Blackpool Tower & Ballroom
Blackpool Tower
A 158-metre tower completed in 1894 and modelled on the Eiffel Tower, with a glass observation deck at the top overlooking the coast and a world-famous ballroom beneath it.
Blackpool Tower is a Grade II listed building. The Eye of the Tower at the top has a glass-floored Skywalk, and on clear days you can see the Lake District and the mountains of Wales. The ballroom inside the tower base is dazzling with gold decoration. Visitors can dance on the floor to the Wurlitzer organ, and it is also a filming location for the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing special. The tower also has a circus and a dungeon horror experience. Each attraction can be bought separately or as a combined ticket, and booking online is cheaper. The tower usually opens around 10:00, and closing times change with the seasons.
