    Fantastic experience, I highly recommend going with a group of friends of coworkers, it's really good fun. The actors are hilarious, the prices are fair for the experience, and the drop tower is actually unexpected! Loved this experience.

    Had a brilliant time going to the top of the tower. We even spotted our car from the top of the tower in the car park below. My wife and sons loved it here, So we went back across to see the illustrations. It was amazing, definitely worth the experience...

    Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant... This was my first dungeon experience, and it did not disappoint. The live actors were soooo good the scares were cleverly done and not knowing what to expect and from whom or were all added to the experience. We had a blast, highly recommended

    The best experience ever. You're not allowed to take pictures inside but it's been a horror comedy show and very good actors. Definitely will go back again

    We went out of season and had only a small wait going up to the top. The 4d experience was amazing and our daughter really loved it. The views from the top and glass floor even on a miserable day are totally worth it. What fantastic history and so easily explained. It's beautiful at night too, such a shame the area is so run down

    Great fun experience for an hour where you do actually learn a fair bit as well as some thills and frights. Good for the whole family as long as your kids aren't too young.

    Visiting the Tower, doing the "Tower Eye" and the "Tea for 2 in the ballroom", and would thoroughly recommend both! Tower Eye - despite having a fear of heights I felt I needed to step outside my comfort zone, and really pleased I did! Everything from the 4D cinema show to the views from the top were superb. I personally couldn't stand on the clear floor section, but there's ample room to walk around it without it being an issue. The views are however superb! Guide time says about 45 mins and I found that pretty accurate. Tea-for-two in the Ballroom - What a great way to spend some relaxing time, and see the iconic Ballroom! The staff are really friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere relaxing. The food provided was well presented, tasty, and great quality. Just being able to sit, relax and watch many dancers was superb. Whilst I could have joined them if I wanted to, I have 2 left feet. Whilst I did the Tea for two, you can go in and just have a tea / coffee, and experience the relaxing atmosphere.

    I didn't know what to expect. The Dungeon was part of a pick n mix deal. We really enjoyed the experience and judging by the people with us they where also having a good time. The actors in the Dungeon where very good and entertaining. The ride at the end was a bit of a shock 😅. Well worth a visit.

    This is a great experience. My little girl who is 5 and loves spooky stuff can't stop talking about it. Telling everyone how it was her favourite part of her holiday. All the actors are fantastic. Especially the girl in the doctors room. Thought that room was the scariest. The staff were amazing too. They let my partner and I take turns of the ride at the end as the wee one wasn't tall enough for it so I got to go on it myself. (Please note it isn't suitable for all 5 year olds, mines it just scared of nothing. Lol)

    Been to Blackpool about 20 times in my life and never been up the tower. Decided to go up this time and really enjoyed it. The glass bottom was great but wow did it make my stomach go! Stopped off for a coffee on the way back down, the coffee shop itself looks out onto the sea which is nice.

    Wow an absolutely wonderful experience going to the top of the tower. The views were amazing from the top. Lift up so far then you can walk the few steps onto the next two levels if you are brave enough. The glass floor is wonderful to look down onto the road below. A visit into the Ballroom I found was the very good,there us a bar Inside , grab yourself a drink and sit at a table and listen to the organ being played while watching people 💃 dancing .

    Really enjoyed this tour. Loved the history of the tower. Staff on the lifts were great craic. Views are amazing. Went to the ballroom and was blown away by how stunning it was. Great to see people just getting up and dancing in such a fab location. The glass floor was kind of scary but it had to be done! Really liked the 3D movie beforehand too. Definitely worth the money

    A very slick and atmospheric performance. Compared to Edinburgh and York, I found the stories a bit weak, but you can only work with what you've got. Don't want to give too much away, but I was impressed by the leeches. Unfortunately, I was tried as a witch, so I'm writing this from beyond the grave. 🧙‍♀️

    We decided to visit the Tower Eye. Weather was very poor (no fault of tower eye). Staff very friendly and helpful. 3D cinema looking very dated (needs bringing upto date with 4K). Tower glass floor was great. Open air viewing OK. Long wait times for lifts this is due to limit on people viewing I think. Photo booth poor. Gift shop is a missed opportunity. Lot of gifts are cheap tat. Quality souvenirs of the tower were nowhere to be seen. Overall we left the tower eye disappointed.

    It was our first time visiting, great experience myself and my husband had a great time. Amazed how things move by themselves and still wondering how I felt the creatures crawl under my legs whilst sitting. Thank you for the experience

    Plenty to see and do . Suggest getting a day pass online . Ideal for bed weather all indoors

  • 5/5 Hayley T. 5 months ago on Google
    Blackpool Tower Dungeons were awesome, informative and interactive - I was chosen to be a 'volunteer' from the audience 3 times which can be a lil embarrassing but I embraced it 🤣 loved the experience 🖤 Not as scary as I expected though 🖤

  • 5/5 waleed A. 7 months ago on Google
    great experience. You will watch a short movie before going up the tower. Try to research weather conditions before you go so you can see the whole city

  • 5/5 Maxine P. 8 months ago on Google
    Love Blackpool Tower. It is breathtaking at the top. The glass floor is awesome. There's recently been added flowers everywhere which makes it even better. Highly recommended.

    Brilliant day out! Party of 4, the youngest was 8! He was a little scared at times but was in fits of giggles laughing at his dad screaming like a girl!! The actors were very professional! Highly recommended.

    Went on the heritage tour of the tower. Very interesting, lots of information given by an entertaining guide

  • 5/5 Lynnmarie J. 1 year ago on Google
    The cast is frightfully amazing and really friendly when you have questions or need to know something. They're hilarious and the experience was absolutely wonderful. You get a mixture of delight while learning about the history of blackpool. absolutely wonderful. The escape room is absolutely amazing too and the family and I had a wonderful time. Thank you!

    Fantastic place to visit. Don't want to spoil it for others but the way it's put together is great. Heart thumping moments and funny bits, especially when you meet the judge. Would highly recommend

  • 5/5 JD R. 10 months ago on Google
    My Husband and I visited the Ballroom in Blackpool Tower last week, it's a really beautiful place we just payed £3.50 each to go up to the Gallery and watch people dance, but you can pay to have high tea and have a dance if you want or just have a drink.

  • 5/5 Steven S. 11 months ago on Google
    A must do trip to the top of the tower for anyone visiting Blackpool. The 4d movie before going up is good, but i think they need to upgrade it to the new, more modern 4d flying theatre experience.

  • 5/5 Mike T. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved it! We danced for nearly three hours (we drink brakes of course) and it was brilliant. Loads of people there but the venue still seemed spacious. Will be back again next year . Five stars 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 .

    The queue to purchase tickets for the Blackpool Tower Eye wasn't too long and was very reasonably priced as it also includes a 4D Experience. The 4D Experience was incredible, and well presented prior to going up the tower. The queue for the lift was also pretty quick, the guys manning the doors at the bottom today were very funny and spoke to everyone before they got in the lift. The guys inside the lifts will answer any questions and are very quick at answering everything. They definitely know their stuff. Views from the top were amazing, we definitely picked a good day for it. We did have a slight blunder while up the tower due to an absolute crazy woman (complete stranger) who thought it was okay to put a straw in her mouth, blow off the wrapper and then try and stick the same straw back into my child's mouth. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. We informed a member of staff who then radio the manager and a couple of other members of staff. They came up to the top of the tower very quickly to investigate what had happened and had security waiting for the woman at the bottom. If the 2 female members of staff read this, we'd like to thank you for fully checking out the situation for us. It's bizarre that anyone would do that to someone elses child.

    must visit tourist attaction. once in, u have to wait for more people to complete the big group. not a long wait tho. tour includes jump scares and great stories by the actors. each room has its own story which makes for great variety of fun scares. there's also a quick fall ride, merch shop, photo souvenir section and a tavern at the end of the tour.

    Finally made it up to the tower after previous visits had been unsuccessful due to weather. Was really good. There is a 4D film before you go up, then up in a lift and then you can opt to go up further by foot if you like. Staff were really helpful when there was an issue with the tickets. Miss the aquarium that used to be there but obviously not needed now sealife centre is next door but an interactive display would be awesome or an indoor sandpit or similar would be fab

    Lovely tower and observation deck. Staff were super friendly and had a real blast with the 4D experience! For a tourist attraction, the prices were reasonable too!

    A lovely experience for myself my wife and my 2 boys. The money well spent. The gentleman on the phone was so patient to reschedule my bookings because it took me ages to find the parking. The staff gave so warm welcome in every corner of all attractions.a lovely actors at dungeons, a creative and skillful staff at circus. Will really visit again. Thank you to all staff and management. I will definitely visit again.

    Went summer 2022 for first time with my 12 and 11 year old. It was fantastic the actors was very authentic and funny. Gave a good insight to history with a touch of fun. Kind of reminded me of a more grown up version of horrible history’s bbc program that my kids watch. My girls enjoyed it as much as I did and even though they are autistic they loved every minute and joined in when prompted via the actors which was really nice to see.

    Been to Blackpool on numerous occasions but never been up the tower. Decided to go this year and loved it. The 4D show was good also. Fabulous and friendly staff. Unfortunately weather wasn't great so seeing out was limited. Will definitely do again on a sunnier day
