I live near Blackpool but am unfamiliar with buses.

North Station will be best. best tip - take a taxi. £4 max I would think.

If walking: exit the station onto Talbot Rd. Across the road you will see the bus station. Not all buses use it, but i think there is an enquiry point there.

If walking: walk along the street *( Cookson) which runs at top of bus station. 2 sets of light along is Church St, which runs down to the sea. Walk straight across ( regent St) to the next main junction running Left/ruight. This is Hormnby rd. Turn left and walk to lights - stright across ( Park Rd) You are still in Hornby Rd. Walk downhill to next litghts at Whitegate drive. Go straight across and take the right fork (Mere rd) This takes you the the park entrance. When coming back, there is a bus stop outside the entrance. It is a 25-30 mins walk. Phone number for Transport may be 01253 473001

From the Tower you want Line 20 bus to Stanley Park. Line 20 runs from the Pleasure Beach through the centre to Stanly Park and the Zoo. You probably want to be on the sea side of the promenade but check with the driver. Have fun.

thanx Barrie, not been since i was a kid and its somewhere Reece has never been, he's been everywhere else in the country, just not somewhere as local as that, i'd forgotten about the place until i saw an advertisement for it on the net, i wonder if it's changed since i was a kid

Cheeky mare, have been now for the second time, and it has improved since I last went, doesnt take long to get round it, but is worth a visit, book online for a discount!
