There are so many things to do in Blackpool i thought i would ,ention some of the good old favourites along with some of the newest attractions Blackpool has to offer. The Sea Life Centre, home to more than 40 fascinating displays allowing close encounters with marvels of marine life and 2005 sees some deadly additions to the display with the UK’s only collection of poisonous sea snakes. Although this may not be your idea of a hip happening hen weekend activity just remember there is going to have to be some ‘recovery’ time penciled in and this could be perfect.
If The Sealife Centre doesn’t take your fancy why not wander a little further down the prom to Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks. Remember going there as a kid? This is probably the closest most of us are going to get to meeting the famous and the infamous from around the world. There are stars of stage and screen, soccer heroes in their own hall of fame and villains galore in the basement chamber of horrors where even the sign above the entrance is dripping in blood. There is bound to be one of your all time favourites hiding in there somewhere.
If all thsi sounds a little too sedate of course there is always the Pleasure Beach! A favourite of everbody offering new thrills on each visit. The Pleasure Beach is home to the tallest rollercoaster in Europe, The Big One. If you have never plucked up the courage to ride The Big One before maybe a hen party is the perfect time. Why not have a forfeit for whoever chickens out! Then there is the brand new ride Infusion. I have not had the opportunity to ride this yet but i cant wait for my next day out in Blackpool. I will definately be heading straight to The Pleasure Beach to try it out. and of course we cant forget the good old favourite Big Dipper, Avalanche, Grand National and The Revolution.
One last point, dont forget to pick up some crab sticks from the seafood stall near the entrance. They really are worth a try!
If The Pleasure beach didnt get that adrenaline pumping enough or maybe you just fancy something a little different you can always pop accross the road to The Sandcastle. White knuckle water chutes, swirling slides and the giant Typhoon Lagoon wave pool combine to offer a full day of fun amid a ‘tropical climate’ complete with palm trees. This tropical haven now features the fantastic “Caribbean Storm Treehouse”. This multi level interactive water play area includes the Whirlwind, Great White Whipper, Treetops triple family water chute and the Hydrostorm which every few minutes tips 600 gallons of water onto bathers below. In addition there are over 35 other fun interactive features including water cannons, magic jets and water blasters. So if you fancied the caribbean for your hen party but the budget wouldnt quite stretch that far, kick off those flip flops kick back and close your eyes, well maybe not but i am sure you will still have a lot of fun and it is guaranteed to get you in the mood for a wild night out!
One final suggestion! Take a stroll down Blackpool Promenade. Buy a kiss me quick hat and a stick of rock before venturing into Coral Island for a go on the donkey derby. Whatever you decide to do in Blackpool i am sure you will have a great time.
