Best Things To Do & Days Out In Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
If your family is into adventure sports, then there are lots of things to do in Milton Keynes.
Novice or seasoned skiers will love Snozone, which is full of real snow all year round. Zoom down one of the 170m indoor slopes, find your ski legs or, if you’d rather, jump in a toboggan. If you’re a bit more experienced use the ski jumps and ramps to show off your tricks! After you’ve worked up an appetite there’s a restaurant overlooking the slopes, so you can picture yourself in a resort somewhere as you nurse a steaming hot chocolate.
If skiing isn’t quite your thing then how about jumping out of a plane? Or try Airkix Indoor Skydiving to experience the feeling of flight without clocking up the air miles during Milton Keynes family days out. Suitable for ages 4 and above an experienced team will give you a full safety briefing and all the kit. It’s a popular activity to pre-book if you can!
If you prefer scaling the heights of a climbing wall, then Ellis Brigham Vertical Chill Climbing has got you covered. There are different climbs for varying degrees of capability. Novice climbers can navigate the 13ft bouldering wall, which allows them to practice before moving on to higher crags – like Everest!
The challenges don’t need to stop there! The Sfear is an activity course full of rope bridges, cargo nets and tightropes. After a full safety briefing anyone from 1.2m (those between 1.2m and 1.4m need to be accompanied by an adult) will spend the next 45 minutes climbing, swinging and balancing their way to the end!
There’s also the Aerial Extreme Milton Keynes for more high-level fun, sharpen your aim in the Nerf Zone or get your stun gun and spy goggles ready for the S15 Spy Missions where your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the ship and stop the missile being launched!
