Attractions of Blackpool with Åse & Oli

 Attractions of Blackpool 

The sun was shining as we made our way to explore the bright lights of Blackpool. 
                                               

Madame Tussauds Museum was always a must! We loved getting up close and personal with our favourite celebrities. What a fantastic experience it was as we posed with the wax work figures. We couldn’t believe how life like they were. 


We were very brave as we climbed 380ft into the sky to the top of The Blackpool Tower and experienced the thrilling SkyWalk. The daredevils amongst us walked onto the five-centimetre-thick glass viewing platform where we could see all the way down to the pavement.
                                       


As if that wasn't enough excitement for the day we took a trip on the famous Blackpool Ferris Wheel which provided fantastic views of Blackpool and the coastline. 


You would always find us on the dance floor showing off our groovy moves. 


All the fun of the fair was had as we whizzed around on the waltzer, crashed into each other on the dodgem cars and rode the elegant carousel. 


 We spent the an afternoon at Ribby Hall Village Zoo! What a fantastic variety of animals from all over the globe and for a small zoo it was really doing its bit for wildlife. We saw some tiny marmoset monkeys and even had some fallow deer coming to say hello, trying to have a nibble on our coats and bags! 


The Blackpool Sea Life Centre was fascinating. We learnt so much about their ongoing conservation projects and how plastic is destroying our oceans. We absolutely loved walking through the huge glass tunnel where sharks, turtles and stingray swam above us. 


It was the perfect day for a paddle on the lake where we took pedalo boats out around the small island. We became wildlife spotters and as the lake was surrounded by mature woodland the cute ducklings and squirrels weren’t difficult to spot!
