The new attraction comes from the owners of Golden Mile Amusements, reports LancashireLive, and is now open inside the former Woolworths and Poundland store.

Blackpool Amusements is described by its owners as offering a different experience to traditional arcades with owners Crown Leisure stating that the attraction is designed to cater for families.

Attractions are spread across two floors with the upper floor featuring a large coffee shop area, while there is also an over-18s-only area.

The centre is a replacement for the company's Golden Mile Amusements on the resort’s Promenade which is earmarked for development as part of the Blackpool Central Redevelopment Scheme.
