Sandcastle in Blackpool or water park at Alton Towers??

Which is better? The prices work out about the same for us but AT is a bit further to drive. We've been to AT before but never been to Sandcastle. Not sure whether to give it a go or stick with what we know? The children are 4 & 7 so won't be wanting any of the fast crazy rides.

Am going to blackpool this year during the illuminations which i booked a room at norbreck castle hotel http://www.norbreckcastle.com and will be going to the sandcastle waterpark then so will let you know then, otherwise you can read reviews on the sandcastle water park in blackpool on the web.

I'm tempted by Blackpool this year, but I do love Alton Towers. The new sealife centre is amazing, it really is superb. We wandered into Hex, at the castle, not expecting anything much but it was the best! :cool:

Have been put off by the negative reviews online for Sandcastle. Okay, they're 50/50 between good and bad but on a weekend in August in Blackpool, it's definitely going to be too busy for 2 small children. Now going to the National Media Museum in Bradford instead, and it's free. So even better.

you could have always gone to Waterworld in Stoke on Trent, 15 miles away from Alton Towers, its a great day out the kids love it.
