Blackpool Pleasure Beach
The big one. Nickelodeon Land covers the primary ages properly while the Big One and the wooden coasters wait for brave older kids. August queues are real; go in expecting them and it is a great day.
AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Park Blackpool
Blackpool, Lancashire
AirHop is the trampoline park on Cornford Road, and it used to be called Ascent. The main arena is wall-to-wall trampolines with giant airbags, battle beams and the other trampoline park staples, and Open Jump is for ages 4 and up. There is a separate soft play for 6 and unders, a cafe and an arcade corner for anyone sitting it out.
An hour of Open Jump is £13.95, but they recommend 90 minutes to get round the lot, which is £17.95. The soft play is much cheaper at £6.45 for an hour and adults supervising it go free. Toddler Takeover sessions (ages 1 to 6) open up the main arena to the little ones, and there are SEN sessions with quieter lighting and sound.
Check the timetable before you set off. In term time it does not open until 3pm Tuesday to Thursday, and Friday and Saturday evenings switch to glow-in-the-dark Sunset sessions pitched at teenagers.
What it costs: Open Jump (ages 4+) from £13.95 for 60 minutes, £17.95 for 90 and £19.95 for 120. Soft play (6 and under) from £6.45 for 60 minutes and £7.45 for 120; adults supervising the soft play do not pay. Separate Toddler Takeover (1 to 6) and SEN sessions run on the timetable.
Know before you go
- Term time it only opens at 3pm Tuesday to Thursday, so a weekday morning needs Monday or Friday.
- Arrive 20 minutes before your jump slot for check-in and the safety briefing.
- They recommend at least 90 minutes to get round everything, which puts the realistic price nearer £18 a child.
Worth knowing: Open Jump is 4+. Soft play is 6 and under. Toddler Takeover sessions for 1 to 6.

Blackpool Tower
The Tower Eye's glass floor 380 feet up, a proper circus that still knows how to play to kids, and the famous ballroom below for a fancy ice cream. Buy the attractions you want rather than the bundle you will not use.
Sandcastle Waterpark
The UK's biggest indoor waterpark, kept at tropical temperature: proper toddler pools and mini slides at one end, big flumes at the other. Rainy-day Blackpool solved.
Blackpool Zoo
Elephants, gorillas, giraffes and sea lions in 37 acres that are actually walkable with primary-age legs - big enough to feel like a full day, small enough that nobody ends up carried.
Sea Life Blackpool
A solid seafront aquarium with an ocean tunnel and rockpool sessions - the reliable wet-weather hour when the beach plan falls apart.
Stanley Park
Blackpool's grand free option: Italian gardens, a big boating lake, one of the best playgrounds on the coast and model boats on the lake. The antidote to a wristband day.
