...oldest attractions in Blackpool namely Louis Tussauds waxworks. There has been waxworks in Blackpool since the 1870`s but Louis Tussaud arrived in 1900 from London, he had held exhibitions in London but had never actually had a gallery of his own. Louis is the great grandson of the famous Madame Tussaud many people still call the waxworks Madame Tussauds as it is many other places but Blackpool's waxworks has always been Louis tussauds.

...theatre and moved more than once before taking over the building opposite the central pier where it stands today. It has changed so much over the years parts of it for the better and parts for the worse but one things for sure its a great way to spend a couple of hours or more. The waxworks is split into many parts including, celeb city, rock factory, the chamber of horrors and many more. My personal favourite is the chamber of horrors although ... Read review

...is your thing then South pier will be right up your street. Moving on from the piers one of my favourite places to visit during a trip to Blackpool is Louis Tussauds Waxworks. Another place which has changed dramatically over the years but just keeps getting better and better. The recent waxworks refit has seen the addition of celeb city and rock factory, celeb city is a room fitted out like a casino with a red carpet walkway amongst other thing and is filled with movie stars and other massive celebrities such as posh and becks. The rock factory is full of pop and rock stars from Elvis Presley and the Beatles to present day stars and is sectioned off into stages with the stars on them as if in live performance. You can go on stage with the Beatles and sit at the drums or pick up a guitar, an excellent photo opportunity or you can stand... Read review

Disadvantages: It's poorly presented and over-priced
