Blackpool's famous landmark, the Tower, 519 feet tall, celebrated its 100th birthday in 1994.
After a multi-million pound transformation, the Tower provides seven levels of fun for all the family.
The Ballroom was left untouched by the massive face-lift - but then die-hards will say "if it aint broke - dont mend it!"
Blackpool Tower opens daily at 10.00am from Easter until November 5th. It's also open during the winter at weekends and during the school holidays.

Blackpool is a seaside town in England, on the coast of the Irish Sea. It is traditionally part of Lancashire but on April 1, 1998 was made into an independent unitary authority.
The town boundaries are drawn very tightly, and exclude the nearby settlements of Fleetwood, Cleveleys, Thornton, Poulton-le-Fyldeand Lytham St Anne's. Blackpool Borough, unlike its neighbours, is almost completely urbanised.
