The £60 million Xscape project opened in the year 2000 and boasts 51,000 sq m of facilities,
containing a range of leisure activities including a snow slope, climbing
wall, multiplex cinema, bowling alley, restaurants, bars and specialist
retail outlets. Able to host 8000 visitors at once, the building is based at the heart of Milton Keynes and only minutes from the famous shopping centre. Its design is unique and represents a landmark in the Milton Keynes landscape.
The virtual tour takes in shops, activities (including the snow slope), an office and the outside of this impressive building.
A VIEW of Xscape supports the GCSE for Applied Leisure and Tourism, offering examples and evidence which enables students to explore and investigate this exciting business in the leisure sector.
The virtual tour also provides some evidence in support of GCSE Applied Business, the work related curriculum at Key Stage 4 and Careers Education.
Developed with support from the Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire LSC.
Schools and Colleges in the Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire LSC sub region are entitled to a free single user copy of a VIEW of Xscape courtesy of this LSC funded project. They should make contact with their local Education Business Partnership to request their copy.
