The Slide at The ArcelorMittal Orbit for One Adult and One Child
Overview
Fall in style and descend the world’s tallest and, at 178m, the world’s longest tunnel slide with admission for one adult and one child to the The Slide at The ArcelorMittal Orbit. Spiral down what’s also the UK’s tallest public artwork, breathing in dramatic cityscape views as you go.
During your 40 second trip, you’ll cruise at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour, weaving your way through the iconic loops and curves. Build up some momentum in the corkscrewing ‘bedspring,’ before finishing up with a 50m hurtle straight back down to earth.
The Slide is the brainchild of Belgian artist Carsten Holler at the invitation of Sir Anish Kapoor, designer of the Orbit, so this is a showcase of innovation from two of the world’s leading artists. Completely unique, this latest installation is yet another reason to visit Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park- the most exciting playground in London.

My sons word for the that experience "amazing"
Me and my son had such an amazing time the staff were lovely helpful especially as I was really nervous just as I was going to do it but the lady who was at the top really helped me be calm and was encouraging. Would definitely recommend it and my son said he would do it again.

A fun slide
This was the 3rd attempt to use experience day at ArcelorMittal Orbit. First try got cancelled due to storms, 2nd due to thunderstorms. Let me be clear this is good fun, great views of London and the slide is excellent fun. The downside is despite pre booking the event you have to queue alongside people who maybe paying on the day. One person only serving. You need to leave 30-45 minutes for this purpose. A shame because it takes the gloss off a good time.

Brilliant
Had to change my tickets as they were for 2 but for 2 adults so changed it for 2 adults and 2 kids. So they advised we the adults didn’t have to go down so the kids went twice! Fabulous, they loved it.

Just fantastic!
Was bought for my 10yr old daughter's birthday and what a treat! She loved it and purchasing the Go-Pro to record the ride was well worth the money to relive the experience again and again!

Superb day out
Staff really good with all riders (including a sometimes nervous 9 year old), which added to the experience. Great fun and because of booking procedure, no massive queues. Would recommend a trip - views are great, area is great, and the ride was fun!

The kids loved it
Would thoroughly recommend the slide at The ArcelorMittal Orbit, the kids came off the slide saying how much they enjoyed it and wanted to do it again. As it was bought as a gift I can’t comment on the price but will definitely be looking into booking it again.

Wow! What an experience!
Higher than I'd imagined, this was a great fun thing to do. The staff were all lovely as my daughter got steadily more scared as we got higher up and we're really patient with her and encouraged her to slide, which she did in the end. She got off at the bottom grinning from ear to ear. It's fast and over quickly when that few unexpected turns and steep bits, some light some in the dark. I'd definitely recommend it.

Great slide
Loved the slide but only 2 minor points would be option to climb stairs if u don't like lifts & it's quite a long wait as a spectator. Girls loved the actual slide experience though.

Good Fun On On The Slide
The Orbit slide at Queen Elizabeth Park was great fun, it is a pity though that you only get one go for the price. However, it is still recommended and brilliant views of London from the top. The staff were friendly and helpful and even a nice little shop for some souvenirs

This will shake the cobwebs away !!!!!!!
The ride was excellent ,very exciting , safe and the information was interesting and well laid out .We enjoyed looking at the views from the top with the labelled diagrams. The staff were all very friendly and explained everything clearly . My only criticism was the cost of the video £15 !! as the link only had to be sent to your email address .Bit expensive when you have to pay that amount for each persons ride . .

Great Experience
It was a great experience, the views were fantastic. The only thing is I would recommend that the company would charge a fee to record you going down the slide as it's only a 40 seconds.

Do not forget your virgin voucher
A really good experience for all the family but no where does it mention to take the original voucher. You'll get emails for activation codes, voucher numbers and pin codes and you'll need all of those on the day but also your virgin voucher too.

Worth doing if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t travel an hour and half to experience it like we did. It lasts about 35 seconds.

Excellent slide, not great service
As most of these experiences are sold as presents to children you would expect exciting surroundings and bit of enthusiasm, unfortunately this is lacking in a big way. The video is bit of a waste as only focuses on the face and the shop takes forever to process it with one person serving both the videos uploading and the souvenirs shop, so everything takes forever with que which doesn’t go fast.
