Very unique experience with an on track walk and high speed run on an Olympic track. Very fast and a great experience. Get a video of your run. Worth the time to see some history and support Olympic athletes
Are you kidding me? Still can’t believe we bob-sleighed the fastest track in the world. While our time wasn’t medal worthy, the experience was! Fun and educational. All proceeds support athletes training for the sport (i.e. not for profit). Had a former Olympian giving part of the tour and assisting with launching sleds. Great experience!
This was such a great experience! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. It was very interesting to walk the bobsleigh track and learn about what all goes into the maintenance of it. The actual bobsleigh ride was so fun. We’d love to come back in the winter and go again!
We booked the Whistler Sliding Centre as one of the featured activities during our company retreat, and it was an absolute hit. From the very beginning, the booking process was fantastic. Bruce, Philipe and the team were incredibly responsive, easy to work with and flexible every step of the way. We originally planned the experience for our employees, but later decided to invite spouses as well, which significantly increased our group size. They didn't miss a beat—they simply adapted and made the entire experience seamless for our group of 48. The experience itself? Wow. Walking the track, hearing stories from the drivers, and then actually getting into the sled was unlike anything most of us had ever done. What a rush! The feedback from our team has been incredible. So many people said it was a 10/10 experience and that they'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's one of those activities we'll be talking about for a very long time. If you're looking for a truly memorable group experience in Whistler, we couldn't recommend the Whistler Sliding Centre more highly.
Super fun, great staff answering all the questions about sliding sports. Gives you a great perspective of their challenges in competition.
What a blast rocketing down the bobsleigh track at 94kph. Not actually on ice but on the concrete base the sled was on wheel Absolutely awesome 👌
This is a must do experience. The adrenaline rush on the ride was great. All of the staff were very cheerful and informative. We came away with huge grins on our faces, which we still have every time we view the videos. Highly recommended!
Very nice experience! Lots of explanations and nice impression what the sport entails. And then in such a bobsleigh down the track is really fun!
This was great fun! The fact that the money you pay goes back into future athletes was enough for me to want to do this… but the experience was brilliant. Loved the information, loved walking down the run (track), loved the summer bobsleigh ride! Phillipe was great with the information and answering questions. Thanks for a great experience and something very different whilst we were in Whistler!
We absolutely loved our Bobsled experience! The staff were great, it was very educational and it's FUN - that bobsled is FAST. However, I felt totally safe the whole time. An absolute MUST-DO.
