FAQs
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET INTO XSCAPE?
There is no charge to come inside to have a look around and watch the action around you – simply pay for the activities you want to do ie: snow, climb, bowl, dine, movies, shop. Plus every school holidays there’s free family entertainment including workshops, performers, face painting etc.
WHAT IF WE JUST WANT TO HAVE A LOOK?
The venue is entirely themed to provide a spectacular experience for visitors just by entering the building and the placement of all the activities means that visitors can see first hand how achievable it is for all ages to partake in action adventure (and the more relaxing pursuits) to make the most of their leisure time and tourism visits. Where else can you stroll past giant sandstone climbing towers as you do a spot of shopping? There are also panoramic views of the REAL Snow Slope from the alpine themed Snow Bar and café where you can relax with a coffee or something stronger and a snack or meal as you watch the action!
IS THE SNOW REAL AND HOW IS IT MADE?
Yes, it now snows every night in Milton Keynes! 16 snow guns fire cooled water into air chilled to -2O to make the 1500 tons of perfect REAL SNOW needed to cover the 190m slope! The slope is housed in a giant freezer and is groomed daily to ensure the piste is kept in perfect condition for skiers, boarders and tobogganers.
CAN ANYONE GO ON THE REAL SNOW SLOPE?
We encourage individuals and groups of all ages to come and try the Real Snow experience. Join us for a recreational ski/snowboard session if you meet the minimum recreational standard (control speed, link turns and use a poma lift). If you are not a competent skier/boarder you can join us for a lesson with our qualified instructors on the dedicated lesson slope or you may wish to find out more about tobogganing parties!!!!
WHAT IF WE JUST WANT TO RELAX?
Alongside the extreme side of things you can come along and enjoy the more relaxing things in life…including watching a movie at the 16 screen cinema, having a game of bowling or just enjoying the fun of the fair on the video arcade games.
Plus – it’s the ideal place to Drink & Dine … enjoy food and drink from all over the world in one of our many bars and restaurants – there really is something for everyone. Or Shop til you drop…get in some retail therapy – over 100 leading urban and sports brands – so you can treat yourself – or find the gift for the person who has almost everything!
