What to expect

Blackpool Tower is a tourist attraction in Blackpool, England, which was opened to the public on 14 May 1894. It is 518 feet tall and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Irish Sea, Blackpool FC's Bloomfield Road, and on clear days, the Isle of Man, Southport, and distant mountainous regions like the Lake District or Pennines. The tower is part of an entertainment complex that includes the Tower Circus, the Tower Ballroom, and roof gardens. Visitors can enjoy the Blackpool Tower Eye, which features a glass floor and a 4D Cinema Experience. The complex also offers a variety of family-friendly activities, including the Blackpool Tower Dungeon and the Blackpool Tower Circus, which features hilarious slapstick antics and death-defying stunts. The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is another popular attraction, where visitors can dance the day away to the sounds of the famous Wurlitzer organ or simply sit and watch the world dance in this magical Victorian setting
