Views & landmarks / BLACKPOOL

The Blackpool Tower Top

The viewing attraction inside Blackpool’s most recognisable landmark gives the coastline a different scale: the piers and long strip of promenade become a map beneath you. There is a glass SkyWalk and a 4D introduction, so choose this for the height experience as well as the view. Visibility and wind matter more than the temperature at street level; a cloudy, blustery afternoon is a poor time to make this your only booked highlight.

Before you go

Leave a gap after your visit for lunch or the promenade. If the Top cannot operate, Showtown nearby makes a sensible change of plan, subject to its own admission availability; it is not included in a Top ticket.
