Blackpool Tourist Information Centre

It's a really different building. Mind it's Blackpool so nothing amazes me just now here. The tourist office is vital to Blackpool. You can buy tram passes , theatre tickets and get all the leaflets you with ever need. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

Located in the old railway station this is a great TIC. Obviously a TIC but also a good gift shop and booking office for local events. Prior to Corona virus, in the same building is The Platform that usually has a varied programme of music. Mainly tribute but at the top end of quality. The TIC also serves as the ticket office, not lust for The Platform but also the theatres and attractions in Lancaster. With the 100 bus service every 15 minutes into Lancaster

Reviewed By StewKent - Manchester, United Kingdom

What to say? Staff have always been helpful but this information centre is to close, no doubt to save money and pay for more office wallers who never actually deal with those mucky individuals the public! When they do they have to come down from Mount Olympus. The Tourist Info Centre in Market Square was closed many years ago due to Lancashire CC cutbacks. Basically both councils involved, the second being Ribble Valley BC seem very uninterested in encouraging tourism. Unlike, say those responsible for Skipton. Often used by people to obtain information and tickets for longer trips, say to Scotland or London.
