On its top there is a viewing terrace with a glass floor, and on the lower floors there is, among others, a children's playroom, a circus, an aquarium and the so-called Ball Room for rest.
There are three walking piers on the beach in Blackpool, the longest of which is over half a kilometer long. There are shops, restaurants and a Ferris wheel.
