The Las Vegas of England and home to the original Big Dipper as well as 'The Big One', one of the fastest roller-coasters in the World. Donkeys, rides, piers, candy floss and the Tower - it's all here - have fun! Your ticket is valid for 2 calendar days and you can use it to Hop On and Hop Off at any of the 19 stops around Blackpool.
From Pontins the tours passes the tram terminus at Starr Gate and follows Clifton Drive which runs parallel with the Promenade taking in the beautiful view of the Irish Sea. The first attraction we come to is the World Famous Blackpool Pleasure Beach with its popular rides for people of all ages.
Blackpool is the only resort to boast 3 piers the first one we encounter being South Pier, and the last to be built, next is Central Pier famous for its big wheel which has the capability to carry 216 passengers.
Soon after passing the Pleasure Beach we approach Sandcastle Waterworld with its indoor wave pools and water slides all in a temperature controlled environment making it an ideal place to visit at any time.
Now we head towards Blackpool Tower where the Pricebusters stop is our main loading point for Blackpool zoo. On the way to the Zoo we call at Stanley Park Gates adjacent to Stanley Park Cricket Ground. Stanley Park is a world class beautifully restored 1930’s art deco park with a magnificent boating lake and period cafe.
Next stop Blackpool Zoo and Dinosaur Safari Park! A great day out for all the family. From the zoo we head toward Blackpool Model Village and onward to Haven Holiday Park at Marton Mere, which is full of families eager to use our service to get them to the main attractions that only Blackpool can offer.
From Marton Mere the bus then returns to revisit the Model Village and the zoo and then achieves a complete reverse direction tour as described above.
