10 Best Things to Do in Blackpool
What is Blackpool Most Famous For?
The best things to do in Blackpool are found stretched along the coast of this British seaside resort in the northwest of England. Most Brits remember family vacations on the pebble beach as quaint but typically English. The same is true today, and even though the rise in low-cost flights to sunnier climates has increased the competition, there’s something inherently British about a trip to Blackpool.
A trip to Blackpool is a trip back in time. The donkey rides, cabaret shows, and sticks of rock candy haven’t really changed in a generation, and there’s something charming about that. Once the sun sets, Blackpool becomes a beacon for bachelor parties who party late into the night.

Riding on a mule, just like in Victorian England
主打特色： 家庭, 歷史悠久, 探險
A donkey ride on Blackpool Beach is a rite of passage for many youngsters on a family vacation since the 19th century. The donkey will be led by a harness on a slow walk. The route up and down the beach has stayed largely the same, but these days, some of the donkeys have credit card payment machines attached to their saddles.
Rides only cost a couple of pounds and last around 15 minutes. To ensure the donkeys are well cared for, vets inspect the animals regularly. There’s also a weight restriction so no one over 8 stone (50 kg) is allowed to ride.
