Blackpool Zoo is a family friendly attraction, providing fun and education for all ages. Situated only 2 miles inland the Promenade, the park is easily accessible from the M55 motorway. Over 1000 animals, birds and reptiles reside in a scenic 32 acre park amidst mature trees, lakes and spacious lawns where the kids can burn off their excess energy. All your favourites are here including big cats, elephants, giraffes, sealions, gorillas, orangutans, camels, zebras and many, many more. Opened in 2014, the new Orangutan Outlook allows visitors to get up close and personal with these charismatic apes. Open daily (except Christmas Day) from 10 am, the park's closing times vary seasonally.
I went with my fiancee and two young girls aged (3 & 1) and we had a great time. Planning ahead we booked tickets online. A few weeks before going and this allowed us to buy meal tickets in advance as well and I would advise doing this as you can save quite a bit overall doing it this way. We all had a great time and enjoyed the sea lion show as well as the big cats and saw most of the animals across the zoo. The only bit being worked on was near the anteaters. We will definitely go again to catch all the shows and feeding.

A delightful place. We particularly loved the Arctic Fox, Otters, Hairy backed armadillo and Capybara who all entertained us marvellously with their antics. The tamarins and dwarf mongoose were also beautiful. The bat house is extremely exciting if you dare go in! The Dik diks were gorgeous. We just wish the bearcats had a bigger house and we couldn't see their faces.

Pet’s Corner is based in Astley Park. The Brothers of Charity Services manage Pets Corner as a social enterprise and it is open to the public every day of the week. It is situated next to the refreshment kiosk and children play areas (one of the most vibrant areas in the park). It houses giant rabbits, huge African tortoises, crazy chipmunks and many more animas.
Lots of animals to see that will interest young children and packs of feed are available. Opportunity to wash hands before leaving and simple explanations and names of the animals are on all the pens leading to familiarity with favourite animals on subsequent visits. Well run and a delightful addition to all that Astley Park offers to families.

Showcasing more than 50 dazzling displays and more than 2,000 spectacular aquatic creatures including tropical sharks, colourful reef fish, octopus, rays and sea horses, SEA LIFE Blackpool is the perfect way to experience the wonders of underwater life without getting wet. Explore the magic of the world's oceans and journey from the coast and sandy shallows of the great British shoreline to the equatorial rainforest of the Amazon and into the tropical depths of the ocean.
Visited Sea Life Blackpool today, on a very busy Saturday afternoon! I honestly can’t fault Sea Life, the animals are all so well looked after and the habitats and exhibits are incredibly well researched and designed. The information around each species and their conservation status is very detailed and informative and it is great to see so many suggestions on conserving sea life included in the information - particularly happy to see the effort being made to raise awareness around plastic pollution and sustainable fishing. We also took the ‘behind the scenes’ tour which was incredible value for the money - it was amazing to get up close with baby sharks and newly hatched butterflies and learn about the laboratories, the important research carried out at Sea Life and the work that goes on in raising and caring for the animals. Cameron was our guide and he was brilliant, super friendly and engaging and so knowledgable, would definitely recommend this tour!
