Could you not come to see the Olympics? Now, although it’s not the same, you can visit the Park where the Games took place. (Tickets: £15 for adults and £7 for children.)The Park in Progress tours will receive visitors from 29th March until 23rd June, on weekends and during school holidays. For now, 20,000 tickets have been sold.
Visitors will go up into the top, 115-metres-tall, of the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower, designed by artist Anish Kapoor and architect Cecil Balmond. From this observatory they will see the Olympic Stadium, cycle track and Copper Box. Sadly the basketball and hockey's arena and the world’s biggest McDonald’s were demolished. However, the view from the Orbit is the best place to see the transformation.
With the ticket you will see, as well, the two viewing galleries. The exhibition rooms include a group of displays and activities to tell the history, past and future, of the Park.
On 27th July it will be the London 2012 Olympics Games first anniversary. Concerts and more attractions will be waiting for you.
