Is Blackpool good for toddlers?

[pinkpantherxx]

I haven’t been to Blackpool in so long and I know places change. Is it a good place to take a toddler as in things to do etc?

does the pleasure beach do many rides for 3 year olds?

We went 2 years ago for our daughter’s birthday trip.
we went to the zoo and the Gruffalo’s Playhouse and the kids loved both of those attractions.
sadly, there’s not much else to see in Blackpool, it’s quite run down

Yes! I know it gets a slated on MN but it’s excellent for children ! My kids live it more than the abroad holidays we’ve had. Stay in a nice hotel such as the Boulevard or Village hotels and take it for what it is. There’s loads for toddlers , the Pleasure beach with Nickelodeon land, Sandcastle water park, Gruffalo adventure place, sea life centre, Blackpool Zoo…. And loads more! It’s not cheap though you’ll rinse through money. My kiddies love the 2p slot machines for tickets too at Coral Island, I actually do think pushing the coin through the slot helps with dexterity in little ones (or that’s what I used to tell myself ) one of my sons Loves the piers he’s 8 now and still talks about them!

updated to say, you can buy just a Nickelodeon land ticket at the pleasure beach which is cheaper just for the smaller rides!

The zoo is great! Pleasure beach has Nickelodeon Land which I'm sure would have a few rides for little ones. There's the circus at the tower. Sandcastle water park, the model village and the beach if the weather is good.

There’s also Stanley park near the zoo where you can hire boats, really good size playground and lovely picnic areas. By the zoo is a big soft play as well.

We took DS when he was a similar age and he loved the 2p machines, paddling, building sandcastles, just toddling on the front, going on the little rides, trampolines etc.
