Yeah, I went there a couple of times when I was a kid. The beach is pretty crap, but still fun, and you can go on donkey rides, so kids love that! They have a huge theme park, something you can all enjoy, you can see the Blackpool tower and there is a sea life centre. Lots of shops to buy presents and don't forget the stick of rock (a coloured candy stick that sometimes has writing on).
However, at night it can get abit rough, with lots of men dressing up as women as I can remember, so I think the hotel would be the best place to stay at night.

Hi there,
I do not mean to sound disrespectful but i would avoid blackpool at all costs. i went there last weekend and found it to be tacky, tatty and as really rough. The beach is sandy but that's the only positive thing i can say about it.
The prominade is awful! I went out of season so there was not much going on.
I would say blackppol is ok for a cheap, tacky weekend away with the girls or boys. The pubs and clubs were full of stag and hen parties. seems popular with that.
I would choose a haven holiday anywhere but blackpool!!!!
The only thing i did enjoy was the hotel and the 'funny girls' show

i remember going to blackpool for the day once when i was eight - i am now 25 - we went to a swimming centre called sandcastle - it had a wave pool - i remember blackpool illuminations and going past some sort ot fair with a rollercoaster and a ferris wheel. I remember blackpool rocks - sweets. I live in australia now but the place sticks out in my mind, so i would say that it is an excellent holiday destination for your children

Blackpools great for kids. Haven parks are okay, can be a bit rugh in some places but generally kids love them.

Blackpool is not the place it used to be and is rather rough and ready. Maybe OK for a day trip but you will be glad to leave it behind at the end of the day. What about Morecambe ?

According to my mate who lives in the Blackpool area, it's quite safe for you and the kiddies. Like any town there are areas you don't go at night, but if you stick to the tourist areas you should be fine.

It looks such as you're putting different excuses of why you do not want them over. you do not would desire to describe something. tell the two factors which you will take a pass on vacations because you want to start your guy or woman relatives traditions. clarify that each and each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days it form of looks such as you adult adult males are the two going someplace or distinctive persons are coming and you think of it takes far flung from vacations and you have desperate to start your guy or woman relatives traditions this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. in step with hazard comply with meet with the relatives which you're able to routinely occasion with on say the weekend earlier or something after which you will basically stay some hours, exchange presents, and be performed. And this would not eliminate out of your loved ones vacation time. We do the comparable with the two mine and his relatives. We the two placed our foot down and that i for my area had to inform my mom that if she even confirmed as much as my homestead that i would not permit her in, lol.. She replaced into fairly mad interior the initiating, yet now its going to be 4 years, she's notably lots adjusted and yours and his families will too.

Depends on the age of the kids. If small they have a great beach but not much more. Teenagers will have a ball.
