Beaches – Blackpool beach has just been done up with new Spanish-style steps running along the coastline, this allows visitors to take a nice relaxing walk along the sea front enjoying the views of Blackpool. Enjoy a game of volley ball on the sandy beach, meet new people and get to know what UK beaches have to offer. You can even hire a deck chair and sit and enjoy more family time or a refreshing paddle in the sea with the children.

Tours & transport – there are a number of ways to get around Blackpool, a great way to explore is the sightseeing bus. You can book a tour through visiting the tourist information centre. Another way to travel throughout Blackpool is by tram; the tramway is one of the oldest in the world and is the only surviving first-generation tramway in the UK. It was also the UKs first electric system. Why not take a ride along the promenade on a horse and carriage, enjoying the atmosphere and the sound of the sea.

Zoos, Farms and Wildlife – Blackpool is the home to a wide range of wildlife in a whole host of habitats, there is plenty to offer to an animal lover. Blackpool zoo combines fun and wild animals to offer a family day out, home to 1500 animals, birds, and insects including lions, giraffes, elephants, lemurs, meerkats, reptiles, gorillas, penguins and many more. The zoo has lots to offer for the children and will keep them entertained for hours, a great day out to spend quality time with your family. For the horse lovers, Penny Farm offers holiday makers a day out with a difference. One more way to see unusual animals and birds is to walk along the beach, a great opportunity to see birds, small creatures, and fish, if you’re really lucky you may see a dolphin off shore.

Attractions – the main tourist attraction is Blackpool Tower, the tower opened in 1894 inspired by the Eiffel tower in Paris, it is 158m high and offers a complex of leisure facilities, entertainment and restaurants beneath the tower.
