Blackpool Rocks?

I haven't been to Blackpool for a long time. We are taking DD (3) this weekend and I would welcome any suggestions for things to do. It may be wet and windy, so something indoors would be welcome.

I have thought of: Blackpool Tower (there is a play centre inside I think?)
Pleasure Beach
Sandcastle
Sea Life Centre

Those will probably wipe out our budget if we do the lot. Anyone any cheaper suggestions?

Thank you.

Pah! Sold out, so am still looking. Has everyone bought Christmas sparkly tops already?

What do you know about Blackpool Cod.
Bet there will be sequins galore in ballroom dance shops lol!

trams are good, you can go along the front in them.

But I always turn into a snob in Blackpool, too many stag/hens knocking about and women with blue legs in short skirts.

I am aiming to increase my Chav rating this weekend.

Make sure you drag your hair back really hard into a ponytail, then use lots of gel and drag one piece out to cover one eye.

Blackpool Tower is great - well worth the money, the circus is fab. Don't got on a very windy day though as they close the lifts and you can't go to the top.
(NB You can use Tesco Days Out Vouchers, which makes it good value. If not ask your hotelier as they may well have money-off vouchers.)

I don't really like fish, but the boys enjoyed the Sea Life Centre.

We didn't go to the other two.

thanks N
Due to DH working weekends we never got to see the lights in October.
And I have rung the Tower - the Circus has finished until 26 Nov, when Xmas one starts.
