Families visiting Blackpool, Lancashire, can now access two major seafront attractions for a lower price following a significant reduction in combined ticket costs this March 2026. SEA LIFE Blackpool has dropped the price of its multi-attraction pass from £23.50 to £14.50, offering a £9 saving for those visiting both the aquarium and the nearby play centre.

The discounted deal includes entry to The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse, which is located directly next door to the sea life centre on the promenade. This indoor play area features six themed zones based on books like Zog and Room on the Broom, and it was originally built following a £2.3 million investment in the local seafront.

According to Merlin Entertainments, the tickets are valid for 90 days after the first visit, giving families three months to visit the second attraction. Visitors can also change their booking for free up to 24 hours before they arrive, providing more options for parents who need to adjust their plans.

The price change comes as Blackpool Council continues efforts to support the local tourism industry, which recently saw visitor numbers grow to 21.5 million people in a single year. Council Leader Cllr Lynn Williams has stated the town is committed to remaining the most visited seaside resort in the UK by offering year-round activities for residents and tourists.
