Blackpool with a toddler, two nights

[Treesjustturninggreen]

Any ideas? Wondering about the zoo, maybe a donkey ride on the beach or the aquarium?

Stanley Park is nice, across the road from the Zoo.

I wouldn’t have a donkey ride. They aren’t treated well at all, poor things.

Zoo is great, if it’s raining the water park is lovely.

Firstly I would stay in Lytham rather than Blackpool

Really, how awful you’d think they’d sort it out in this day and age. Thanks for the Stanley park recommendation.

Go on, why?

The zoo, Stanley park and the model village are all very close and would take a whole day
There is a new peter rabbit attraction next to Madame Tussaud’s

Don’t stay in Lytham, there really isn’t much there, unless you want a charity shop

There's a premier inn a few miles out and we always stay there. zoo is great. Madame Tussaud's is great too. Look round arcades and park if it's nice.

@Treesjustturninggreen because it's quieter at night with lots of cafes and a nice seafront walk.
And Blackpool is not it's best post pandemic so it might be better to stick to doing activities during the day .

Well, we’ve already booked a hotel. I know Blackpool is a bit seedy for a night out but it’s just a fun day trip with a little one. I don’t think we’ll catch Poor

Thanks for the Peter rabbit recommendation. That sounds like something we’d enjoy

Oh seriously @jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey did you miss we are going with a toddler

@Treesjustturninggreen I know you won't catch poor !
But I don't think you realise what a rundown shit hole it has become.

Alright, Blackpool Tourist Board, keep your hair on

OP, it will be a nice trip for a full day, I’m sure you will fill it with a combination of the Zoo/Park/Potter exhibition.

Definitely the zoo.

Get a hotel with a pool, I've always stayed at The Doric which has indoor & outdoor pools & has entertainment each night which includes things for Children during the earlier evening.

We’ve already booked the Big Blue … it seems one of the best for children.
