Things to do and Tourist Information - Located just off the M62 motorway Xscape is a purpose built indoor activity centre. The scale of the centre is huge, it's the size of six football pitches, and is 38m high. It was winner of Best Tourism Experience 05 in the Yorkshire Tourist Board White Rose Awards and is dubbed Yorkshires 'Coolest' and most unusual attraction. There is much to do at xscape but I will focus on its main attraction the real snow ski slope. Great for those who wish to learn to ski/snowboard or those with experience who want to get in some extra practise.
