- Join me as we take a look at The Blackpool Tower for 2022 as well as The Blackpool Tower Ballroom, 4D Cinema, VR Room and many other areas too!
Built and opened in 1894, this 158m tall structure and its building below is still going strong and one of the most popular attractions in the UK. In this video vlog, we will show you the whole experience of The Blackpool Tower Eye attraction, the walk throughs and corridors and the 4D cinema. Once up the tower, expect to see breath taking views from all directions, especially in this video as the weather is almost perfect! We also take you up the 3 upper external levels too.
We also take you around the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, featured in the BBC Strictly Come Dancing. he floor has just completed a refurb and is looking amazing. Whilst in there, you can have a hot drink from the Proud To Serve Costa range, a selective alcoholic beverage, snacks or even Afternoon Tea!
Dino Golf and the Tower retail shop also features with the vlog. The VR experience was new in 2019 but only costs £3.50 per person.

#blackpool #blackpooltower #blackpooltowerballroom
Seeing that Ballroom makes me so emotional. I remember dancing with my Grandma when I was little. It’s such a beautiful room too. You’ll never get me back to the top of the tower though. My mum dragged me up as a kid and made me stand on the glass floor and my crippling fear of heights was born lol 😂
Aww nice to hear. Lol as if this is what caused your fear of heights lol
I went to Blackpool on a day visit in 1980, went on the revolution ,was a new ride at the time, peer pressure, afterwards went to the top of the tower, I'm still traumatised.
I used to go in tower everyday during the school holidays as it was free then to get in, used to run wild around the ballroom, late 1960’s early 70’s
You can walk around for free now... You just pay for the attractions, like the ballroom
What a fantastic video.it takes me back to when you could go into the pub and entertainment from the street orr free and go in ballroom for free. X
I remember hearing about the ballroom being free, but even still, the ticket to spectate isn't too much
Wow! I can’t think of a better way to spend Saturday morning watching all about the famous Blackpool tower. I was last there with my family in 1998 but I returned two years later with my girlfriend to do it again along with the Pleasure Beach. Blackpool must be proud of it’s landmark tower and indeed the beautiful majestic ballroom. A great vlog Paul you must have had great fun filming this one👍
Thank you! Yes, was very fun and took a long time lol!! The tower has changed since the 90s that's for sure!!
I advise anyone to give the tower a visit, it's amazing. Even even you aren't great with heights if you can push yourself then have a try, I suffer with Vertigo but pushed myself a few years ago to do the top including the two higher outdoor areas and man was it worth it. The worst bit in my opinion was going up in the lift, which doesn't last that long, once actually up it wasn't as bad as I thought and the views are incredible. we managed to do jungle jim's before it shut, do the ballroom regularly and the afternoon tea is a real treat too. The circus we do pretty much every year. Even better if like us you are a MAP holder as you can do it as many times as you like and the afternoon tea is at a reduced cost, also the circus have VIP seats at a small booking cost which includes ringside seats and a drink etc included.
Yeah a lot of people say that about the lift! I love the lift though. It's great if you are an annual pass holder as you can go up the tower so many times at different times of the year, at different times during different types of weather and get completely different experiences. The circus upgrade is always a good shout!
Thanks for anothet great video paul lovely inside the tower look forward to next video
Hi Julie how's you hope your getting better xx 🥰
@@juliec70 aw thankyou so much for asking about me julie 1im home from hospital now im on medication taking it easy missed been on the chat x
@@juliemcgarty4764 aww glad your home we've all missed you on chat , you takecare of your self x
Thank you ☺️
Awesome Tour Video, The Views From The Top Look Brilliant, Bet It’s Very Nice On A Warm Summer Day 👍🏻☀️
Hmm... When it's warm, so are those corridors lol
Wow great vlog. This was always the highlight of our holiday. Can't count the number of times I have climbed them stairs. It has changed alot since I was last there. I remember years and years ago at the top of the tower there was a wee gift shop and a red telephone box, which we had to phone home from. I also remember a dinasaur ride which took you up to the next floor. I just love the ballroom. Thanks for filming Paul. You have brought back great memories.
They have a post box up there, which I filmed but didn't include in the vlog. I only went up once when it was owned by the tower group/ first leisure, so only experienced the dinosaur ride once! Many people say it was their favourite thing to do!
Absolutely beautiful ty for showing us round Paul wow the view is fantastic 😊
Thank you 😌
Absolutely brilliant video of the famous Blackpool Tower. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic vlog Paul in 2022 thanks 4 sharing as you said long time coming you did it justice
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this vlog, love the tower, been to the circus and ballroom many times, and after the circus we always went to the entertainment room for the children when my 2 were younger, loved the zoo also when I was a kid. A lot of nostalgia, and also a collection of photos with mooky
Aww thanks ☺️
Love a bit of the circus
Nice to see it moving with the times. At one point it was looking very dated getting rid of jungle Jim's was a wise move. Thanks for the tour have a good weekend. Also sorry for arguing with those people on here earlier in the week it won't happen again.
The move with Jungle Jim's was very controversial! To the public anyway, but the venue created opens up avenues for the building.
Seeing Blackpool from that height must be so cool. I need to get myself to the top as I've never been to the top in my life. And I call myself a fan of Blackpool without going up the Tower 🤣🤣. Got to admit it does look really nice lit up at night. Great video Paul!
Its looks great at night at the top too! Seeing the coast at night with the lights of the town is something you never see on pictures or videos! One to try should you go up!
See why can't you be the face of Blackpool youtube? So very well produced and not centred upon yourself unlike other vloggers are. I do hope to see more like this from you pt
Thank you
One of the best vlogs of the tower i have seen.
Thank you 😊
I agree
Excellent. I've visited the Tower many, many times over the years but not recently. This has really whetted my appetite. It also brought back memories of my parents taking me as a child in the 60's and 70's and abandoning me with my brother while they danced!
May be time for a revisit! This video doesn't give it justice at all!
Thank you Paul for showing this very informative vlog of The Blackpool Tower. Excellent...
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Thank you and you too
I went up the Blackpool tower last year and loved it! I really enjoyed the 4D cinema showing the history of Blackpool and the Tower
The 4D is very unique!!!
Very! Especially the Isle of Man part
This is where I found out I had a fear of heights. Mam took me and Sis for a day trip and my legs went at the top of the tower, looking down. I went a few years ago with my good lady and was half relieved when we got there and they'd closed the upper levels temporarily.
Paul, you brought back so many memories. A group of us wrinklies came to Blackpool 3 years ago and some of us ended up in the Ballroom. Really enjoyed sitting there having a pint (or 2) and loved the organ playing. I live 2 miles from where a lot of the bricks used came from and Ruabon Red Bricks are famous having been used on numerus buildings throughout the UK and further afield. Dont stop doing what you're doing as you bring so much happiness to your followers.
Best Wishes Dave.
P.S. the same group of wrinklies will be in Blackpool from15th - 20th May staying in Tiffanys hotel cant wait!!!
Hahaha I love the word Wrinklies 😂😂 you can get lost in the ballroom... Not literally but lost in time! There's a variety going on and having a pint or 2 is what many people do! Very unique kind of bar and seating area, should you put it that way!
Wow what a brilliant video young man. You definitely brought the ballroom well in this. Very well produced
Thank you ☺️
Superb vlog PT ❤ i went up the tower for the first time last August and took my father to the ballroom and circus back in November. The ballroom is absolutely stunning, brought me joy seeing the wherlitzer. The circus holds some amazing history with a small exhibition of the famous charlie coroli, me dad also told me he remembers when the elephants had to climb the narrow corridors to reach stage level from the stables below the tower. Thouraghly live the glass floor and the 4d cinema in the tower, great features but the best are the views. Thanks again PT, stunning vlog 👏👏👏
The circus holds much more than you and the public know... The basement area still has the stables win which the animals lived in and the smell down there, is of what you would expect of a zoo or animal enclosure! The exhibition before the circus hasn't been there long, and I spent many of my days in that area when I worked there!
@@PTVlogsUK me and dad have been visiting the circus for many years, my favourite features being the wonky flooring and sloping paths, on stage the water at rhe end, though this season and previous performance has somewhat lost it's humor with the great mooky.
I have heard about the existence of the stables (its on the wall as you walk through to the ringside) . Would be amazing if merlin would let you down n film the stables for 'education and historical ' purposes for us to see. Thanks again x
@@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer they did heritage tours, but not sure when they will be back... I might find out actually! Part of that tour goes down there
@@PTVlogsUK brilliant!
Simply stunning 😍 thank you for one of the best Tower videos I've seen
Thank you 😊
That voice in the lift sounds so familiar 🤔😉 Great vlog Paul, top work as usual 👍🏻
Hahaha... Apparently it's me lol
Ive watched many vlogs at the Blackpool tower but this was incredible 👏
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this fantastic vlog, it was a long time coming, but it was so worth the wait, brilliant job Paul. We are visiting the ballroom 4 times over 2022 and cant wait, so thank you again Paul for getting us excited 💜😀
Wow 4 times!! Are you a dancer or are you trying out the afternoon tea?
@@PTVlogsUK we go for Northern Soul and Motown weekenders. But I am now going to book an afternoon tea, what a great idea, thanks 😀🤭
@@JULIEGORE1 enjoy it!!
Paul. Brilliant. You are a born commentator. You are professional enough for TV IMO. Too many amateurs on CZcams. Keep them coming!!!
Aha thanks!
😊
That’s was a great vlog thanks Paul 👍👍🙂
Thank you 😊
Hi Paul thank you for another great video as always I've been to the tower Eye twice its totally amazing even better at night especially when the illuminations are on incredible the shop has so much choice ive been in the ballroom for afternoon tea beautiful place nice to see the dancers too have a great weekend 🙂
Glad you enjoyed
Brilliant video the last time we went to Blackpool we went up the tower the 4d broke when we where in it but we could have gone in again but with the time we had we couldn't go back in but we are going back in July so we will visit it again and the circus.
Yeah 4D has its moments of failure unfortunately... Make sure you pick a decent day though 🙂
What a fantastic video I was really gripped with the heights. You should do more of this
Thank you 😊
Brilliant vlog, I love visiting the Blackpool tower, the ballroom is so magical.
Thanks for the great video Paul, I love the Tower, it’s such a special place.
Can't say I've seen pictures of you there though lol
@@PTVlogsUK There’s plenty on line 📸
@@DisneyMarkUK I bet there is... Mr Blackpool 🤠🤠
Great vidio Paul ,a enjoy when you go different places ,not been in there for years ,it's bigger place then you think once in ,my birthday today Paul
Thank you and happy birthday
Great Vlog, it’s a while since I’ve been up the Tower so the update was excellent 👍
Thank you 😊
Hi Paul enjoy watching Blackpool tower visit this year great video video
Thank you 😊
10.5k subs wooop hi hi Jason
Absolutely brilliant thank you Paul.. cant wait to experience it myself when I visit in May.
The experience will be better than what I can produce as a video! Hope you enjoy it!
Love the vlog Paul. I’ve been coming to Blackpool for 30 years and the tower is a must to visit. I have fond memories as a little girl in that tower from going to the top to the old aquarium they used to have. It’s changed so much over the years and I still love going. Circus was the first thing in the tower I ever went to back in 1992
Changed massively in 2012! Although the building itself is still the same!
Fantastic 👍👍👍👍
✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
@@PTVlogsUK 👍👍👍
Perfect weather to jump in the sea hahaha
Haha 😂
The Blackpool tower is a great experience I’ve done it twice!
Awesome 😎
Great video really enjoyed this Thank you ⭐️
Enjoyed this Paul . Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Amazing video. I visited all the attraction in Blackpool tower as a small child with my parents about 50 years ago. Including going to the top of the tower. The ballroom is quite spectacular in my opinion. Thanks for posting this great video, much appreciated.
Looks a nice place to go in Paul haven't been in there yet have tk go in when I get down
Yeah do it! 🤠
Brilliant video. Best one I seen of the tower
Thank you 😊
Always wanted to go up the tower as a little kid, but the 2/6d fee (A half a crown) was too steep a price for our family - over 60 years ago. I felt the effect of vertigo watching the video, so thanks for posting because it is the closest I will ever get. A childhood dream.
Thanks PT for an update, but really enjoyed this vlog, now I know what to expect when I do this experience!
Awesome 🙂
Excellent Video
Thank you
Wow what an amazing vlog Paul keep up the good work 😊
Thank you 😊
Great Vlog, who voice was in the lift? Do you when the tower circus will re open? Thank you.
they announced it will reopen in April
A friend of mine, he's been on my channel when we did Heaton Park in 2019. Circus reopens for Easter
I was there with my mother and aunt in 1959 aged 6. We traveled there from the states to visit my gran who lived in Blackpool. Loved the circus.
Loved it, Great vid
Thank you
It’s some years since I’ve been in there its altered for the better thank you so much it brought some beautiful memories back x
Thank you ☺️
Great vlog
Thank you ☺️
Great video Paul never actually been top of tower hopefully will this year. Nice to get sneak peek though x
Well at least you know what to expect now ayy ☺️
Hi there fantastic channel very interesting brilliant video and fantastic material just to say I cannot wait to be back in Blackpool in October love the place and cannot wait to be filming back up there brilliant work and I’ve just subscribed your channel because I’ve just come across it good work
Thank you and welcome... Hope you have a great time
Im going there it looks insane!
Have a great time
I'm going this saturday
Tomorrow is the day... OF FUN!
Saw the tower last October & found it to be great especially the Eye. Such an iconic & fascinating landmark. Thumbs up from me 👍🏻
Brilliant video PT.
I am open to correction but I do believe the crows nest was accessible in the mid 1970s and I think I have been up there. I am sure I have some old colour slides. I will check them out.
The ballroom is like a cathedral and I highly recommend a visit for anyone coming to Blackpool. Thanks again.
I think you could venture that high back then but became restricted more recently. I'm pretty sure I've been up there, but I can't be sure!
Great video .thank you 😀
Thank you for watching 😊
Great vlog the Tower has changed so much lost a lot of its character I still love the ballroom 😁
I'm going on a solo trip to Blackpool in September and I'm determined to go up the tower.
Have a great time when you go!
Did you go?
It's been over twenty years since I visited the tower complex and remember seeing Eric Delaney the drumming man and his band in the ballroom, incredible energy this guy had and his cover of the space 2001 oddity was something to see, I'll be visiting on 16/9/2023 and looking forward to seeing the new updated building.
I love your videos
Top video again pal
Thank you
Just discovered your blog,
Love it !
Michigan USA

Finally going back to Blackpool in a few months. Not been for 3 years.

Thank you. I have a few videos on my channel of Blackpool Attractions. I hope to do more this year! To recommend are the pier, pleasure beach, tower, Stanley park, tram tour/heritage tram and just the general atmosphere too
@@PTVlogsUK really appreciate your reply I will definitely check them places out when I visit 😊
Visited 2014, 2016 and 2019... aching to go again, i love London but Blackpool is my happy place.
Makes me wonder how much love the Watkins Tower or New Brighton would receive today, though id hate to take sales away from Bpool Tower
Paul ,do they still have the tanks with,fish, the sea life etc in ,a remember them ?
They left years ago x
@@leeanneadlam2301 thanks Leeanne it's all changed
As mentioned no, the aquarium is now the arcade and dungeons. The fish were relocated... The turtle is currently at Blackpool sealife
Braver than me Paul 😳
😏😏
Hi Paul just Blackpool tower it lovely make sure i do when come to Blackpool
Make sure you do 😊
great vlog I've been to the ride zone plus in Castleford it was the weirdest day i ever have they just been played the hokey hokey and Heads shoulders knees and toes on the waltzer today can you tell me where about is that Hindley's funfair
Haha that is weird lol. Hindley Fair is in Hindley Market Square... Near Wigan
I hate heights I have a dizzy spell if I wear thick socks lol 😂 this is the only way I will see the top of the tower lol brilliant video 👏👏
Wow really? Don't be wearing them then lol
Well that’s me sold 🎉think I’ll plan a trip for me and the wife Iv gone off Blackpool last few yrs but Iv never done the tower . Looks like you can spend a full day in there 🙏
Just had to create a new account as I was locked out of my old one! Great vlog
Thank you
Did u actually stand on the glass at the top or use ya stick? Anyway still a gooden pt blogs..
I did yes... I got more shots, but didn't use them all... The thumbnail shows me standing on the floor, but it's hard to see on there.
top video
Thank you
I’m considering doing the tower but not sure if I can reach the highest point but going to try and brave the glass floor
If you can do the glass floor, you can do anything! ✌🏼
The Blackpool tower is so highe and I’m scared
I love the history behind tower i do feel thwy need to updaye 4d exlereince its same video and same song since it opened i love to visit blackpool each year but just feel they should chamge 4 d video now and again
I was hopeful this would get changed...BUT I would fear it wouldn't match up to the current one... It's so good... Having said that, they just need to update it as it's showing images from pre 2012!
Well that one floor closed to the public at the top is fine by me as I’d only go as high as you went.
Hahaha I'd go up there if I could lol
@@PTVlogsUK I wouldn’t. I’m careful how far I go up as it is tend to stick to the floor they drop you off at with that glass floor because I can’t trust my epilepsy. If I were to go up to the outdoor sections and god forbid have a seizure up there I’d likely fall off the tower down to the ground below and I don’t want to die. I’ll wait til it’s controlled fully.
Hi Paul hope your well?. A year on from commenting on this video and the time has nearly arrived for me to go to the top of the Tower. I will be going up this week. Decided to watch your vlog again to get my ready as I'm quite anxious thinking about it but once at the top ill be fine. Hopefully it's nice weather to.
Hope you enjoy it... I'm sure you'll be fine... Definitely go on a clear day if you can
Never been to Blackpool Tower before
Maybe one day
Paul not sure if a could waik on the glass floor ,sort of thing that had panic
Perfectly safe 🤠
I was a teenager the last time I went up to Blackpool tower , I had my palm read on the golden mile, I said, I forsee that I will be £5 worse off when I come out, I was absolutely right .
To pt vlogs uk.have a look at your two video good video FROM Peter.👋👍
Thank you
@@PTVlogsUK Thank you for your messages FROM Peter
Taller than the Eiffel Tower. It's the tallest tower in Europe, in fact
Im going blackpool
Remember when it was only one price but, now sadly got to pay for varies bit tower,circus and I think ballroom all separate price but cheaper (along with merlot events ie Madame Tussauds, Sealife etc ) on Line
I have a memory from 50 years ago of seeing where the metal legs of the tower meet the ground. Is this place viewable. Or am I mistaken ?
I tryed to go up the tower on my trip but 1 lift was working and I wasn't able to go up 😕
🔊🔊😉😉
Yes!!
What day y go to Blackpool tower Iam hoping yesterday
I popped the date at the bottle of the description 🙂
My dad was lucky enough to go right to the top of the tower many many years ago to the crows nest, needless to say I don't think he was meant to be there as he tells us haha
Haha sounds fun
