I have had vouchers for Blackpool Pleasure Beach sitting in a drawer for almost a year now. They were going to expire in October and I knew Bob would love to go. I was disappointed that I couldn’t use the vouchers online as the gate price is much more. If I had been able to use them online we would have money left over for treats from the gift shop. Instead we ended up having to put money towards the entrance price.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to go on much but Michael agreed to go on the rides with Bob. He regretted this when he realised how much of a daredevil our child was. She took him on the log flume 3 times and the Blue Flyer roller-coaster twice. She wanted to go on The Big One but we put our foot down!
Bob starts school later than most on the 9th of September so we waited until many schools had gone back. This was the right decision as the pleasure beach was quite quiet and we didn’t have to waste time queuing.
We had a wonderful day! One thing I love about Nickelodeon Land is how they have characters that you can meet and greet for most of the day. Instead of having a couple of time slots they rotate the characters every half hour. Bob loves the characters!
Michael got his own back on Bob when they went on Sponge Bob’s Splash Bash. At first he didn’t want to go on this as he had been wet enough but as soon as the tournament started his competitive nature kicked in. I didn’t see how wet the other riders got but judging by how wet Bob and her Daddy were I don’t think they won.
On the way home from our adventures I always ask Bob what her favourite part of our day was. Today she said it was the Alice In Wonderland ride. The old ones are the best. 🙂
I also captured some video which I will edit together soon. I am looking forward to comparing it to the video I made when we went last year. Bob seems so young back then!

Oh what a fantastic sounding place, I have to admit I’d not heard of Nickelodeon land before! x
It’s really good as it appeals to older ones too with Sponge Bob and the Turtles. My husband was happy! 🙂 x
I haven’t heard of Nickelodeon land before but looks like you had a great time! I’ll have to add it to our list of things to do! x
It’s definitely worth a visit. We are lucky as my parents live in Blackpool so we get to go there quite often. x

This looks like an amazing day out. Maxwell would simply adore to visit! It looks like you all had a great time.
