Several Attractions
Blackpool Tower is one of the city's major attractions and landmarks. It was inaugurated in 1894 and its construction was inspired by France's Eiffel Tower. After visiting Paris, the mayor at the time decided to build a similar one in Blackpool, so he raised funds and hired the architects James Maxwell and Charles Tuke to build it. It was remodelled in 1992 and was re-named the World Tower for its second inauguration by Diana of Whales. The tower now includes several attractions, not to mention its height and views. At its base, there's a theatre, an exhibition and a dark 4D room, which is why the entrance fee is so steep.
