sky walk, tourist attraction
The top of the tower is known as The Blackpool Tower Eye. It was previously known simply as the "Tower Top", until it reopened on 1 September 2011, having closed down the previous year for refurbishment, as part of the renovation of the entire Blackpool Tower complex, during which it was acquired by Merlin Entertainment.
Before the elevator, guests watch a 4-D film about Blackpool and the local area, they then go into the refurbished waiting area, where memorabilia and newspaper pages about the Blackpool Tower are on display, before being taken to the Eye itself.
There are four levels in the Blackpool Tower Eye:
- The enclosed area includes the main "Eye" attraction, which consists of a glass floor and wall along the west side of the Tower, providing panoramic views of Blackpool seafront.
- The second & third levels are outdoors, and the third level is the highest level accessible to the general public.
- The crow's nest is only accessible to employees.
