点评:We visited Showtown almost by accident and were very glad we did. Tucked away near Blackpool Tower, this modern museum tells the story of Blackpool’s entertainment heritage through a mix of objects, photographs, films, and interactive displays, suitable for both adults and children.
The highlights for me were the exhibits on the Illuminations, Wakes Weeks, and Blackpool’s long association with entertainment. The museum does a great job of explaining why Blackpool became such an important holiday destination and how generations of visitors came here to enjoy themselves.
As someone whose grandparents regularly holidayed in Blackpool and who grew up driving through the Illuminations with my family, I found parts of the museum particularly nostalgic. It’s well laid out, easy to explore in between an hour and ninety minutes, and wasn’t crowded during our visit.
A fascinating and enjoyable museum that adds valuable context to a visit to Blackpool. Highly recommended.
翻译:我们几乎是偶然发现了Showtown,却惊喜连连。这座现代化的博物馆隐匿于黑潭塔附近,通过实物、照片、影片和互动展品,讲述了黑潭的娱乐历史,老少皆宜。
对我来说,亮点在于关于灯光节、Wakes Weeks以及黑潭与娱乐业悠久渊源的展品。博物馆出色地阐释了黑潭为何成为如此重要的度假胜地,以及一代又一代游客如何来到这里享受欢乐时光。
我的祖父母经常来黑潭度假,我小时候也经常和家人一起开车穿过灯光节的展区,因此博物馆的某些部分让我倍感怀旧。博物馆布局合理,参观时间大约在一小时到九十分钟之间,而且我们参观时人也不多。
这是一座引人入胜、趣味盎然的博物馆,为黑潭之旅增添了宝贵的背景知识。强烈推荐。
