Attractions

The Blackpool Tower is not only a great local landmark in its own right but also home to several great attractions, the most well known of which is probably the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. The ballroom is one of the finest in the country and still hosts regular dances in the true old fashioned way. For the younger members of the family there are a host of children’s entertainment in the form of the likes of Under Sea World and Jungle Jim’s playground.

For a choice of thrilling white knuckle rides you need to get down to the Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a vast funfair with plenty to do. Despite new rides it’s the classic roller-coasters that Blackpool is best known for, including the ultimate challenge if you dare, the Pepsi Max Big One, Europe ’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, so definitely not for the faint hearted.

Along the Golden Mile in New Bonny Street you’ll find the Sea Life Centre, a modern aquarium designed to interest and intrigue entire families from young to old alike. There’s a diverse collection of colourful marine life to behold including sharks. They also hold feeding demonstrations that are well worth timing your visit around.

For water based fun take a trip to the Sandcastle where you’ll find Waterworld, a huge leisure pool with impressive water chute rides, a wave machine and a balmy tropical temperature for those who just want to chill out poolside. There are also quieter attractions such as the Sleepy Lagoon and a children’s entertainer most days.

For a day out with a difference try the Model Village on East Park Drive . Here you’ll find an entire village constructed on a miniature scale where even the little ones can peer over the rooftops, making for some great photo opportunities. It’s also the wonderful attention to detail that really makes this a particularly charming place.
