Great Sunday day out at the tower / Jungle Jim's in Blackpool. Visited 28.08.11 with husband and 2 children (5 & 2). Still a lot of renovation work going on, but didn't have to go up too many floors with buggy. Lovely helpful chap with buggy store on level 2 - free and well organised with collection ticket.
Staff in Jungle Jim's really helpful. Allowed 2 play sessions as it was very quiet around 11:30, so were in until 1:30.
Lovely clean loos's and baby change. Plenty of seats with more to come I think once it's all open.
Under 3's play area great - lots to do.
4+ play area great with lots of slides, balls etc.
Only downside for us was adults having to stay on green platforms (for heath and safety) which was fine for most of the time until we had an upset child who got a bit stuck and needed help. We went to get her and the announcement came on 'parents must not play on equipment' - hardly playing rescuing a small child. Also, there are no entrances / exits to the lower levels - all areas reached by ramp higher up, so as child was stuck in bottom pit, had to climb all the way through. Perhaps this is due to come though, as it's still partly closed off.
Prices on tower website mis-leading and needs altering. adults not free as indicated. family of 4 cost £26 to go in.
Ballroom beautiful and was surprised that both little ones enjoyed watching the couples on the floor.
Would go back.
