What an amazing experience! I was traveling with my adult niece and her husband to Whistler. She had all of our itinerary planned including the bobsledding. I had no idea how the heck they would pull this off to give you the thrill in complete safety. Well they did and it’s worth every penny. The staff was very knowledgeable and professional. They answered all questions and added their humor to lighten one’s apprehension. We were loaded into the bobsled and were off. Our ride lasted about 52 seconds and it was a great experience.

This was a fun exciting and unusual excursion to do. You learn a little bit about it and walk some of the course and then get ready to bobsled down the fastest bobsled course in the world. Staff is friendly. Highly recommend it

This was a wonderful experience that I have been looking forward to since I was about 15 years old, when I first saw bobsleighs in the Olympics. The employees were energetic and extremely knowledgeable about this sport. It was great learning so much about the track and how the ice is formed. We got to see different types of bobsleighs and equipment. It was pretty cool to be able to touch and feel and walk on the track itself. I felt completely safe in the hands of my driver, Aaron. This was an excellent experience!

Good value for money. Informative and fun. Staff go out of their way to make it enjoyable. There to reassure younger family members and hesitant parents! The videos and photos were unexpectedly reasonably priced so we came away with mementos of our once in a lifetime experience. Thank you!

What a fantastic experience! I truly was unsure and a little tentative to go, but you only live once! It was a real insight on the training that these athletes have to endure.

Is there a copy of the waiver that needs signing? We can't find a travel insurance policy which will cover bobsleighing

Hello, our winter season will go until March 31, 2019, so there will unfortunately be no rides available on April 17, 18 and 19.
Our summer season, with summer bobsleigh, will commence in June.

Hello Seunghyun, in the winter, you can access the Whistler Sliding Centre via the "Excalibur Gondola". The gondola is free for foot passengers (without ski gear). From the gondola mid station it is about a 10 minute walk to our venue. Other options are public transit or by car/taxi, you can find more information on our website.
I want to book things for winter( maybe January 7th). When can I start to book? And also when do the deals such as Groupon available?

As stated, the earlier the better for booking any activity at Whistler during ski season...
We try to book rooms as early as possible to get the best rates and location.
Hope you get the date you’re looking for.

I read that the bobsled was now on wheels, not on the actual ice. Can you confirm?

It is ice in the winter and wheels in the summer. I am not sure of the changeover dates; you should call or check the website to confirm.

I didn’t see any children at the time we went, personally I would say it was more of a teenage and above thing, that’s just my personal opinion though maybe have a look at there website. It is great fun, you certainly won’t regret it!

Its open year round and as others have said, ice in winter, wheels in summer which are marginally slower but i would hazard a guess at been just as much fun. We had a blast...I'm sure you will.
