ArcelorMittal Orbit

The slide was a lot of fun. I would say it was a little too short. The experience climbing the slide and to the top was amazing. Staff were very kind and friendly.

Visited the Orbit while looking around Elizabeth park. It's an absolutely amazing structure with great views from the top. Access to the top is via a lift with two floors for observation, the lower currently been the one with the slide - not been very brave didn't descend this way. At the top there are information boards pointing out the various landmarks making identification of the buildings on the horizon easier but most you will probably recognise. The site is fully accessible with the lift returning visitors unable to take the 400+ steps down to ground level . Toilets were on the second level and more are close to the attraction next to the cafe. Staff were very chatty and welcoming a must is to take your camera when visiting.

Slide was fun but some corners was bit too hard for my back. If you have bigger back problems, think twice before you go in the slide. In our point of view, some staff wasn't very motivated in this job... Example the lady in the front door didn't make as feel very welcoming. It felt like we have make something wrong... However, fun slide and worth every penny.

Fantastic day out! Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely views from the top over London and a really fun thing to do. Will come back.

We booked for the slide, a treat for my children who had recently turned eight. Interestingly we were not asked how old they were and neither of them were measured to check that they met the minimum height, which they did but only by a centimetre or two. There is a fair bit of waiting and once you get up to the start of the slide you can enjoy the view but there is nowhere to sit other than the floor. They give you a padded hat and arm protectors and you smile for a photo before finally getting on the slide. I was amazed that people were happily pushing themselves down the slide with smiles on their faces, nobody showed any indication of being scared, my children included. The slide itself was fun, I liked the bits where I could see the view but some parts are quite dark. My kids immediately wanted to go again and I was surprised that an add-on ticket for them was only £5, although subject to availability. There is a shop that you have to go into to see your photos but it is easy to avoid if you don't want to be pestered to buy some expensive marbles or sweets. I'm not sure that I'd rush back and I do think that it is pretty expensive for a slide that is over in less than two minutes but it is fun and the view is impressive.
