Originally a fashionable resort reserved exclusively for the wealthy in the 1800's, Blackpool has become the place for fun activities as well as rest and relaxation. Once built in 1846, the railway provided affordable transportation thus triggering the town's popularity among all types of holiday seekers.
Casinos and live shows also provide ample entertainment throughout the night. Most of these attractions can be found on the seven-mile long promenade where the famous illuminated tram runs. Additionally, the amusement park Pleasure Beach features the world's highest roller coaster, and located directly on the beachfront, a 518-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower, the Black Pool Tower, stands. An aquarium, zoo, and circus are located inside the structure as well as a breathtaking view from the top.
The real life versions trundle along twelve miles of Promenade. They're as much a tourist attraction as a vital public transport system carrying more than 120,000 people on a busy summer's day. So hop on for the ride of your life...there's so much to see.
If you prefer to walk, then marvel at the musical high-tide organ which joins the ever-growing range of giant sculptures and eye-catching artworks on New South Promenade.
You'll also find the world's biggest dance hall mirror ball, measuring 20 feet across, on this section of the Prom running from Blackpool's southern boundary at Starr Gate up towards the northern entrance of Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
