Are you planning a trip to Blackpool for a long weekend, midweek break or a Summer Holiday? If so, buy the “Big Ticket” for £40 online for BIG savings on Blackpool’s top Merlin attractions … that’s just £5.70 per attraction! (the Sealife centre alone costs £16 per person if tickets are purchased individually)!
Valid for 90 days, the ticket is perfect for use over a few days. You can visit each of the 7 attractions once (I would allow about 2 hours per attraction).
There’s plenty here for families with the world-famous Tower Circus which lasts for 2 hours with an interval mid-way. There are new circus performers every season joining the hilarious Mooky the Clown & his side-kick, Mr Boo & the wonderful water finale … always a great show. Then there’s Jungle Jims … an indoor adventure playground for the kids (have a coffee while the kids wear themselves out)! After that, why not take the lift up to the top of the Tower & walk on the glass floor? Plate glass windows from floor to ceiling allow extensive views across to the Lake District on a clear day. Are you brave enough? Catch your breath in the Ballroom & enjoy the live organ music, watch the dancers & wonder at the fabulous surroundings. A traditional afternoon tea is available to purchase.
The final port of call in the Tower itself is the Dungeons. This attraction traces Lacashire history over the last 1000 years eg the Pendle witches. The attraction has real actors, & is funny-scary as opposed to scary-scary! There is the option of a drop-ride at the end for those who are less faint-hearted than me!
Attraction number 6 is the Sealife Centre … new for 2013 is the option to snorkel with the sharks! & the ever-popular tunnel is back.
Finally, there’s Mme Tussauds Waxworks to see … an interactive feast of light entertainment. Family favourites like Ant & Dec make an appearance, as well as stars of stage & screen, pop stars & prominent members of today’s Royal Family. Don’t forget your camera as you can get close to the models for some great shots of you with Cheryl, Wayne Rooney, Susan Boyle, William & Kate or your own favourite star!
