Blackpool and pleasure beach ideas :)

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has been to blackpool recently.
In particular pleasure beach and the family entrainment there.

Were booked to go to marton mere haven resort from the 25 october for a 3 night stay. I havent paid it all off just the booking fee.
It's for my dads birthday and it's our first holiday away with him since my mother died a decade ago. Hes really

Just wondering if its.changed much, the entertainment would be for a 66,35,30,13 and 9 years old.

My dads like a big kid so he's really excited and we want to make it special for him.


Thanks again

Kez :) x

    Hi, a lot depends on your budget I guess. The tower and dungeons are good but can add up to a expensive day out. Although there are loads of vouchers - check the website as u need to pay for different bits individually. The zoo and stanley park are also great but depend on the weather - especially at that time of year. Pleasure Beach is also good -again depends on weather. I know there are a lot of 3 for 2 vouchers for this. Also check out the local authority website for bus/tram tickets - we find this the best way to see the illuminations and get about . My wife/mum like going to Fleetwood/St Annes etc for the day whilst I take my daughter out.Never been to the Sandcastle so not sure what its like .

    If you are looking for a lovely restaurant try Tigis in St Annes. Also fairhaven lake is nice as are the gardens across and along a bit from the lake (cant remember what they are called)

    Also check out the Lindale cafe - everytime we visit we go there - food is great and reasonably priced
