it was very good experience to go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, around October they have beautiful illumination that we can see from around 6 pm until 10 pm. While waiting for the lights, we could even have fun in arcades.

Very tall. Very nice. Very amazing. The view from the top is incredible. We went at the back end of summer so it was busy but was definitely not crowded at the top. There was loads of room to walk freely round. 10/10
