Blackpool Model Village & Gardens

FamilyStanley Park

Miniature England in landscaped gardens, next to Stanley Park.

Two and a half acres of miniature villages, castles, farms and railways set in mature gardens. It is calm, pretty and completely unlike the promenade — a good antidote after a loud day.

Small children adore it. Combine with Stanley Park and the Zoo, which are all in the same corner of town.
