The area has both canals as well as entertainment, especially for kids. The Arcelor Mittal Orbit tower is inside the park, and it has the world's largest tube slide, 174m long and 74m tall. The tickets for the slide cost £5. The park is a good place to visit while doing some shopping, as the Westfield shopping centre is right next to the park.
