Blackpool Resort Pass + (plus), £77.50. Gives visitors access to the six attractions above plus Blackpool Zoo, Sandcastle Waterpark and Blackpool Model Village & Gardens.

The passes are currently not on sale due to seasonal opening times for some attractions, however, the passes will be back on sale soon for 2014! You can sign up to be alerted of when the Blackpool Resort Pass goes back on sale here on the schemes official website, blackpoolresortpass.com.

Visitors also have the option to purchase bolt-ons including Blackpool Transport tickets and discounted car parking along with access to The Blackpool Tower Circus and Viva Showbar. Blackpool Transport has also launched a Hopper Bus Service to support the Resort Pass offering a direct bus route between all the attractions.

Natalie Wyatt, managing director of Marketing Blackpool, has also announced that they are currently looking at a number of other options for the Pass for 2014 and hope to be able to offer even more access to top BPL attractions to visitors!
