Blackpool Sandcastle

[KarenS]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Sandcastle swimming complex has been upgraded recently? We were thinking of going to Blackpool at Easter and I was checking entry prices for a few things and the Sandcastle basic entry is £32 for a family of 4. The last time we were in the Sandcastle I thought it was a bit dated so I was a bit surprised to see it was so expensive.

Does anyone else think that this is expensive?

Thanks

Karen

I think it is expensive - you have to stay a long time to make it worthwhile.
What annoyed me was that you are charged a fortune to go in even if you don't swim; DM & I just wanted to watch the kids. I can't remember what they charged us, but it was ridiculous. Had to pay up as we'd promised the kids, but if I won't be doing that again.

Hi

They have refurbished last year.It's actually 100% better and looks great.They have added a master blaster and another thrill ride and a lazy river.The basic price doesn't include the new rides that have been added,you have to pay extra for these.Though it's expensive and prob not worth the money it is now a really good day out.I think if you only wanted a few hours and not a day it's cheaper to go after 2pm.

Blackpool is a shamless rip off for everything, i think we go because we have fond memories of it as kids when everything was fairly new and not so expensive.

blackpool is a bit tacky.went for the first time in october for a girlie weekend for my 40th birthday. there is a lot for kids to do but i would not take my kids there over a weekend.it may be a different story midweek, but the place is filled with groups on hen or stag weekends . they are all having fun but some of their costumes or more what they have written accroos there t shirts are not suitable for children to read !
beach lovely though and tons to do but am sure there must be a nicer place to visit.

i agree totally we use to go for a weekend every year for lights but stopped going gangs drunk and fighting urinating in streets not the thing i wanted my wife and teenage kids to witness
