It was awesome I would highly recommend It was so much fun !!!!!
Cool to see and experience how everything around bobsleighs is arranged. Draught itself well prepared and quite quiet and accessible.
Depending on your age (I’m 76), you may find getting out of the bobsleigh a bit of a challenge. Otherwise, it’s well worth doing once.
Would definitely recommend this! It’s an experience you’ll probably never get again. Not only is it great fun, it’s really informative and we were told lots about luge/skeleton/bobsleigh, as well as given a track tour. The guides are all amazing and friendly, and we felt totally safe.
An unforgettable experience on our trip to Whistler! Such a unique activity that we will remember for years to come. Very heartwarming to learn it is a non profit organisation with all proceeds being put back into the facilities and supporting the next generation of athletes. Our guide (and driver) Rhys was very knowledgeable and gave a great backstory to the track! 10/10 would absolutely recommend!!
The experience was enjoyable as it wasn't just a ride. the tour was great, very educational, and informative. Walking on the track was awesome. Staff was very professional and also super friendly. Having a go pro video available to purchase was great and worthwhile. Everyone in our group loved it. We may even go back and try the winter version. Great that the money goes to support athlete's or future Olympians. Totally recommend this adventure.
What an incredibly fun activity! We took part as a group of 4, and didn’t really know what to expect. The entire experience was more than we were imagining when we booked. The background and history of the track and sport was a really interesting way to start the day and get us prepared for the main event. I really liked knowing that this is a not for profit, and that this fun activity we planned was actually helping to support our local athletes and teams to continue within their sports. Our of our tour guides were informative and made us feel safe and confident in the process. The best part (of course) was the final ride down the track. When they tell you it’s fast, believe them! So. Much. FUN!!!
Fun and exciting the guides were well trained and very informative. Safety was a priority and reassuring.
Excellent people and an excellent experience. The facility is easy to find and the staff were wonderful.
Incredible experience! This is a unique opportunity to see and try a world-class facility. The staff are super friendly and are all involved in the training of the athletes that compete at the top levels. The best part is that it’s not for profit and all the money goes to help fund the facility. Don’t miss out!
