Best Outdoor Activities in Borough Arcade

"There’s fun for the entire family at Chill Factore, an indoor Alpine ski village that offers the chance for you and the family to try your hand at skiing or snowboarding without having to find a mountain. Those who have a little experience can spend a day skiing down the UK’s longest indoor slope with real snow, while newcomers can enrol on lessons on the centre’s nursery slopes. If you don’t fancy skiing but still want to play in the snow, there’s the opportunity to go sledging or snow tubing, as well as a snow-covered play area for younger children."

"If you need a venue that will allow kids of all ages to let off some steam while doing something completely out of the ordinary, Chill Factore is ideal. The indoor ski slope can be used for skiing, snowboarding, doughnut sledging, and more. It is truly one of the best sports-based activities in Manchester and the north-west."

The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."
