About Blackpool Tower Top
At the top of Blackpool Tower, get ready to step onto a stunning glass-floored viewing platform that offers breathtaking panoramic views across the coastline, Irish Sea, and the famous promenade below. On clear days, you can see for miles, while the experience is enhanced by the fresh sea breeze and the tower’s Victorian-era charm, making it both thrilling and atmospheric for all ages.
The North West's Highest View
Soar to the top of one of Britain's most iconic landmarks and take in a panorama that stretches for miles. On a clear day you can spot Bowland, the Lake District, Liverpool and even the Isle of Man - all from the highest observation deck in North West England. There's simply nowhere else in the region where you can see this much.
Walk on Air with the Thrilling Glass SkyWalk
Step out onto the famous SkyWalk - a 5cm thick glass viewing platform suspended 380ft above the Blackpool Promenade. Look straight down to the seafront below and out across the Irish Sea. It's the kind of heart-in-mouth moment the whole family will be talking about long after they've touched back down.
A Full Sky-High Experience - Not Just a View
The Blackpool Tower Top is more than an observation deck. Your visit begins with an immersive 4D cinema experience bringing the Tower's 130-year history to life with special sensory effects - included with every ticket at no extra cost. Then cap it off at Bar 380, the only bar on the Fylde Coast where you can sip a drink with the entire coastline laid out before you.
