Boldly visit this summer with Blackpool’s new Resort Pass bolt-on

Visitors to Blackpool can now fly between attractions with the latest bolt-on to the Blackpool Resort Pass.

The extra addition allows visitors to visit the newly opened Star Trek Exhibition for a discounted price of just £10.

This extraordinary exhibition marks the 50th Anniversary of the most enduring science fiction franchise. Visitors can follow the journey of Star Trek from the very first TV broadcast in 1966, through all 6 television series and 13 feature films.

The exhibition, which is located on Central Promenade, features original props and costumes that are on loan from Filmwelt, the largest private collection of authentic Star Trek

memorabilia, including many items that have never been displayed in the UK before.  With a replica of the U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge and innovative interactive technology, visitors to the exhibition will be able to immerse themselves in the thrilling world of Star Trek.

Paul Greg, CEO, Apollo Resorts Blackpool Ltd said, “Star Trek: The Exhibition is thrilled to be a part of the fantastic attractions which are featured in Blackpool. 

“We look forward welcoming visitors to The Exhibition, and to a long run of the event and strong relationships within the Blackpool community.”   

The extra bolt-on is another spring in the step of the already successful Blackpool Resort Pass.

The Resort Pass is a fantastic way to enjoy the resort’s top attractions and save money at the same time.  The new smart card-style pass gives access to up to nine attractions over seven days, giving the opportunity to experience all that Blackpool has to offer in one easy, convenient way.

The Resort Pass and the Resort Pass Plus feature the best of the Blackpool’s attractions including The Blackpool Tower Eye, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE Blackpool plus lots more at a hugely discounted price for visitors.

Those wanting even more fun in Britain’s most popular seaside resort can also benefit from the Blackpool Resort Pass Plus for £80, which includes entry to the above attractions plus Blackpool Zoo, Sandcastle Waterpark and Blackpool Model Village & Gardens – and represents even more savings.

Cllr Gillian Campbell, Deputy Leader of Blackpool Council, said: “The Blackpool Resort Pass offers amazing value for money and access to some of the UK’s best attractions for a fraction of the normal cost.

“It’s perfect for families who are looking to come and spend a short break in Blackpool and can be purchased online in advance or in person when you arrive here.
