What comes to mind when you think about Milton Keynes? Maybe concrete cows, definitely roundabouts, perhaps a big glass shopping centre? If you’re visiting the town, you’ll be pleased to hear there are loads of fun things for your family and friends to get up to.
Xscape
Fancy giving skiing or skydiving a try? Now you can do both when visiting Xscape.
Build up your confidence before hitting the slopes with skiing and snowboarding lessons at Snozone, the UK’s leading indoor snow centre with real snow slopes. Or experience the thrill of indoor skydiving at iFLY and fly into wind speeds of 165 mph without stepping foot on a plane. Scale new heights on Ellis Brigham’s climbing wall but if active pursuits aren’t your thing, don’t worry – there is also a Hollywood Bowl, Cineworld and plenty of restaurants to choose from.
Base yourself less than a mile away at our Travelodge Milton Keynes at The Hub hotel.
Bletchley Park
Bletchley Park was the central site of the UK’s Government Code and Cypher School, which during the Second World War penetrated the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers.
Now you can test out your own code-breaking skills and take tours of the buildings where some of the Allies’ best mathematicians worked.
It’s a wonderful heritage site open to the public all year round and is only 4 miles from our Travelodge Milton Keynes Central hotel.
Willen Lake
Are you looking for an action packed day filled with adventure, or a picturesque spot to enjoy a picnic overlooking the glorious countryside, Willen Lake offers both. Jump into water sports, swing through the high ropes or take a leisurely cycle around the lake. New for Summer 2017 is the Splash Park, along with an ice cream kiosk, perfect for those hot summer days.
The lake is just a 6 minute drive from our Travelodge Milton Keynes at The Hub hotel, perfect to relax after a busy day.

Step back in time and learn about the history of Britain at the fascinating Milton Keynes Museum. Get stuck-in with the many hands-on exhibits.
