"North Pier and Northshore Blackpool is a very beautiful and wonderful place to stroll and view the waterfront and coastline."

Cons:

Amenities and Attractions
Pros:
"Fab view of the firework competition and nice clean well maintained penny arcade. Amazing waffle/ice-cream place outside too."
"Went to the Bloom Bar at the end of north pier. Great selection of Gin's, good dj Saturday night playing a very good choice of music."
"Traditional pier, theatre at the end along with a sun lounge, bar and carousel. Amusements and cafe at the land end but not ruined by kiosks and rides."
"A lovely historic place to visit. The entrance/exit to the pier could do with a lick of paint but it's a lovely place to sit & enjoy a brew overlooking the sea."
"Ye olde pier where snoopy esquire lives in a case, keep in mind the kids may not appreciate him correctly as mine ran away crying."
"Good old traditional wooden pier, enjoyed by many over the decades. There's a few stalls selling candy and ice cream, as well as a few rides."
"For family day out - you'll have a wonderful time at the North pier promenade in Blackpool. It has the nostalgic feel to it, with the vintage arcade games, the Ferris wheel, and the charming shops."
"This pier is more calm and peaceful compared to the other two. A lovely classic carousel, Arcades and plenty of seating."
Cons:
"Sadly the pier is looking shabby - brittle, cracked, uneven floorboards that need replacing... some with holes developing."
"So much going on, stall after stall, loads of attractions including Tower, Sea life centre, piers, amusements and shops. Is quite busy at weekends and public holidays."
"It's a bit run down! If you like springy, spongy floorboards then this is the pier for you! Not much was open as we were there in off peak season."
"To walk in the steps of Harry Corbett who found Sooty in a shop on this pier is truly super. On a windy day, it is rather blustery so hold on to your partner!"
"The best of the three piers because the amusements are not thrown down your throat. There is a length of pier for you to walk on that isn't covered in some form of 'entertainment'."
"It's free to enter and you have a Beautiful pub there. Breath taking views. It's very close to Blackpool tower."
"Great place to be when the sun is shining, the open area with no roof with views of the sea is adults only."
"The actual pier is closed at the moment for winter maintenance. But the arcade at the start of the pier is good, a little more pricey for the machines than other arcades but other than that they have the same sort of machines as others."

"Lovely place. The arcade and the shops around make the place very happy and lively."
"A wonderful day out with a true feel of a traditional seaside town. The organist on the North Pier was excellent."

"It's the quietest of the three piers, but so beautiful, an old fashioned carousel 🎠 ride, beautiful gin place gardens and the Joe longthorne museum and theatre, with nightly shows."
"Great place to visit. Lovely views from the pier, and plenty of choice of eateries on it. Even some live music adding to the atmosphere of the seaside holiday."
"Love the vibe of North pier. There are coffee shops, souvenir shops, pubs and bars on the pier that people can enjoy! All with the view of Blackpool tower!"
"North Pier still has a really lovely, family atmosphere and is a calming and charming, picturesque place. I sat on a bench and read my book and smiled at people passing on the tiny train."

"They're really trying to revitalise the pier and this historic attraction needs some support.. great for family's with young children and the theatre is still struggling on at the end of the pier."
