The Blackpool Tower is introducing new ticket bundles and updated attractions for the 2026 season to help make visiting the landmark more affordable for families. These changes come as Blackpool Tourism Limited prepares for its first full year overseeing the site since taking over management from Merlin Entertainments in August 2025.
Visitors can now purchase the new Ultimate Ticket for £65, which covers entry to six major local attractions, including the Pleasure Beach Resort, Sandcastle Waterpark, the Tower Top, the Tower Circus, the Tower Dungeon, and Madame Tussauds Blackpool. Additionally, new Sky Rider and Sky Thrills ticket packages are available for £50 each. According to the operator, these bundles are designed to offer savings of over £60 compared to buying individual tickets for each location.
The tower has also updated its on-site offerings, including the opening of The Fifth Floor. Located in the space formerly occupied by Jungle Jim’s, this new area features a family bar, a circus-themed arcade, and an 8K virtual reality roller coaster experience. Families can also visit the Dino Mini Golf, a nine-hole indoor course.
Furthermore, the Blackpool Tower Top is preparing for its reopening with advance tickets starting from £12.50 per person. This admission includes access to the observation deck and a 4D cinema experience. These updates follow a strong period for the local economy, with Blackpool recording 21.5 million visitors in 2023, supporting 23,000 local jobs.
