"Got kids? Tired of holiday parks?
Blackpool is the place for you!!
They've got everything that children love.
If you like theme parks, Blackpool pleasure beach is for you. With hundreds of rides for 3 year olds to 103 year old, it suits everybody.
If rollarcoasters are your thing why not try 'The Big One' named tallest and fastest rollarcoaster in the world, It will give you a memory you'll never forget.
Or how about giving your friend a race on the Grand National, two side-by-side coasters racing along dips and turns, which makes your legs like jelly.
There is also, the big dipper, the rollarcoaster and the space invader, A rollarcoaster in the dark!!!
And why not go and see one of the fantastic shows, such as Elcipse, Hot Ice or Mystique.

But if you don't like themeparks and just enjoy a good swim, straight across the road is the sandcastle, which now contains the world's longest water slide, or maybe a quiet swim in sleepy lagoon is for you and the kids, or the wave pool!!!

If you like the water but don't like swimming, why not try The sealife centre, with jellyfish, seahorses and Why not go underwater where the sharks swim above your head! It's a truly wonderful feeling.

If you're into celebrities, why not go the louis tussauds wax works and rub shoulders with posh and becks, kylie, gordon ramsey, Elvis and many more.
And while your there pop into roy and hayley's cafe for a bite to eat, and have a natter with the rest of the Coronation street cast!

Of course you can't come to blackpool and not go up the Blackpool tower!
With an indoor aquarium, dinosaur ride, tower ballroom (dust of those dancing shoes), huge indoor playarea Jungle jims, or the hornpipe gallery which all kids love to join in and win prizes while you chill out with a cold beer!
But you can't leave without seeing the spectacular tower circus, with wonderful acts from around the world and not forgetting the mischief that the tower clown Mooky gets up to, truly the funniest clown I've ever seen.

You can also visit blackpool zoo, the model village, stanley park and of course the BEACH!!!!!

So take a trip and you'll want to go back for more!"
