The Tower is also home to an aquarium featuring fresh and salt water fish, Jungle jim’s Towering Adventureland, and the Jurassic Walk. There are several restaurants and bars as well as the Tower Heritage Trail which highlights the history of the structure. Another exhibit celebrates the life and legacy of Charlie Cairoli, a famous clown.

The view from the enclosed Tower Top can extend as far as the Isle of Man on a clear day. Here visitors will find a gift shop, a glass floor permitting views of the Walk of Faith, and the highest post box in Britian.

Outside the Tower there is plenty to keep visitors occupied. Beaches, amusement parks and restaurants abound. Travelers can stay in charming Blackpool bed and breakfasts or choose from an array of hotels and inns.
