Hi,
My Mum is taking my son and niece (10 and 12 years) to Blackpool- Tomorrow!! for a couple of days - last minute thing. She's planning on taking them to Sandcastle Water-park and the Tower.
1 Is there anything else they should do/look out for.
2 has anyone any money saving ideas or know of any vouchers??
3 Any advice gratefully received

Sorry for the late post.
they're all so excited!!!
thanks in advance

Blackppol tower often has discounts, have you checked their website?

And the sandcastle has a few prices - one for entry only, then a couple of others for the different slides and an unlimited slide pass for everything (used to have a queue jump pass on it, but haven't been in 12 months!)

We got ours cheap by booking well in advance - again have you checked the website?

There's plenty of free/cheap things in blackpool, I loved going in treasure island, there's always plenty on and there's a chippy out the back too; cleveleys (down the road) is also quite nice for a change of scene, can get there on the tram.

A few £s of 2ps will keep the kids amused in Coral Island for a while. Any Kelloggs cereal packet vouchers for free adult admission ? Tower Circus is always worth seeing.

The tourist information in the Festival House (the strange shaped building on the prom just north of the tower) usually sell discount vouchers for attractions.

I took my DGD, 14, 14, 10 and 8 there for a break and they loved the zoo, it's a great day out with lots to see and do.

Depending where they're staying lots of guest houses/hotels/caravan sites have money off vouchers for various attractions in the reception area.
