From a brisk walk along the promenade to a trip to the zoo - here are five things to do today in Blackpool - Friday, March 20
Beach and Promenade walk
There’s nothing quite like a trip to the seaside, and Blackpool is one of the best beach resorts you will find in the UK. It was even recently awarded its first ever Blue Flag. The whole family can enjoy a brisk walk along the beach and enjoy an ice cream along the promenade. There is plenty of space for sandcastles, and family games, so you really can make a day of it.
Discover a unique collection of strange, unusual and extraordinary exhibits as you journey through eight themed galleries, across two amazing floors and witness the astonishing world of Ripley’s Believe It or Not on South Promenade.
