Blackpool Tower

I visited blackpool tower in August last year, the tower does not look and very big from the outside, once inside the space is unbeleivable, I was very shocked that they could fit so many attrations within it. They have 2 entrances on at the front on the main shore road and the other at the back beside the shopping centre. be warned we had to que for 40 mins (in the pouring rain) with no shelter. It gets very busy in the summer!! best to pre book tickets for the circus on entrance. we had a lady in a wheelchair with us, the staff were more than helpful and they operate the lift to the top of the tower and even let you skip the que.

Another thrilling sight to see in Blackpool is of course the standing big tower. Now if you actually go inside rather than looking at the tower from the outside like some people do its a different experience. You can actually go inside the tower and take a ride up. There are other things to do inside a eating area plus a lot of other sections where a lot of items are being sold inside. It cost me ten pounds to take a trip up the tower and boy was it a good experience and it was fun. What happened was they put us in the tower and you go up and get to see everyone else from a top view. It is very scary because from the bottom you are made to stand on ...  Read the complete review

We visited the tower in 2008 and i was very impressed with the entertainment on offer and all for a reasonable price,considering you could go in the morning and stay well into the evening. Firstly we visited the aquarium, there were some beautiful colored fish,there were seahorses large sting rays and sharks.. The way the tanks were laid out and the low lighting made for lovely exhibits in a relaxing atmosphere,we spent a lot of time there before we moved on. Next you enter an area with slot machines not really my thing but i sure the children enjoy it.We headed for the ballroom which is beautiful inside and that wonderful old organ the wurzzler we spent an enjoyable ...  Read the complete review

Getting there: Whenever we go to Blackpool we always play the "who can spot Blackpool Tower first" game. Whether arriving by train or car, the Tower stands out in the distance. If arriving by train its about a 10 minute walk to the tower from Blackpool North station. Just head down Talbot road and then turn left aiming for the prom. If driving go to the end of the M55 and parking is clearly sign-posted. On a windy day it's advisiable to use the entrance on the non-prom side of the Tower - it can get very blustery - hold on to your hats!!! Admission: There are a number of vouchers available for the Tower, ie Tesco free child entry with full-paying ...  Read the complete review

Blackpool Tower, the most stunning land mark in the country rising up into view from miles away and the focus of a game played by many a holiday maker as to who spots it first on the way to Blackpool. This magnificant structure has been open since 1894 and stands at 518 feet 9 inches. It was supposed to be based on the eiffel tower but surpasses it on aesthetics. Entry is gained from either the prom or the street behind and a small tip is if its warm and sunny there will be a bigger queue on the prom side, cold and wet means a bigger queue to the rear. It costs £10 for all to book online but adults pay £13.95 on the door, our last trip ...  Read the complete review
