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.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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 :

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.

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.
