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

View of CBeebies Land

In October 2013, it was announced that Old MacDonald's Farmyard and Storybook Land would be permanently closed to make way for a new family area coming in 2014. In January 2014, it was announced that the new area would be called CBeebies Land. 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. In 2017, the theme was expanded beyond the park with the opening of the CBeebies Land Hotel, 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".
