Arcelor Mittal Orbit Review

178 metres in 40 seconds. Very excited tunnel slide. A must-do things in London. Forget the roller coaster in other park.

Beautiful views from the viewing platform and the slide is incredibly fun - It's quite expensive but very much worth it - a great adrenaline rush!

Amazing experience. You have to book to be able to do the slide but really worth while!

Nice unique experience. If it were a bit faster for me, wss would not be responsible :-)

We had so much fun!! The staff were great! Very friendly and helped to calm the nerves.

Nice place especially in autumn and winter months when you go up in the afternoon to enjoy the views of sunset.

Fantastic views.
Easy to get up and down, whether you use the lift, stairs or helter skelter!

The slide was brilliant, well worth having a go, just a shame it was over so quick. The viewing platforms are great to take photos or just have a look around.

Very beautiful sculpture especially at night thanks to its lighting

Looks interesting from the outside, not tried the exhibition and slide yet as a tad expensive.

The Slide is a great slide but in my opinion too expensive but otherwise I liked the view and the slide very much. A super nice staff.

Weird monument, sort of interesting - don't recommend the slide though, it's really not very fast or thrilling and pretty expensive. If you are an adrenaline junkie you will feel let down!

We visited on a gray and windy day, but it was still worthwhile. The structure itself is pretty awesome, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the observation gallery had some helpful screens to tell you what you were looking at, and some cool big curved mirrors.
We went for the slide, which books up by Friday for Saturday, so get those tickets early. It's well organised and good fun - my tween son was impressed. We would go more often if it didn't take us 90 mins to get there. Allow about an hour for your visit, and get to the side 15 mins early for safely great and briefing.

I think the structure is interesting. I did not do thr slide or abseiling. Tje views did not impress me, though it was a cloudy day.

Great fun, although I wouldn't bother purchasing the Go Pro footage. We got less than 6 seconds of actual footage.

Fantastic views of London and the slide is very entertaining

This was absolutely amazing! I would definitely go again. However, it wasn t as fast as it made it seem so there is no need to be scared or get worked up about it being scary because it goes at a nice reasonable speed. The staff are absolutely lovely and very helpful, there is also a little gift shop which has lovely little things like pens, pencils, note pads and things to remember it by. I would highly recommend this as it was very fun and an awesome experience

Amazing views from the observation deck. They have the tallest slide in the UK now.

A really interesting structure. Staff are friendly and helpful & the slide back down is awesome!

Loved it. Fantastic and exciting. Not To mention the view.

Excellent views of London and surrounding areas will come again

It was amazing ma doods. Nice view of london and a great big slide

Very high
Good experience on the orbit slide
Friendly staff

The landmark building of the 2012 Olympics. While you get a good view over the Olympic Park, the tower is just too low for a view across all of London.

Helpful and friendly staff. Surrounding area is currently under transformation from Olympic Park to Residential and Commercial use. Good long range views.

Really good fun and great view friendly staff aswell.

The slide was good fun, views great and staff friendly.

Very fun! Also, they offer a discount if you are a student.

This slide is a total waste of time and money! When I arrived at the slide they told us it was closed as they had been experiencing problems with the slide all morning. However I think that they should inform people in advance if they having problems with the slide not wait for customers to get there and then inform them. I booked the slide in advance therefore they had my details and it would take a few minutes to call people or even put a message on your website. Awful customer service :(

A great attraction. This is a lot of money for quite a short ride but is very exciting.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience on the slide. Although I nearly passed out lol

Excited experience. Remember to store your belongings in locker.

I will give it another rating when we have succeeded in doing the slide. It was being tested and found to have issues when we went for our booked slot. Still got to go to the viewing platform... And walk down the exterior spiral staircase

Poor experience, the slide don't opened on Friday and the employees are a little bit to lazy! I don't go there again and I should advise you to visit other points in London!

Great and unique experience. Very good views and the slide is very fun. Also recommend taking the stairs down from the platform, there is a cool exhibit of sounds from around east London. Only thing is that it is quite expensive considering you can only ride the slide once.

Fantastic attraction, it will leave you breathless! It deserves to be tried, but book your trip in advance on the site.

They don t sell tickets for the slide at the tickets desk!!! You can only book the tickets for the slide online!!! This is inadmissible!!! What if you don t have internet on roaming... or your phone battery died... or you you don t have a credit card... or you prefer to buy tickets at the entrance! I m very disappointed and I will never come back!!! Worst experience ever!

Excellent slide - very punchy! Staff were excellent & very friendly.

Fantastic experience, incredibly friendly and helpful staff ... we were there mid-week in the scottish half term holidays, so we had the place virtually to ourselves. Fantastic for our kids to walk round the Olympic Park and up to the top of Orbit.

Actually was better than I thought. It s over quite quickly but it was fun.

Lovely views and well run. Just a pity the slide only lasts a few seconds

An impressive monument that is reminiscent of the Atomium in Brussels. The breathtaking view of London offers a spectacle that will delight all audiences. Do not miss the mirror games on platform 1!
As for the slide, it's a great experience. 178 meters of descent for 40 seconds of thrill. A bit expensive all the same.

Very well organised and laid back atmosphere.
Great slide and well worth a visit! Fantastic views and good excersise if you don't take the lift!

It was not a good thing because we had to wait 2.5 hours because they had to do "tests" on the slide themselves

Weird looking thing. Only interesting feature is how weird it looks, almost as if the only reason it exists is because some bumbling oaf with half a brain and less of a clue was in charge of decision making at the time. Has a slide you can go down... also you can abseil down it if you absolutely have to.

Great views but would be better if you could go faster

I had tickets from a gift I received and it was surprisingly good. It was very simple just looking around but when it is not busy and on a nice day, it is rather soothing. Though, I am not sure if I would pay to do this.

Great views from the top and the slide is fun, although it was a little slow on the day we did it due to humidity. Quite pricey, though, especially for a family and it is best to book in advance. Even after booking, the wires were pretty long so be prepared for your visit to last a couple of hours. MLS

Had a day out with my beautiful girlfriend really enjoyed the Arcelor Mittal orbital great views long walk down the stairs but good fun

Enjoyed the view, though rather over priced just to visit a viewing platform.

Travelled all the way from Nottingham specifically to go on the Arcelormittal orbit but was told when we arrived it wasn't working, very dissapointed.

Rillington views across the area and over London. On a clear day you can see for miles.

Fantastic day out! Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely views from the top over London and a really fun thing to do. Will come back.

Warning rain: no toboggan (the view is fabulous on London)

It's alright maybe go once if you really want to. The slide is throws you around a bit and is abit boring.

Much too expensive for what it is, the view is not incredible and the slide is for my part "nil" for the view I highly recommend "The Shard" which is a little more expensive, but the view is magnificent.
