Discover the park on your own. Action packed, eventful, and super educational. My group had a wonderful time. Perfect location for a business team building opportunity or some friends and family fun.
Bring good shoes with traction. Trails are loose. Tubing down the runs were the most thrilling. I love this place! If you have never been you must go! I went with my mom just to look around. There are these ski jumps that end with a pool! We got to see people do their jumps. Not much else,was going on. I mean it was July. But the Olympic finals happen here and their is a museum. Serious fun. I came alone on a road trip for the day and had a blast.
Met some good people and played. Did the bobsled run, zip lines, extreme tubing, alpine coasters. There were not long lines while I was there— a few waits but the set up was nice and they attempted to have shady areas for people to be comfortable while waiting. Fun watching kids do the ski jumps into the pool. It was a ton of fun and totally worth the price. The bobsled experience was exhilarating. Bumpy, stressful….
Not pleasant but a good time. Summer on wheels. Cool Runnings Bobseld track.

The more daring — or attention-seeking — can chance a dive off the ominous concrete diving blocks at the far end of the building.
Open Mon-Fri 6am The Velopark is a hub for cyclists of every discipline: those out for a rocky ride can cruise the metre-long BMX track, which has been adapted from the one used in the Games; the indoor track the fastest in the world in the distinctive Pringle-shaped velodrome, on which Britain had so much success in , is also open to the public; and the floodlit road circuit is suitable for serious stamina training as well as being a great place to learn to ride.
There are also three graded mountain bike trails opening in May. One of the best things about the Velopark is that you don't even need a bike; you can hire everything you need on arrival, making it the perfect place to try out new and unfamiliar styles of riding.

The venue — which is probably going to be more attractive for locals than day trippers — features a sparkling new gym as well as activity space where you can take part in anything from Zumba to badminton, but you don't need to be a member to visit.

The tri-mangled crane? The red-metal devil? The smelter helter skelter? Whatever you decide to call it, the sculpture, made of 2, tonnes of steel and the largest in Britain, really is sight to behold. And the view from the top's not bad either. At around m high, the viewing platform offers visitors the chance to absorb the rapidly changing London skyline, from the blocky, boom-time skyscrapers of Canary Wharf to the more delicate shapes emerging in the city centre.
