Overall Rating
Good
This is a large shopping centre in the North of Blackpool near to the Blackpool Tower. There are a range of shops in the centre from major high street names to small stores. There is a lot of light in the centre and good signage in place. All of the passage ways are wide so there is plenty of room to move about. From store to store .
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There are a number of entrance and exit to the centre all of these are level or have a ramped area. The sign age is good and there are store directory display boards through out the centre. Each way in leads to the middle of the centre that has a large square area.
Parking & Transport
Good
There is a large multi storey car par built on to this centre and a lift is available from the car park in to the centre its self. There are Blue Badge spaces available. The Blackpool tram system nearest stop would be the tower this is a 5 min walk away from the centre its self.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There are 2 wheelchair accessible toilets available these are on the 2nd floor the food court area . There is are 2 lifts available from the middle of the centre to the food court area However they 5 Stars are because the Debenhams store that is part of the Centre has a Changing place toilet available for use.
Staff
Good
Any of the stores we visited we found the staff very helpful and friendly.
Additional Information
The Centre hours do change through out the year. The Changing Places Toilet is only available to use when Debenhams is open. Some of the entrance exit area of the centre there are some pebbled type stones that might be a bit bumpy to cross on.
