Blackpool Attractions

By: .JohnSmith.

Blackpool is the most popular tourist destination in the United Kingdom. It is located on the North West coast to the East or Ireland. It really grew into a holiday destination in Victorian times, and became so popular that 3 piers were built to cope with all the visitors. It was in the late 1800 that what is now known as the Pleasure Beach started, the Blackpool Tower was constructed and in the early 1900 Stanley Park was built. Blackpool grew and grew and is said to now have more accommodation than the whole or Portugal.
Blackpool's attractions have something for all the family and something for all tastes. From the white knuckle rides at the pleasure beach to the adrenaline inducing reverse bungee on the South Pier all the adrenaline junkies are taken care of. For the children the Sandcastle water park is a great day out with the duelling dragons, Master Blaster, Bongo Bongo, and the sidewinder it will keep everyone happy for hours. The Blackpool Tower is 518 ft tall and was inspired by the Eifel Tower in Paris, it has a very impressive Ball room, a Circus, a newly refurbished children's play zone called Jungle Jims and not forgetting the glass floor at the top of the tower. If you are looking for something more sedate then you could try a day in Stanley Park with its beautiful Italian Rose Gardens and Boating lake, or maybe a walk round the Model Village. You could try the Grundy art gallery in the centre of town or even get a little greener at the Solaris centre and learn about green energy.

Just as most holiday resorts are closing down for the winter Blackpool Illuminations are switched on. This is the biggest free light show in the world.
There really is so much to do in Blackpool it would take weeks to describe it all.
