    Hi there the market is open tuesdays thursdays fridays and saturdays and also bank holidays.

    The tram does go all the way to fleetwood and will drop you 1 minute away from market.

    If you look on ebay for blackpool vouchers you will find half price for nearly everything but not the zoo - but i do see them on the bus tickets so keep an eye out and you might find some. (i ordered the yellow ones last year from the jet petrol stations and everywhere accepted them if you order now the ebayer should get them to you just in time).

    The bus leaves the caravan site every 30 minutes or so and drops you close to the seafront _bus journey about 20 minutes.

    When you get off the bus go to the front and look for the new register office where poeple get married the tousist information is there also they have loads of stuff and some freebies ask about half price tickets for the zoo you never know.

    If you have a family the best saving will be the bus and tram family day ticket you have unlimited travel on both for £9 for all of you.

    Have fun.

    I love Blackpool Zoo, better than Chester IMO - anyway , don't know of any deals but if you have any Tesco vouchers you can exchange them for tickets for Blackpool Zoo - don't think I've ever paid to get in!

    Lytham St Annes is nice for a day out, you can have a lovely walk down the beach and the town centre itself is nice with plenty of shops and cafes. Have fun!

    Hi k Duffy, if you look up vouchercodes.co.uk, register and type in Blackpool zoo voucher codes it directs you to zoo website and you get 10% off if booking online. I'm sure if you pay online your tickets, they are valid for 28 days.
    Also the Coke zone is giving 2 for 1 printable vouchers for the Tower or any other merlin attractions such as dungeons and the sea life centre etc.
    You can also get 2 for1 on vouchercodes.co.uk for pleasure beach too. I've just read Stanley park is meant to be really nice and free also . Hope this is of help to you have a great holiday.

    Im in Blackpool this weekend. Didn't buy the 'big ticket' as not doing a lot of the activities. Got 1/2 price tower tickets £7 per adult, worth it for the 4D cinema, in the tourist info across the road from the tower. The zoo is a few pounds cheaper if you book online the day before but tbh we paid full price. However, with proof of zoo tickets and leaflet given at zoo reception you can get free pleasure beach entry(usually £6) OR £5 off a wristband. Hope this helps you, enjoy yourself!

    Only 'deal' on at Blackpool zoo ATM is for local residents of Blackpool, with postcodes of FY1 - FY5, therefore if you're just visiting you wouldn't be able to claim that discount.

    However, as others have stated, you can save 10% by booking online, or if you order Tesco Day's Out vouchers, you can use £10 vouchers for admission (change can't be given).

    You can also get a discounted price at hotels, you might be able to pick up your tickets at Marton Mere, you will have to check, but if you do, you'll be given a 10% voucher at the zoo to use in the cafe or shop.

    :-)
