Blackpool Tower is the most recognized symbol of the resort and as well as being an important architectural feature is a major entertainment complex.  It is the most distinctive building in Blackpool, visible from all over the town, and on clear days can even be observed from as far away as   the Lakes, the Isle of Man and North Wales.  It is around 518 feet high and is a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The structure is a Grade 1 listed building and is included in the World Federation of Great Towers.  There are several holiday attractions inside.

Blackpool Tower Ballroom was designed by Frank Matcham and was constructed between 1897 – 1898.  It was opened in 1899.  The parquet ballroom floor is made of over 30,000 separate blocks of walnut, oak and mahogany and is  1600 square yards in area.  It is widely regarded as the most magnificent ballroom in the world.  The famous Wurlitzer has a long association with the ballroom, with distinguished organists such as Reginald Dixon, Earnest Broadbent and Phil Kelsall. The venue also hosts variety and musical shows.
