Blackpool Tower

The Blackpool Tower has stood over the Promenade since 1894 and is still the town’s favourite day out. Under one roof you’ll find the glass SkyWalk at the top of the Tower Eye, the famous Tower Ballroom, the Tower Circus and the Blackpool Tower Dungeon. It’s right in the town centre, a few minutes from the Winter Gardens and the Grand Theatre, so it fits neatly around a show.

Pre-booking is essential

Book ahead: Ballroom from £11.50, Tower Eye and Circus from £15

Online tickets cost less than buying on the day, and you choose your date when you book. Combine two or more attractions to save more.

Opening times and 2026 season dates

The Tower attractions open daily from 10am, but closing times change by attraction and date (the Ballroom often closes at 4pm or 5pm outside the summer holidays). The Tower Eye depends on the weather and can close in high winds. The booking calendar shows exact times for your date.

Attractions that have closed for the season can’t be visited, even if your ticket is still valid, so book before the closing dates if you want the full Tower experience.
