5 things to do around the Park during February half term

5 things to do around the Park during February half term

Press Release 19/02/2019

1. Discover London’s landmarks in miniature

Not content with being one of London’s most iconic modern landmarks, this half term the ArcelorMittal Orbit is also playing host to Bricks in the Sky, an interactive exhibition of models and mosaics made from LEGO bricks. Click here to find out more about the exhibition, which is free to visit with any ArcelorMittal Orbit ticket.

 

2. Make a splash at the London Aquatics Centre

This week the Pool of Champions is being transformed into an inflatable assault course for Ultimate Aqua Splash, the UK’s largest aquatic inflatable. Anyone feeling a little jealous of their children at this point will be pleased to hear that there’s no upper age limit either.

 

3. Discover a new sport at the Copper Box Arena

Think you know cheerleading? Think again! Legacy Cheer and Dance is returning to the Copper Box Arena, for a weekend of rhythm, and dazzling acrobatics. A fun and inspiring event for any tiny dancers. 

 

4. Visit iconic sporting venues

Whether or not you were in London for the 2012 Games, its venues are instantly recognisable and are home to some world-leading sports facilities for the public to enjoy. Book an indoor or outdoor court at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre or take a spin at the Lee Valley VeloPark. You can even book tours of the London Stadium, now home to West Ham United Football Club.

 

5. Or just explore the Park

There’s plenty to see and do in the Park, so sign up for one of our guided tours or simply discover it for yourself. Find inspiration for things to look out for with one of our self-guided trails, or let the little ones let off energy at Tumbling Bay playground – adults will be pleased to know there’s the nearby Timber Lodge café for them to escape to.

 

Planning your visit

Getting to the Park couldn’t be easier – it’s a short walk from Stratford station, offering a variety of different transport routes into and across London.

We’re also proud that the Park is as inclusive and accessible as possible, meaning everyone is able to enjoy their day here. From step-free access to a wide range of facilities, click here for more accessibility information to help you plan your visit.
