An astounding array of artificial botanical and floral arrangements has been created especially by experts for the iconic landmark, such as orchids, palm trees, pink cherry blossoms and lilies.

The magical garden can be found in the Tower Eye, the highest level which boasts amazing views across Blackpool and the Irish Sea and includes the famous Sky Walk viewing platform.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the garden and grab some time out of the heat while still enjoying the panoramic views the Tower Eye offers.

“We wanted to bring the outdoors in and create a beautiful garden where our visitors can get the perfect selfie and enjoy the views….and grab some time out of the sun

during the hot weather!

“We’ve worked closely with Margaret Mason Special Event Florist to bring in a whole host of displays and different types of flowers, so we’re looking forward to

showcasing the garden to both new and returning visitors.”

Once in the garden, visitors will also have the chance to experience the famous Skywalk, a five centimetre-thick glass viewing platform, offering a unique view of the

Blackpool promenade directly below.

Aaron added: “We know we have lots of families who love visiting us every summer, so we’re incredibly proud to have created one of the highest indoor gardens in the sky in the country, making the Tower Eye even more special.”

The Tower Top Garden is included in all standard Tower Eye tickets until August 28.
