Blackpool Tower Overview
The 156m (518-ft) Blackpool Tower houses a ballroom, an aquarium and play area and dominates the skyline along Blackpool's lively promenade. Most visitors head to the top of the tower for views back across the city or out across the Irish Sea. The viewing deck includes the Walk of Faith, a clear glass platform enabling visitors to see the world passing by beneath their feet. Attractions at the tower include the Tower Circus featuring traditional acts. In 2004, the circus introduced workshops where children can learn skills such as plate spinning, juggling and acrobatics. Also for the younger visitors, Jungle Jims is one of Europe's biggest indoor adventure playgrounds featuring ball pools, slides and climbing nets. The famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom hosts dances and concerts in its ornate halls.
