at Splash Landings Hotel, the night over at the hotel, and then go to the park the next day (or the reverse of that, really it’s up to you). We love amusement parks and hotels, so this is such a fun time for everyone.

Normally we pick a theme each year for the type of adventures we are going on, and this time it’s weekends away, so for my birthday weekend I booked up Splash Landings Hotel at Alton Towers, during their Pirate Takeover weekend. This was an amazing deal, as it included one night at their Splash Landing Hotel, a time slot in their indoor hotel water park, a day at the Pirate Takeover part of their park, and a mini-golf session, as well as breakfast on the second day.
