Was a bit scary up here for me if you don't like heights but tell you what you definitely need to check out the views of you can make it up there. At sunset too, it looks amazing and completely takes your breathe away. What a stunning view. If you are adventurous, you can check out the slide experience.

Myself and my 16-year-old daughter recently visited the ArcelorMittal Orbit, which is a giant observation wheel and slide in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this experience to others. We started by riding the slide, which was very exciting given how high it was and the length of time you got to ride it. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's a lot of fun. After the slide, we went to the viewing level, which is located at the top of the Orbit. The views of London from the viewing level are amazing. You can see all the way from Buckingham Palace to the Shard. The outside viewing platforms are very good, although if you're not good with heights, this is definitely something that will test your nerves. We didn't do the abseiling, but my sons are planning to come in the future to give it a go. Overall, we had a really enjoyable time. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the views are simply amazing. If you're looking for a fun and exciting activity in London, I would definitely recommend visiting.

Rather expensive for slide and view, but that being said, it was a really fun slide and quite a spectacular view!!

It’s a slight go around to actually get to the place. Really good fun and is worth going around the Olympic park. As always weather depending which is difficult in London ☔️

The slide is so much fun, I felt very safe. Also there is such an amazing view across the city. However it is quite expensive at £27 for a student. The view alone is £17 for a student. I would recommend different things to do in London.

What a thrill. Loved it, definitely take the slide if you are in the area. Views are spectacular from the top bit the slide down is awesome. Plenty gear and gopro video if you want also. Very safe, storage lockers for belongings, cafe and seating and gift shop also

I was quite excited, to be able to see from close in a person this tower/sculpture. Amazing engineering and design of this high 115 meter high-tall Slide Tunnel Tower. So there is two options: 1 you buy ticket just to see at the very top the skyline view, and take great pictures of all the city horizons. 2 or buy slide tunnel ticket to just slide throughout famous and worlds longest tunnel. And ofcourse you can both tickets/options of course if you want :) i highly recommending this place for families, and friends. You could experience memorably moment's enjoy :)

I was given this experience as a gift which came with a bottle of prosecco. There was a bit of a wait to get on the ride but it was fun watching others go down. The slide was enjoyable but was over quite quickly. I would recommend trying it once but it's not something I'll keep going back to try. I would buy tickets in advance and tell them you have a ticket with prosecco at reception.

Great fun was not sure how good it would be so booked in for 1 slide and we ended up having multiple! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Amazing view from the top.

Had purchased a voucher last year which was due to expire so me and my dad went up to see the lovely views. Staff on the front booking desk were really friendly and the views were great. I decided to take the stairs down to give myself a Saturday afternoon workout 😂. Shall definitely visit again and may even do the slide experience next time as well.

So we traveled all the way to London to celebrate my birthday, we stayed just around the corner from the sculpture which offer great night time views, the day of the slide it was too windy and we could only view from the platform, which was disappointing, but we were up there so long it reopened and away we went! It was all over very quickly but I'm glad I did it! The views were spectacular even on a misty November day.

Super fun! The staff are so polite and helpful. Would do again as it is an amazing experience. We got to go on the slide and see the view and it was awesome! the slide is blacked out in some bits and see through in others which is amazing. slide was quite fast, though easier than a roller coaster, you could watch other people go down too!

Recently visited this place and I must say that at night, it's truly a sight to behold as the lights illuminate the entire building! During the day, it offers a serene environment, making it an ideal spot for weekend unwinding and relaxation, All in all, a wonderful place both day and night 🫶🏽

Managed to get a discount as we were going to Abba Voyage. I’ve also wanted to visit the tower. It’s good fun and you should leave at least an hour for a visit

The staff were great, friendly informative and professional. The wait for the slide was around 40 mins but went quickly. The slide it self was good fun without being too demanding. Worth a trip, around £18 pp. Parking at Westfield

My second visit to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford E20 was specifically to visit the ARCELOR MITTAL ORBIT, on Saturday 18/6/22. Busy at the time with an event in the London Stadium, but no problem parking in the disabled bays in the London Aquatics Centre car Park, reasonably very close to the ARCELOR MITTAL ORBIT in nearby Thornton Street. I made research and enquiries on this particular matter during my first visit at Q.E. Olympic Park Information Point, Friday 27/5/22. I intended during my visit to brave the slide but it was fully booked up on the day. ( Probably best online, but you can turn up at the booking office and ask if there is a slot for the slide....?) However, very pleased to have reached the upper viewing gallery ( by lift going up), and you are rewarded the ultimate views north, south, east and west of London. Open air balcony too but obviously fenced high over your head. Abseiling was taking place during my visit - a downwards dangling glide down to the enclosed landing area below. I watched two people dare this breathtaking pursuit from the edge ( launch release platform outside on a ledge as I viewed from within the window viewing gallery inside). The experienced guides, assistants were obviously present to prepare / attach their harnesses which are connected to steel pulleys and cable guide lines. A crane hook mechanism concealed within the roof lower the participants steady dangling in mid-air to descend down alongside the Arcelor Mittal Orbit structure. This remarkable structure, worthy of world status recognition, was designed by artist Anish Kapoor in collaboration with Cecil Balmond; and the Slide designed by artist Carston Holler. This unique attraction opened in June 2016. In essence a sculpture and is the U.Ks 🇬🇧 largest piece of public art. The twisted red metal tower stands at 375FT, and with the looping steel bar at the top it is slighty taller than the Statue of Liberty on Statton Island 🗽 in N.Y.C.🇺🇲 Unique also in having the fastest slide in the world in 40 seconds descent - a narrow silver steel tube with twelve twists. I decided the slow route down by walking leisurely the 455 steps cage corridor that twists around the tower like a snake. During the walk down I heard football crowd (courtesy West Ham United F.C.) matchday recorded sounds emit from speakers planted along the staircase. Adding to a matchday atmosphere from the London Stadium. Eventually you reach the same area exit where both slide tube and abseil landing area meet - this spacious area all within a fenced perimeter enclosure. Alternatively a lift journey of 34 seconds is also provided to reach the top. But for me, the admiration of the structure itself and a remarkable view from the top makes this a major tourist attraction. I had an informative and helpful talk with the slide manager/ organiser in the upper view gallery. The slide now operates and 'as I was told', on weekdays as well as weekends ( before it was Friday, Saturday, Sunday only!).Fantastic tourist landmark attraction not only in London but world over...a unique structure that in appearance different to the rest, whether considered attractive is debatable? I leave you to decide... At first sight the appearnce of this structure reminded me of a Martian machine described from H.G.Wells S.F. classic 'The War of the Worlds'. Dont worry, no heat Ray attached...safe to embark! Rating from me A1, 10/10. A must visit, if only once in a lifetime experience...Chris.👍🗼

I was here today with my brother we, had a amazing time. I am not a fan of heights, but I. Enjoyed the views of London. And the slide was, very quick, sharp at some. Turns and left me, feeling. Lightheaded and dizzy, when I got to, the bottom of the slide. 😄👍

Iconic structure of the 2012 Olympic Park... And you can take a slide down it. Visited on a Sunday as was passing, no queues or waiting (but you do need to book ahead for the slide - thankfully) Great views of the park and across London. If you are in the area it's worth a visit.

My visit to the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London was an unforgettable experience that truly stands out amongst the plethora of attractions the city has to offer. This isn't just any ordinary slide; it's a remarkable fusion of innovative architecture and adrenaline-pumping excitement. The slide itself is a quick 40-45 second descent, but those moments are packed with a rush that rivals any theme park water tunnel, yet in a completely unique setting. The structure of the ArcelorMittal Orbit is an artistic marvel, towering above the London skyline. Its design is unlike anything I've ever seen, combining the thrill of a slide with the elegance of a sculpture. The ride was exhilarating, to say the least, sending me through twists and turns at a pace that was both thrilling and entirely safe, thanks to the meticulous precautions and equipment provided. Before embarking on this adventure, all personal belongings are securely stored in lockers, and safety gear including knee pads and gloves are provided to ensure a smooth experience. The staff at ArcelorMittal Orbit deserve special mention for their friendliness and understanding, making the entire process from start to finish seamless and enjoyable. Beyond the sheer thrill of the slide, the ArcelorMittal Orbit offers another unparalleled feature: the view from the top. Before you take the plunge, you're treated to a breathtaking panorama of London, offering a unique perspective on the city that is worth the visit alone. Although the slide is the main attraction, the site boasts other activities that I'm eager to return for. The fact that it holds the title of the world's tallest and longest tunnel slide only adds to its allure. My first visit was an incredible adventure, and I'm already planning a return trip later this year to explore

Unfortunately the weather wasn't holding up so the slide was shut also the stairs on the outside were aswell it was only us up there so it was peaceful and great views and staffs

Amazing views especially during the west ham game. The crowd chants and seeing them pile out from above is like seeing a wilderbeast migration . Slide was fun but it's not as scary/exhilarating as you think since no views of outside world. Price is a tad steep but overall great day

The ArcelorMittal Orbit in London is a beautiful destination for families. The view of London from the top is breathtaking and the slide is a lot of fun. However, the experience is relatively expensive and requires a long journey to get there.

The slide experience was amazing, the view was incredible, loved the experience. The whole sliding time experience is about 45 seconds it’s worth to try it at least once. It’s great fun!

I've always wanted to experience but didn't get round to it untill 31 August 2022 👌😎💯😅 Booked my ticket online, think it was about £1 cheaper online 🤷‍♂️😂 It was 1x Adult - The Slide and Skyline views £16.75 1x Child - The Slide and Skyline Views £10.75 You then book a time slot, your time slot is only for the slide not the Skyline views. You have the option to use the GoPro to film whilst you go down the Slide. That was £15 and any additional £10. Which they also provide before you go down the Slide. Other websites give give you option for just the views and then £5 extra if you want the slide option. So me and my boy did both. When you go there they charge you £1 for the locker which is then refunded once you're done with the locker. Only if you're doing the Slide that is. You can't take anything with you, not even your phone. Place everything in the locker. You then go up the lift, jump in the queue. They then put on your GoPro camera (if you've paid for it) elbow pads and head guard. You can take a photo up there before you down the slide ad you can see in my pics. Then go down the Slide. Get the refund for your locker at the main desk. Then you can go back up the lift on the second floor and take in the exceptional views. Luckily the sun was shinning when we were there and got amazing views. You don't realise how high it is till you're up there. You've also got the option of the stairs to walk uo or down, I didn't bother with that, no thank you 😅😂 Lastly, I personally think the slide should be faster 👌 In my GoPro video it looks quick, when you're actually doing, it ain't. I was it was abit faster. But nonetheless, it was still great fun and glad I did it 👌😎

Enjoyed our visit at the Orbit. We booked to do the slide as well as the viewing. There are plenty of lockers here, and you don't need a £1 coin for them (they provide tokens). We went straight up to the 1st floor to do the slide. There was a short queue when we went. You are provided with protective elbow pads and head gear. You have the option of attaching a Go Pro camera as well (at a price). Once done, we ditched the protective gear and then went back up to the 2nd floor to see the views of London. The slide was good fun...be prepared for some sharp twists and turns! The views from the 2nd were great. Overall, it was a very good experience at the Orbit. The only thing is everything does look as though it could do with a bit of TLC and it does feel a little overpriced (try and get 2 for 1 tickets if you can...worth a look online for deals). The Orbit already looks a bit dated (it's only 11 years old)....however we received a friendly welcome from all so I would definitely recommend a visit.

It is an amazing experience to visit this sculpture and observation tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford (East London)! Highly recommend! Because you could enjoy the stunning views of the 2012 Olympic stadium, Olympic park, even Canary Wharf, the cable car in North Greenwich and the City of London (if the sky is clear)! It is a family friendly attraction, too! When you look at the very busy Stratford rail and bus station, the trains and buses are very cute and moving like toy trains and buses! My young family members like it so much! Moreover, the staff of this attraction were very friendly. Just one thing was the software which introducing the other places needed an update. For example, the cable car in North Greenwich/ Royal dock has changed its name recently! I definitely would like to come again and try the the world’s longest tunnel slide!

The slide is really fun! They give you an arm guard and head guard to wear, and you sit/lie down on a thin cushion to go down the slide. It's a super thin side with lots of turns! The viewing platform was okay. There are some great views, you can see The Shard, Gherkin, the O2 etc from there. It's a bit of shame that the viewing platform area is a bit bare and would have been nice with some chairs, or cafe or something.

So the kids absolutely loved it. We only did the viewing gallery, not the slide, and this is very expensive for a view and trip in a lift. We walked down the stairs which prolonged it a bit. I ended up buying our tickets via a buy a gift package (including London Stadium tour), which represented much better value than booking direct, especially during peak times. The slide looked like fun for those who were brave enough!

Good views of London from the top deck, which was included in the ticket for the slide. It’s a little pricey but the slide was very fast and felt almost like a rollercoaster, which makes it more worth it.

Nice attraction, this experience was given to me as a gift, I am not entirely sure that I would have paid for this myself for the length of time it is but it was greatly appreciated. Nice to then cruise the shops in Westfield and wonder around the old Olympic village.

Great fun for a Sunday afternoon. Not as fast as you'd think but loved it. Despite it stating online you can take a GoPro, you can't, but you can hire one from them if ya want to. Easy to find, plenty of bars nearby for food / drinks afterwards.
