 | | Blackpool Tower, which dominates the scene, contains an Aquarium, the Dawn of Ages ride, Jungle Jim's adventure playground, a listed ballroom with an amazing ornate ceiling and a mighty Wurlitzer organ and, in the basement, you'll find the legendary Tower Circus, where you can watch several shows daily. |
 | | A stretch of Blackpool's seven-mile beach called The Golden Mile is the slot-machine capital of the U.K. A string of luxury arcades such as Coral Island, Funland, and Oasis offer plenty of enjoyment, and you'll also find discos, cabaret spots, and exhibitions. |
 | | Blackpool's Winter Gardens, like a weird Disneyland, has the Empress Ballroom and Opera House (Britain's largest theater) and a mix of Tudor England, Strauss' Vienna, Seville, and ancient Rome--all in one gigantic complex. |
