What to Expect...

Book Zip World London at the ArcelorMittal Orbit tickets for a choice of two experiences in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. You can take on Helix, the world's longest and tallest tunnel slide, or head up to ArcelorMittal Orbit 360 for panoramic views across London.

Helix sends riders down a 178m tunnel slide with 12 loops and speeds up to 15mph. Orbit 360 is the lower-key option, with city views from 80m above the ground and plenty of time to take in the skyline.

It is an easy pick for older kids, teens and grown-ups who want something a bit different in Stratford. You can browse more family-friendly outdoor activities tickets for your next day out too.

What's On - Events & Specials

Zip World London gives you two ways to experience the ArcelorMittal Orbit. If your family likes fast-paced thrills, Helix is the headline act, with a 178m descent through a twisting tunnel slide wrapped around the structure.

If you would rather keep things slower, ArcelorMittal Orbit 360 gives you time to enjoy the views from 80m above the park. On a clear day, you can spot major landmarks including The Shard, St Paul's Cathedral and the O2.

Booking FAQs

Most asked questions relating to Zip World London at the ArcelorMittal Orbit.

Your ticket covers entry to the specific adventure you book - either Helix or ArcelorMittal Orbit 360. Standard tickets are per experience, not both, so if your group wants to do both, you'll need to book each separately. Helix includes a slide mat and lift access to the start point. Orbit 360 includes lift access to the 80m viewing deck. Both give you panoramic views across Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
