I have no idea what I thought when I booked this trip but its done and we had a great time. We went at Halloween and did a 1 night overnight stay. We booked all attractions in advance so we could save a couple of pounds. We ravelled by tram using a day pass which to our delight was so convenient and fast!
We arrived late in the afternoon and headed straight to Ripley's Believe it or Not. This is an attractions with lots of weird things to see and read about. Some exhibits were interactive. Ripley's is located by the Blackpool Pleasure Beach on the Southern Pier. We then headed to the Pleasure Beach theme park. We did the theme park as part of Halloween's Fright Nights and would highly recommend. it wasn't busy and did all the rides (bear in mind that not all the rides were open). It also hosts has the best water ride I have ever been on in my entire life. We were so soaked and highly recommend the ride ( the name is Valhalla). There were also lots of live actors in scary costumes walking around trying to scare you which added a spooky element to the night! The Fright Nights are recommended for kids aged 12 and over but it is absolutely upto you. Passejo del Terror was the best in terms of giving us the scary feeling where we were chased by scary beings through the whole attraction. This attraction is not included in the Pleasure Beach tickets and you will need to pay separately for this! A great night was had at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
During the night, you can see the Illuminations dotted along the beach which were quite nice to see. There's also a lot of game arcades everywhere so do carry coins to get your gambling hat on!
The next day, we headed to the central pier to do some rides and play in the arcade. Mahish loves arcade games and for £10 we managed to do quite a lot of games. The rides came be paid for individually or you can buy tickets for multiple rides which works out cheaper. After this, we headed to Blackpool Dungeon which is located in the Blackpool Tower. We booked combination tickets for the escape room and the dungeon. We first did the jail- themed escape room and unfortunately, after lots of bickering and arguments, did not manage to get out (we are quite bad at escape rooms but love the experience). The dungeons were similar to all the other dungeons with the same set-up but the history is mainly focused on Lancaster!
Before our train, we walked around the town centre which was very big and also had a stroll by the beach (thankfully, the weather was decent!). There's plenty of places to eat at different price ranges. We stayed by Blackpool Tower in Blackpool North with great access to attractions, eateries and transport.
We had a great 24 hours to get our Halloween spirits tamed!
