But although the gallery’s past is impressive, its present-day offering is just as intriguing; with a packed program of exhibitions, talks and events all year round, it’s worth checking their website to see what’s currently on.<\/p>\n\n Located on the Central Promenade, the RNLI Visitor Centre<\/em><\/a> is a great tourist destination for visitors to the city and offers a fascinating insight into the history of lifesaving around the UK’s coastline. With nearly 200 years of maritime experience, the RNLI is an organisation with plenty to offer and educate you about. The helpful staff can explain why lifeboats are designed as they are and how incredible technological advances have changed our understanding of coastal waters. You can see the two lifeboats currently in operation from the gallery above the shop and every purchased item goes towards the great work the RNLI do. <\/p>\n The Brooks Collectables and Toy Museum is a must-see for any toy enthusiasts visiting the prominent seaside town. The museum was established as a family business over 70 years ago and has two levels of vintage toys you may remember from your youth. From Star Wars figures to Corgi vehicles, the museum has amassed a wide ranging collection.<\/p>\n Yes, all Blackpool Piers are free to enter and walk on. However, there are a few attractions that cost money to ride like the Ferris wheel and the carousel. You can purchase your tickets on the pier but they must be used on that pier they were bought on. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes, as there’s no entry fee you can enter free of charge and go for a wander. The pleasure beach is a great place to walk, sample the fairground atmosphere, see all the rides close up and enjoy the views. There are also a few restaurants and cafes scattered around so you can grab a bite to eat if you get hungry.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Blackpool is definitely worth visiting! It’s a seaside town in the north of England that’s known for its beaches, amusement parks and piers.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Blackpool is a great place to go for a relaxing beach holiday or for a fun family vacation. The town has a wide range of attractions and activities to keep visitors busy, including several amusement parks, a zoo and plenty of shops and restaurants. The Blackpool Tower is also worth seeing – it’s one of the town’s most famous landmarks.<\/p>\n Coral Island Amusements, Blackpool<\/a>\u00a0by Rept0n1x<\/a> under license CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The pirate themed Coral Island<\/em><\/a> is a destination that sees visitors returning year after year. You can experience family rides such as ‘The Ghost Train’ or try your luck on one of the many family-friendly arcade games with prizes on offer. There are also cafes and restaurants where you can feed your appetite for refreshments whether it be sweet or savoury and on top of that they have a ‘kids eat free’ offer. The spectacular views across Blackpool Bay are an added bonus for picturesque moments away from the fun inside.<\/p>\n\n Blackpool Beach and Sea Front<\/a> by David Dixon<\/a> under license CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The famous beach has been drawing tourists and locals alike since the middle of the 17th Century. While its popularity in the 1800s was largely due to the inspired elegance of its grand limestone promenade and iconic three piers, those looking for a beach holiday need look no further than this picturesque shoreline. Relax under a sun umbrella, grab a bite from one of the many independent seafood restaurants along the shore or take a stroll down a pier as you listen to carousel music — no matter what kind of experience you seek, a day at Blackpool Beach won’t disappoint. <\/p>\n Boasting almost 390 acres of lush parkland and landscaped gardens, it has been a local favourite since opening its doors to the public in 1926. Every year, millions of visitors flock to the famous Italian Gardens and a large lake, as well as enjoy activities such as pitch-and-putt and cycling along the BMX trails. Voted the ‘Best park in the United Kingdom’ numerous times, Stanley Park<\/em><\/a> is a must-visit! <\/p>\n Penny Farm is run by the World Horse Welfare Association which are an organisation that campaigns to prevent the export of live horses for slaughter. Founded in 1927, the organisation has saved thousands of horses nationwide. Today, Penny Farm<\/em><\/a> offers visitors the chance to walk around the paddocks, see the many horses up close, and with a caf\u00e9 on site, have a bite to eat afterward.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
