I visited Blackpool last month- May- along with my friends and their babies. We were hoping to have an exciting family holiday at a town well known for it's family appeal, however, were quite shocked by the state of the town now.
As well as the usual roadworks and building work which come with every town, Blackpool seemed to have a lot of falling down buildings, shut up shops and even a few burnt out bars! Almost every street was full of litter and grime and the shops just all looked so run down.
We spent some time in the tower which cost us £12 to get in and then we had to pay for food which was very expensive and not at all varied just burgers or two selections of sandwiches or a soggy looking cottage pie which looked as though it had been sat around all day.
The Tower was definitely not value for money.
The amusements were as fun as ever but starting to look like they all need a bit of modernisation.
At around 4pm bouncers appear on all bar doorways which automatically sends out signals about what kind of place blackpool becomes at night.
From what I can conclude this one family orinetated town is definitely more geared towards the tacky hen do/stag parties and even then they aren't that amazing with it allbeing so run down. The family side of things has definitely been let slip. I felt dirty and uncomfortable there which was a great shame as I have happy memories of visiting Blackpool myself when I was young.
It is definitely not a place I wil be visiting with my own family again.
