    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...

    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

    Brilliant trip. Lots to keep you busy on a good day. Circus is brilliant but if you are tall go to the balcony or book front seats. Very short on legroom. The architecture is gorgeous. Buy the big 6 ticket for best value and entry into sea life. Wax works, dungeons, ballroom, etc

    A great big high tower. The queue takes blooming ages and is extremely dull. The view from the top is fantastic. If you have a good day for it then go for it, it will be worth it but don't bother if visibility is poor.

    We had a great visit yo the Blackpool tower last night. It was quick and easy to get in with pre booked tickets. Once in we went to the 4d cinema show which was good and then up the tower to the most fantastic views. It was a dry evening and not too windy which alway helps! The staff were friendly and a good time had by all.

    Great experience getting to the top of the tower with observation deck and viewing glass platform with glass floor facing the see. It's a good value for money including 3d cinema before you get to the top. And a little bar at the top too. 😎

    What a great place! We went up to the top of the tower, also the circus and lastly the tower ballroom. Great views from the tip. The circus was absolutely amazing. It was great to sit in the ballroom and watch the dancers while having a hot chocolate and a slice of cake

    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

    Been here before and COULD NOT WAIT TO COME BACK!!! We have waited just over 4 years to return and we are so glad we did. I love Blackpool and wish I could holiday here all the time. The tower is the jewel in the crown for me and I enjoyed every last second of my time here. We even made it up to the top this time as last time it were too windy. We love the outline of the dead body on a rooftop when looking down from the glass floor. The views are absolutely breathtaking from the tower. There’s even a place up there to grab a drink - how cool can you get. Thank you to all of the nameless people that work so hard for everyone to be able to enjoy themselves so much, you should all be so proud of working at such an amazing place.

    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.

    A MUST 😍 we went up as teenagers in the early 70's decades later it's early April 2022 winds were high today so we had to wait 3 hours it's all about YOUR SAFETY and then it was time now £16.50 Took my 87 yr young active mom and we saw a 3d short movie then off to the elevator and up up and away we went. The views are awesome, slight windy, lots of safety nets everywhere no worries of climbing or falling. GLASS floor for the brave to stand on, even a 380 bar at the top to take that edge off 🤣. You can even say you sent mail from the top of the tower 😂

    Beautiful building full of life and enjoyment. Lots of queues and people dancing in the ballroom. The cafeteria is a bit depressing as the service is very slow to be serving three people The soft drinks cost £2.50 at the counter and £2.00 in the machine situated on the same floor. Magnificent views over the sea and promenade.

    Visited the circus today, which as usual was excellent . Good fun for children and adults. My big gripe is with the tower and its ticketing system , which to be quite honest is a joke , multiple prices , for multiple attractions but even then if you want to buy a 2 attraction ticket including the ballroom and the tower dungeon you can't. The tower eye and ball room which could be £31 or £29.50 according to different ways of working it on the board was actually £22.50 when asked , and again a different price when online. The whole system is a total joke. Don't get me started on hours either , if you come out of the circus for the 2.30pm mid week everything else within is closed. Such a great building being run by a shambolic company is heartbreaking

    The 4D film before you go up the tower is a brilliant bonus. Smooth ride up and plenty of time to spent at the top. Even though it was cloudy we still loved it and could still see down through the glass floor. Beautiful piece of history to enjoy

    An experience never to be lost. Had a great time although a bit blustery. As a group it was amazing. The view from the top is breathtaking. And also witnessed a proposal of marriage on the glass floor. Brilliant

    We had great time here it was the kids first time to the top and loved it . Along with the 4 d cinema experience was excellent. We had a few drinks at the top of tower which were a little expensive but we didn't mind. I didn't get his name but he talked quite fast who worked next to the lift he was very chatty and welcoming our little boy liked him said he's very funny. We opted out of the photo to buy they were super expensive £20 and rising it's not worth that much the zoo was half the price for same product. The store was also expensive thanks We had a great time

    A trip up this iconic structure is a must if you’re visiting Blackpool. We did the Tower Eye which is a trip to the top and includes a ‘4d’ film show. The 4d experience was ok but I could manage without it - the top of the tower is great with views of the surrounding area and an area with a glass floor that you look down through if you’re brave enough. We were lucky to have nice weather - might be different in the rain. Quite busy at the top and a little waiting for the lift but not too much of an issue. Staff were very friendly and overall good value.

    Loved the trip to the top but was too crowded there needs to be a limit on people at the top. Neither myself nor other wheelchair user could get round. The circus was brilliant. Some exceptionally talented acts on plus the clown and ring master we're very funny. Couldn't find the Charlie Cairoli exhibition unfortunately. Highly recommend the 4d experience even if only for the free shower lol.

    Sometimes, when you hear people raving about a place, you go along and find it a disappointment. I'm happy to say that this is not the case with the Blackpool Tower ballroom. What an amazing place. We sat watching couples dancing and listening to the famous organ. A wonderful experience. Had afternoon tea which enhanced the whole experience. Brilliant.

  • 5/5 Barry J. 6 months ago on Google
    The 4D movie was excellent and the top of the tower was amazing. Definitely a must do. I've been a Blackpool resident for 46 years and this was my first time up the tower with my visiting American relatives. Loved it.

    A nice visit to this well known landmark. Didn't go up to the observation deck due to the cost, instead we wandered up to the mini golf which was £3.50 and a good near hour of fun with some friends.

    We went to see the circus at Blackpool tower. We took my step daughter who is 11. But this definitely is a show for all the family with lots of silly jokes and adult humour. Some impressive acts! Definitely something nice and different to do.

  • 5/5 Eli B. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a great tower. Amazing view from the top. Night time is illuminated and has an incredible attraction. You can see it from a distance.

  • 5/5 gary g. 10 months ago on Google
    Love the tower, The whole experience is really good, and the views from the top are phenomenal. The trip up to the top is really exciting and educational with facts about the tower. We took our foster daughter to the top to help conquer her fears and she done it she was over the moon with herself, she didn't do the glass floor but she went right to the top really pleased with her.

  • 4/5 Sarah T. 10 months ago on Google
    The show was spectacular and my kids (2yo and 4yo) were mesmerised by the different acts. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Only complaint was the volume of the music, it was consistently too loud. During the interval my husband asked for some earplugs which made the second half much more enjoyable!

  • 4/5 Kevin C. 8 months ago on Google
    Afternoon tea in the ballroom was lovely. Once finished you could sit back and listen to the organ player and watch people dancing (or get up yourself if you can. The circus is amazing and highly recommended!

    This was my first time doing the Blackpool Tower Eye and was well worth the money. Glass Floor made me feel Nauseous at first due to looking down vertically but, after a glass of Chardonnay, I overcame that fear. The Views were undeniably awesome. Definitely do the Tower again.

    So we bought a mix of attraction tickets which was cheaper. First was the blackpool tower. Showed our tickets at the front and we went to the level for the tower. 4d show first which I though was really good and well edited. Once we watched that we walked around to the tower lifts and waited in line. The gentleman I from of the lift was pleasant and funny too which I liked. Once we emerged from the left at the top you are greeted by the amazing glass floor and glass windows! Wow great views at the top. More levels for you to go to but just bear in mind they are steep stairs heading up. Very clean and tidy and no issues at all! Loved it! Well done folks

    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

    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.

    Have to prebook...... Fair few people in a each slot, some bts aren't as clean as perhaps they should be (toilets weren't great/well signposted)...... Experience of the tower at the top was great, views amazing..... Glass walk was fab 👍 And there's a bar... Which we forgot about 😭 Have a drink at 410 feet.... 🍺💪 Children enjoyed it too 😊

    Me, my wife, sister and my disabled mum went to Blackpool Tower as my mum has never been up there and for a old building they sure have done a great job on making it wheelchair friendly so everyone can experience the amazing views. The prices are at a fair price and the staff are very friendly and helpful I would highly recommend people to go and enjoy the experience

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    A very pleasant few hours watching some talented people doing their moves. Not to mention the amazing organists on the Wurlitzer. Food was very tasty and staff are lovely too. Well worth the experience.

    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!
