In The Night Garden Magical Boat Ride Stoke-on-Trent, Alton

Reviews

1. Jo Gabriella ★★★★★

   In the night garden boat ride is a fun little ride that takes you along a little river in your own little boat big enough for the family to ride together. It's shows you some little displays of the in the night garden characters and is quite calming and takes you away from the busy areas. This ride can be found in the CBeebies area of the Alton towers theme park resort and takes you through the CBeebies land gift shop as you exit which is stocked with some good quality toys and gifts. The staff in this shop are so friendly and helpful

   There aren’t too many rides or things to do here in CBeebies land for kids under 90cm but this is one of the things that is available and it lasts a decent amount of time too. We were there on a Sunday during school holidays and queue was about 15minutes

   The In the night garden Boat ride has to be the best attraction at CBeebies land Although the animatronics are getting old and a bit outdated now the ride is still good for the kids. Post man pat will be missed tho.

   Could do with updating. The animatronics are old and some don't work. The ride itself is wonderful for younger children, it's just a little disappointing that it feels a little outdated. A good refurb would be welcomed
