Attractions of Blackpool with Darren and Isobel

  Attractions of Blackpool  

We visited the infamous Blackpool Tower, where we went up to the top and admired the breathtaking views over the sea and right across the whole of Blackpool.
We bravely walked onto the glass floor and looked down at the people who were walking below us. 

We visited the historic Tower Ballroom, where they film the TV show, Strictly Come Dancing. We sat and listened to the organist playing and it wasn't long before some of the group joined in with a couple teaching us a dance called the Caribbean Calypso. 

  We were entertained by the fantastic Circus. What a great display from the Acrobatic team who were dressed up as the Storm Troopers from Star Wars. The clowns gave us a lot of laughs playing many pranks on each other.

 At the Sea Life Centre, we experienced the rock pools and were able to see small crabs, star fish and mermaids purse which carry the baby ray fish. An amazing experience was walking through the glass tunnel as the sharks and many different species of fish and marine life passed over our heads. 

We spent the morning celebrity spotting at Madame Tussaud’s having great fun taking photos with all the different stars and characters such as The Royal Family and Shrek. We couldn’t believe how life like they were! 

  At the amusement arcades we played on the 2p machines and tried our luck to win some of the great prizes.
