CBeebies Land
All your favourite CBeebies characters are out and about at Alton Towers Resort. Some of children television's most loved characters to life, including The Go Jetters, Octonauts, and Bluey.
Combining a range of hands on, educational activities with a host of family friendly rides, there's a whole world of fun at your fingertips. Just like CBeebies broadcasting style, there is a wide range of attractions for the Resort's youngest guests to enjoy.
You enter CBeebies Land through the wooded area at the foot of Towers Street, while the Get Set Go Treetop Adventure glides gently by over the Something Special Sensory Garden. The Octopod sea base, which can be found docked a little further on, is ready to send little adventurers deep under the sea on the Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure
Passing by the CBeebies Photo Studio, you soon arrive at the CBeebies Clock Tower, where you have a choice of which direction to take. One path takes you through the heart of Greendale as you pass by Postman Pat's Parcel Express, where a familiar fleet of vans are busy delivering all manner of packages.
The Bugbie Go Round sits at the hub of CBeebies Land, alongside In the Night Garden Magical Boat Ride. And nearby, you can choose whether you want to visit Jojo & Gran Gran at Home or stop by Justin's House and have a go with in his Pie-O-Matic Factory.
Alternatively, you might want to visit the Big Fun Showtime arena, where a host of characters wait to meet you. A little further along this same path you'll pass the Furchester Hotel and Go Jetters Vroomster Zoom Ride and just a hop skip and a jump beyond, you'll also find Hey Duggee’s Big Adventure Badge, Peter Rabbit Hippity Hop and Andy’s Adventure Dinosaur Dig.
Area History
The area first opened in 1989 as the Britannia Building Society Farm, a primarily educational area guests could see cows being milked and exhibits on modern farming. A change of name in 1992 to the Safeway Farm gave the farm a fresh new look, thought it didn't see a huge change to the line-up.
In 1995 the area had a major change, however, when the farm was transformed into the more fantastical Old MacDonald's Farmyard with the addition of several new rides to the area, replacing several of the animal paddocks and other farm-related exhibitions.
By the end of the 2013 season, the Farmyard had reached the end of its time at Alton Towers and construction fences began to spring up around, in preparations for the CBeebies Land, which was officially announced on 15th October 2013, and promised to bring several popular brands and characters to the new area.
The only new ride to be added during the CBeebies Land transformation was Postman Pat's Parcel Post, which reused the route of the former Old MacDonald's Tractor Ride. Instead, the focus was on adding shows and walk-through attractions, such as Nina's Science Lab, alongside rethemes of existing attractions.
In subsequent seasons, however the area expanded quickly, with the addition of the Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure in 2015, followed by the Go Jetters in 2017, alongside the Furchester Hotel. Peter Rabbit hopped into the land in 2019 but in the same year, Nina's Science Lab closed.
The next major updated came in 2022, when CBeebies Land received a minor overhaul, including its fun, new entrance structure. At the same time Tree Fu Tom, Charlie and Lola and Mr Bloom all departed the park, making way for Hey Duggee, Jojo and Gran Gran, and Andy's Dinosaur Adventures.
Bluey arrived in CBeebies Land in 2024 and currently stars in a show in Big Fun Showtime. But big changes are afoot down in Greendale, as it seems that 2025 might be the final season for Postman Pat's Parcel Post, and the park have applied (but are still awaiting approval for) planning permission for Project Sunshine, a new junior coaster.
