"the sandcatle rip off" Blackpool Tourist Trap Tip by sparkieplug24

The sandcastle is the pool and leisure centre thing thats over next to south pier on the promanade. It is £5.50 per person (i think may be more) including kids although kids aged under i think it was 3 or some ludricous age like that got in for cheaper the biggest rip of is they charge the same price for people not going into swim as they do for people who do go in. There excuse is that people where pretending to not to want to swim and then going into the pool and that there was other entertainment we were there for two hours and apart from a adventure playground for kids i didnt see much more in way of entertainment. When they frist opened they used to do shows and things so you could stay for the whole day but they dont anymore

Unique Suggestions: If youre kids really want to go here by all means go but if someone isnt going into the pool it would be less expensive for them to go off and do something else and arrange to meet you a while later.

Fun Alternatives: There is a ordanairy pool in blackpool which would be much better very value and would be less crowded as it is more geared towards locals than tourists.
