Local attractions and activities in and around Blackpool

There is so much to do and see in Blackpool and to help you get the most out of your time with us we have selected just a few ideas to help you along the way...
 
DAY ONE
Take a stroll down the Promenade into Blackpool to plan the the entertainment during your stay. Whatever time of year it is there is always a fantastic choice of shows to see, and if you tell us when you're going we'll book you into the restaurant for a delicious pre-theatre dinner...
 
 
 
DAY TWO
You can’t visit Blackpool without visiting...
 
 • The Blackpool Tower: there’s so much to do inside, you can spend most of your day in here, and don’t forget the Tower Circus and it’s awesome Water Display as a fantasttic finale to a wonderful day.
 
 • Blackpool Beach: if the weather is kind to you, make the most of the Blue Flag beach - the stretch outside the tower is stunning.
 
  • Sealife Centre: this is one of the UK's best known aquariums and houses Europe's most comprehensive collection of tropical sharks.
 
 • Louis Tussauds Waxworks: with a brand new line-up of models, state-of-the-art themed displays and unique interactive exhibits, the Louis Tussaud’s experience is more amazing than ever!
 
 • Golden Isle Adventure Golf: this spectacular undersea-themed adventure golf course complete with ghostly pirates, sunken treasure and shipwrecks is great fun for all the family.
 
 
DAY THREE
This is a day to relax, unwind, enjoy some fantastic scenery and expore the surrounding area...
 
 • The Lake District: is England's largest National Park and includes Scafell Pike - its highest mountain, Wastwater - its deepest lake, and thriving communities like Keswick and Bowness-on-Windermere, and you can be here in less than an hour. 
 
 • Westmorland Farm Shop: is just off the M6 on the way back to Blackpool so stop for some Lancashire Goodies to take back with you.
 
 • Lytham & St Annes: if you'd rather stay local then take the bus and visit these two lovely villages by the sea where you'll find independent shops and pavement cafes serving great lunches and teas. 
 
 • Funny Girls Cabaret Bar: enjoy a hilarious night out at this famous Cabaret bar in Blackpool and experience a “tongue in cheek” dance spectacular.  Entry price is approximately £5 per person.
 
 
DAY FOUR
Indulge the shopaholic in you...
 
 • Freeport Outlet, Fleetwood: offers a great selection of 50 high street shops all at discounted prices, and what’s more, you can get there by tram.
 
 • Fleetwood Market: operates 5 days a week in the summer and offers great bargains all round.  While you’re there, why not take the passenger ferry across the estuary to Knott End and take a walk round this little village?  On the way back, stop off at Cleveleys, a bustling little village North of Blackpool, again great for shopping and well known for the best fish and chips!
 
 
DAY FIVE
Make sure you visit the 'must see' attractions in Blackpool...
 
 • Blackpool Pleasure Beach: one of Europe’s most visited attractions is great value at around £20 per person for unlimited rides and attractions.   
 
 • Sandcastle Waterworld: take the children for an exhilarating few hours at this fantastic Waterpark. It has 18 slides including the longest indoor rollercoaster waterslide in the world!
 
 
DAY SIX
If you're still not shopped out, there's plenty more shopping experiences to be had...
 
 • Houndshill Shopping Centre: in Blackpool Town is home to Debenhams, M&S and a great variety of high street names, alongside local independentshops. 
 
 • Botany Bay: just 30 miles away, is a one-off shopping experience in an old mill warehouse where you'll find crafts, antiques, furniture, homewares, jewellery and gifts – beware, you’ll need a few hours to enjoy it fully. 
 
 • The Trafford Centre: in Manchester just 45 minutes drive from Blackpool you'll find one of the country’s largest out of town shopping experiences, and the best place outside London for designerwear. 
 
 • Boundary Mill: 45 minutes west from Blackpool is a favourite for those seeking designer and high street bargains at a fraction of the usual retail price.
 

DAY SEVEN
If you’ve played all week and need to unwind...
 
 • Cycle The Promenade: the Promenade stretches for over 10 miles along the sea front, and is completely level and traffic-free (other than the trams of course!), it’s a gentle but refreshing ride for as long or as brief as you want, and you can stop off at any of the attractions on your way. 
 
 • Stanley Park: is wonderfully interactive and has shows for the kids throughout the day.
