Being one of the most visited destinations in the UK as well as the most popular seaside resort in the country, Blackpool offers the tourist a wide array of things to do whenever they are visiting the city. Despite its popularity, there is no lack of lodging as there are numerous
hotels in Blackpool to take advantage of, all of which have information about what to see and do when you are in the city. The following will give you an idea of some of the more popular venues.
Blackpool Zoo – Located only ten minutes from central Blackpool on the M55, the zoo houses over 1,500 exotic animals in very distinctive enclosures. Gorilla Mountain is an award-winning exhibit and the miniature railway that runs around the entire park is worth riding whenever visiting the zoo.
Sea Life Centre – Located between the Blackpool Tower and the central pier along the Golden Mile is the Blackpool Sea Life Centre. By far this is one of the most visited marine life aquariums in the UK as well as being highly educational and a fascinating underwater adventure.
Sandcastle Waterpark – Located at South Beach and the former home of the Open Air Baths, Sandcastle is the largest indoor water park in the UK and opened in 1986. This is fun for the whole family so you should include this venue in your holiday itinerary.
Winter Gardens – Originally opened in 1878, the Winter Gardens were designed and developed as an indoor entertainment establishment. Today, it is recognised as being one of the UK’s architectural wonders along with the Blackpool Tower and Blackpool’s Grand Theatre.
