Advantages: You can ski on real snow, climb, absail, watch a movie, enjoy a meal & shop a little too!

Disadvantages: If you don't drive then getting there is more of a challenge

Had a great visit to Xscape earlier in the year, which was all decked out in Christmas decorations and lights and looking wonderful. There is so much to do there you will never be bored; with indoor climbing walls, rides, soccer circus, restaurants, outdoor clothing and ski-wear shops, Odeon cinema and real snow slopes, with ski and snowboard tuition on offer. We had a great mexican food at Chiquitos and enjoyed a visit to the Snow Bar for a drink while we watched the more adventurous have fun on the slopes. I have yet to take the next step and actually have a skiing lesson, but its on my wish list. I'll just have to find some time and get kitted out with a pair warm ski-trousers and jacket. Its real snow, so its real cold. A few minutes on the 'outdoor' verandah of the Snow Bar left me in no doubt about the need for warm clothing on those slopes!

There is plenty of parking on-site and if you follow signs for Braehead Shopping Centre (Xscape is right next door) you'll see it pretty quickly, as the sign for Xscape is huge and can be spotted from quite a distance. This is a great place to go, especially when the weather isn't the best as its all indoors. In fact I'd thoroughly recommend it, as would my hard-to-please teens.

Summary: A favourite fun destination for all three generations of our family. Yes granny comes too!
