Bosses at Blackpool Tower have announced the Blackpool Tower Eye is now open for visitors. For some of the best views in the North West, you can head 380ft in the sky this summer and experience a view like no other - with views on a clear day up to the Lake District and down to Liverpool. And if you dare, you can walk out onto the five-centimetre thick glass viewing platform, where you can look down to see Blackpool Promenade below you.

You begin your visit to the Eye with a 4D Cinema experience, where sensory effects will take you back to where it all began. And when you’re up at the top, treat your other senses with a drink at Bar 380.
