Blackpool Illuminations

[nicolamumof3]

We are going up north to visit dh family tomorrow and want to go by train to visit blackpool whilst we up there, specifically to the illumninations.

Not sure what train station to get to, and where to get tram from. Just after general recommendations places, times etc if anyones been?
dc are 11y, 4yr and 3y. We went to blackpool couple years ago wasn't particularly impressed but really fancy seeing the illuminations as the boys will love it!

Sorry I'm not going to be much help but just wanted to add that I'm taking my 4yo on Wednesday. I love the illuminations, haven't been for a few years sonim really looking forward to it. The added bonus of al that junk food too

Hope you and your famy have a wonderful time!

we were going wednesday but saw rain forecast so changed to Tuesday. Boys will love it!

Lots of direct trains across the north west to Blackpool North - go to www.trainline.co.uk. When you get there, make your way to North Pier and catch an illuminated tram to tour the Illuminations - kids will love it. Go to www.visitBlackpool.com/illuminations to check switch on times and what else is on. Have an illuminating time!

We went 2 years ago in wet and windy weather, lol.
