CBeebies Land
CBeebies Land is a themed area located within the Alton Towers resort in Staffordshire, England. It is based on the CBeebies brand, a BBC television channel dedicated to pre-school children. The area features various rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, and live entertainment featuring characters from popular CBeebies shows.
History
[edit]
In January 2014, it was announced that the Old MacDonald's Farmyard and Storybook Land areas of Alton Towers would be re-themed into CBeebies Land.[1] The project was a collaboration between Merlin Entertainments and BBC Worldwide (now BBC Studios).
The area officially opened to the public on 25 May 2014.[2] In 2017, the theme was expanded beyond the park with the opening of the CBeebies Land Hotel,[3] a 76-room on-site accommodation.
The area was expanded in Spring 2022 to add three new experiences: "Hey Duggee Big Adventure Badge", "Andy's Adventures Dinosaur Dig", and "JoJo & Gran Gran At Home".[4]
