In 1922, Charles Wicksteed constructed a slanted piece of playground equipment from wooden planks to stand in a play area for children - thus conceptualizing the slide. Since then, the simple and fun structure has breached all limitations of the imagination, leading to the formulation of water slides, drop slides, and tube slides.
At the top of the iconic US Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles sits a 45-foot, fully enclosed all-glass adventure. The glass slide is part of OUE Skyspace LA, an immersive experience that offers an open-air observation deck and provides 360-degree views of the city, numerous photograph opportunities, and tasty beverages.
Formulated from three-ply glass, 1.25 inches thick, and made to withstand winds of up to 110 miles per hour, the slide was airlifted to the 69th terrace to be installed. Since then, the SkySlide has offered visitors of OUE Skyspace LA a chance to glide down from the 70th floor to the 69th while witnessing breathtaking views of the city and emerging into the open air.
Truly a unique gem in the city of Los Angeles, the SkySlide is definitely an experience to check off the list for any visitor, or Los Angeles local. Join us as we brave riding down the one and only SkySlide at Skyspace LA.
