Looking for water parks and water activities in Blackpool? Discover two very different attractions for a family day out or a break from the seafront. Sandcastle Waterpark is an indoor waterpark with slides and swimming activities, while Wild Shore Blackpool focuses on outdoor watersports and water-based activities. Browse the individual guides to decide which experience best suits your group, the season and the weather.
Planning your visit? Check each attraction’s current opening dates, session times, admission prices, booking requirements and age, height or swimming-ability restrictions before travelling. Some activities need advance booking or have specific safety instructions, and outdoor sessions may depend on weather conditions. Confirm accessibility, changing facilities and what to bring with the venue directly. For more ideas, explore our family-friendly attractions, browse things to do in Blackpool, or see what’s on this week if you’re planning an evening show.
Looking for something different? Browse our local dining guides to find restaurants, cafés and pre-theatre meals to suit your plans.
Most of Blackpool’s theatres are in or near the town centre, so there are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. Aim to sit down at least 90 minutes before curtain up, and book ahead on Saturdays and during the Illuminations, when the town gets busy.
Save on your pre-theatre meal with Tastecard. Tastecard members get 2-for-1 meals or money off food at thousands of restaurants across the UK. Search for Blackpool to see which restaurants near the theatre take it before you book your table.
