I visited the iconic Blackpool Tower today, but unfortunately only had time to see the 4D cinema and go up the Tower.
You can spend a full day inside as it has so much to do with its Circus and Tower Dungeons just a couple of examples.
Blackpool Tower is a tourist attraction in Blackpool, Lancashire. Opened to the public in 1894, the 518ft (158m) tall structure is the 120th tallest freestanding tower in the world.
Blackpool Tower is also the common name for Tower Buildings – the red brick 3-storey entertainment complex at the foot of the tower. The complex contains the Tower Circus, the Tower Ballroom and an aquarium.
Blackpool Tower and Tower Buildings were built by a company headed up by former Blackpool Mayor John Bickerstaffe. The tower itself was inspired by the design of the Eiffel Tower which had opened 5 years earlier.
Usually painted dark red, the top of the structure was painted silver for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations in 1977.
The Blackpool Tower and Tower Ballroom are both Grade 1 listed buildings.
