The Milton Keynes Xscape opened in 2000 and is a major feature on the skyline of Central Milton Keynes as seen from the east. The Xscape has 14 floors, making it the second tallest building in Milton Keynes after Mellish Court in Bletchley. Inside the Xscape can be found a real-snow ski slope, a 16-screen cinema, a number of shops and restaurants and a climbing wall. An interesting point is the two large funnels on the front of the building - sometimes mistaken for lifts or part of the cooling system, they are actually just stairs.
Located directly behind the Xscape building is a large square-shaped structure which houses an indoor skydiving centre named 'Airkix'.
The Xscape building has been used By the MK Lightning Ice Hockey Team to abseil down the front to raise money for a local charity.
