Milton Keynes Ski thingie

Hey, MK mums!

I had an idea of heading up to MK to take the boys (16 and 14) to the indoor ski centre there. Anyone with any tips - is it good?

I spotted on the website that there was a sky diving activity in the same place. Has anyone done this?

Any info and tips most welcome

The sky-diving thing looks great, but you actually get only about 2 minutes in the air for nearly 50 quid.
Pick your time to ski - crowds would make it hard to bear. We elected a 2 hour slot, because we thought we might spend too long in queues to make an hour worthwhile, but actually found it was a bit dull going down the same slope for 2 hours. The lifts were very slow, and stopped very often. And the snow was very mogul-ly and a bit porridge-like, BUT, am probably being a bit harsh, because we went shortly after returning from a week in the Alps, so not a fair comparison.
