In Milton Keynes you'll never be short of something to do in. Offering some of the most exciting activities and some of the best entertainment experiences in the UK, Milton Keynes is a truly exceptional destination to visit.
This cosmopolitan city started the modern concept of the European shopping experience. In the city centre you'll discover a range of shopping malls with almost endless variety of shops. Throughout the surrounding areas you can also explore boutique village shops.
Why not try indoor skiing on real snow or climbing on the superb rock wall or go flying in the Airkix tunnel, which can all be found under one roof! The many lakes in Milton Keynes also provide excellent water sports opportunities and there’s a state-of-the-art football stadium, not to mention the national Hockey and Badminton centres. Milton Keynes is the perfect place for the sports mad.
Young or old the theme parks around the city are sure to excite you. Europe’s first Eco-Park featuring life-size dinosaurs and a visitor monorail system has recently opened. If you prefer your creatures a little smaller, Woburn Safari Park is Britain’s largest drive-through safari park, allowing you to get “up close and personal” with the animals. Or for something more relaxing why not hire a barge for a day on the Grand Union Canal.
Milton Keynes is rich in cultural experiences with award-winning galleries and theatres, stately homes, medieval abbey ruins and traditional village pubs.
