...the next best thing - Snozone at Milton Keynes!
I'd heard a lot about it, that as well as having real snow - ooooooooh - it's the UK's LONGEST real snow slope - aaaaaaaah! I didn't actually choose to go there myself, it was a work function, but who am I to say no to a FREE session of skiing!
Snozone is located in the Milton Keynes Xscape Centre. We got there by road and it's really easy to find - once you come off junction 14 of the M1 you'll soon ... ...for about 30 people so Snozone were more than prepared for us. You can also book and pay online. There were seven of us booked for a two-hour recreational ski/snowboard session, some five people booked for 45 minutes tobogganing and the rest of the group split having either a ski or board lesson for one hour.

I found it not well signed, but basically the entrance is right at the back on the ground floor. You walk in and there is a queing system to navigate – but there were no queues to be managed so we walked around this.

Advantages: Great Fun, good facilities, helpful staff Disadvantages: Can get over crowded in peak times
Snozone Milton Keynes is a fantastic facility to be enjoyed by a variety of different people. Unfortunately there are many people who feel that it is expensive and nothing compared to a real snow slope- but what can you expect from an artificial slope?
