Places of Interest
Blackpool Tower
Blackpool Tower is a landmark in a Lancashire beach town. This seaside icon features the lavish Tower Ballroom with its gold balconies and the Tower Circus. Visitors can experience the Blackpool Tower Dungeon or take a lift to the Tower Eye for views from the glass SkyWalk.
Blackpool Tower is the ultimate symbol of Lancashire's most famous beach town, standing 158 metres tall over the promenade and the Irish Sea. Opened in 1894 and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, this historic landmark has entertained visitors for generations and remains a classic icon of the British seaside. Its iron framework rises above a variety of attractions located within the base of the building.
The highlight is the Tower Ballroom, a lavish Victorian dance hall featuring a sprung floor, gold balconies, and a massive Wurlitzer organ. Nearby, the Tower Circus continues a long tradition of performances held right between the tower's four legs. Guests can also take a lift up to the Tower Eye for dizzying views from the glass SkyWalk or head downstairs to experience the scares of the Blackpool Tower Dungeon.
