Aqua parks and younger children

Wipeout and Warrior are the main inflatable parks. Splash Kingdom is listed for ages three to seven, with an accompanying adult on the inflatable. The combined Ultimate course is listed for July and August; check session availability.

For the main aqua parks, the operator publishes minimum age 6. Its page lists a 1.2-metre minimum height but also says participants must be over 1.2 metres, so confirm eligibility directly if the child is exactly that height. It requires participants to swim over 50 metres and be confident with a buoyancy aid.

Children aged 12 and under need a responsible adult on the water, at least one adult for every 3 children. Ages 13 to 17 may take part without an adult on the water, provided a responsible adult is on site and watching from the bank. Check the full activity rules before paying.

Paddleboarding, kayaking and wakeboarding

Paddleboarding and kayaking have their own hire and supervision conditions. Wakeboarding uses a cable system. Do not apply the aqua-park limits to every activity; read the individual activity page and booking terms.
