Sometimes it's good to just shake things up a bit, get an adrenalin rush, remind yourself of what it feels like to have the wind in your hair.
There's a place just up the M1 which'll sort you out on that front, and then some.
Located in Milton Keynes,
Xscape attracts thrill seekers from far and wide with its multitude of exciting attractions.
For the skiers among you, try out Xscape's
three snow hills – with
real snow, none of that fake stuff.
The longest run is an impressive 170 metres, not bad for an indoor slope.
If strapping skis to your feet isn't your thing, you can also board or sledge.
Once you're done with that, try your hand (and feet) at
rock climbing.
They've got two 13-metre-high walls, especially designed to suit newbies and experts alike.
Trained supervisors ensure that you scale the heights in a safe environment.
One of the most popular attractions at Xscape is Airkix, which gives you the chance to
skydive – albeit a few feet off the ground.
Step into the tunnel of wind and within seconds you'll be flying. An instructor will show you how to fly around the wind tunnel, providing even more thrills.
There's a lot more at Xscape besides the above. You'll also find
ten-pin bowling alleys, a 16-screen
multiplex cinema, a
comedy club, a state-of-the-art
gym,
bars, lots of
shops and
a ton of places to eat.
Comedy at the City Limits venue usually takes place twice a month on Thursday nights.
You can look around Xscape for nothing; you simply pay for each individual attraction that you want to try.
The place has been designed to be as entertaining for visitors as it is for those taking part in the various activities, so you can watch someone else being blown about the wind tunnel before deciding whether you fancy trying it for yourself.
If you're looking for somewhere to take the kids, or just feel like an entertaining day out with friends, Xscape in Milton Keynes is well worth considering.
