One of the 20 most popular theme parks in the world, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been run by the same family (The Thompsons) since its inception in 1896. The park has broken all kinds of UK, European and world records over the last century, and has more roller coasters (10) than any other theme park in the country. We’ll talk about the Big One nex...
Such is the size of this iconic roller coaster that its colossal frame is now as much a fixture of Blackpool’s skyline as the Blackpool Tower. When the Big One opened in 1994 it was the tallest roller coaster in the world, and nearly 25 years later it’s still the tallest in the UK. Back at the start it was also the world’s steepest at 65° and longe...
If there’s one sight inextricably ties to Blackpool it’s this 158-metre iron tower. The Blackpool Tower was unveiled in 1894 and still has the highest man-made observation point in the northwest UK.

The neo-Baroque auditorium has four levels and abounds with exuberant gilded stuccowork, on the ceiling and the cantilevered balconies. The Grand Theatre is such a majestic place to watch a performance that you don’t need to be ...
An enormous entertainment centre, the Winter Gardens first opened in 1878 and houses the Opera House, one of the largest theatres in the UK, with a capacity of 3,000. This is just one of a multitude of auditoriums and halls at the Winter Gardens, including the barrel-vaulted Empress Ballroom, which is both a cavernous concert venue and formerly whe...
A respite from Blackpool’s glossy entertainment and arcades, the resort’s largest park is in 260 acres, a mile east of the promenade. The man behind the park’s design in the 1920s was the landscape architect Thomas Mawson, and he was responsible for a couple of the buildings. The most striking is the cafe, in an Art Deco style and overlooking the I...
The resort’s zoo is in 32 acres of English parkland, just a couple of miles in from Blackpool Tower. Blackpool Zoo opened in 1972 and rolls out new exhibits every few years. The latest, Project Elephant, is also the largest investment in the zoo’s 45-year history, featuring the largest indoor elephant hall in the UK. Also special is the Orangutan O...
