    what do you mean by 'finest'?

    Pleasure beech is doing a saver offer where you get £10 off tiuckets though you could probably find something better tbh.

    Other than that can't really think of anymore 'finest' attractions!

    When we used to go in the summer there used to be a little hut on the seafront around by the tower that used to give you discounts. I only thought people went to blackpool for the lapdancing clubs and arcades.

    I'm taking the kids to Blackpool tomorrow for a few days so have been looking for discounts also.

    The Pleasure Beach is only open weekends at the moment and they're website says a limited amount of rides are open for small children due to construction within the park.

    Think we might be just wandering along the beach front and maybe the zoo.

    If you find any discounts, can you let me know too??

    Thanks,

    you do know the front is being done up so is all dug up and isnt allowing cars down one side and don't look so good. In the town centre its ok down near the pleasure beach

    the zoo is good think if you book online there is a discount

    not sure the tower is open as that is being refurbished

    also the trams arent running either i dont think

    you could go to the sandcastle if you bring your swimming stuff not sure on prices as i get it massively reduced as i live in blackpool

    also it was raining today just to up date ya on the weather lol

  • Go and see Showzam.
    The main exhibition is free and is on at the Winter Gardens.
    Lots of small shows going on all over the town as well.

    I would recomend the zoo, we went in October, the kids enjoyed the penguins and I could have spent all day watching the baby gorilla, we all enjoyed watching the lions just after they had been fed.
    Even if the Pleasure Beach was open, if you have little ones, I would not recomend it, it was a total rip off with all the construction work at the moment.
    The tourist information normally has discount tickets for local attractions.

    HTH FiFi :)
