FAQs
Here’s some answers to all those burning questions…
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!
Can you really skydive at Xscape? Airkix is the newest attraction at Xscape Milton Keynes and gives you the
chance to fly, without having to jump out of an aeroplane. The giant air tunnel
has been designed and built with state-of-the-art technology for indoor skydiving
and bodyflying. No parachutes required!
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
