Blackpool Tower Eye
Sarah Catherine Jones
Offering the best views across the North West of England, Blackpool Tower Eye is a must-visit for the whole family. And it’s going to be a 10/10 experience over Christmas, with plenty of festive activities to be announced soon, as well as a range of Christmas drink options in the sky bar, Bar 380.
Begin your journey to the top of Blackpool Tower with a visit to the 4D cinema. You’ll get the chance to experience some seriously special sensory effects as you learn about the rich history of this iconic venue, which opened to the public in 1894.
While you’re travelling back in time, you can go one step further and get stuck into Dino Mini Golf, which has nine holes in total. At just £3.50 per person, it’s a great budget-friendly activity that’s perfect for family fun and team building.
Once you’ve explored the lower levels, it’s time to take the lift up to the top. Head 380ft into the sky to enjoy stunning panoramic views across the Fylde coastline, and experience the thrilling SkyWalk platform — if you’re feeling brave enough! You’ll be rewarded with great views of the resort below you.
We’d also recommend heading up to the top outside levels of Blackpool Tower to experience the elements at 416ft above the ground. You’ll get to see the North West of England spread out before you, with fantastic views over Bowland and Lake District. You can even spot Liverpool on a clear day.
If you prefer your views with a bit more comfort, pop over to the sky-high Bar 380, which is on the same viewing deck. It offers everything from cocktails to mocktails (including a few specials for kids) as well as beers and soft drinks. Top tip – pre-book your drink with your ticket. You’ll save a good few quid!
Whether you’re rounding off a fun family day or beginning your evening in style, the Tower Eye is definitely the jewel in Blackpool’s crown.
