Insider tips

Book your entry session online in advance, as the park often reaches capacity during peak weekends and holidays.

Bring a padlock for the lockers, though they are also available for purchase on-site.

Rent a private cabana if you are visiting with family to have a dedicated base for the day.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk to the park from Blackpool North Station; it is a significant distance away. Avoid arriving without a pre-booked session as walk-in availability is not guaranteed.
