Tickets

A limited number of general tickets are available on-site, but to guarantee your spot, we highly recommend booking online in advance.

All tickets are non-refundable; however, you can reschedule your booking up to 2 hours before your session/event starts. It is the visitor’s responsibility to check the weather and decide if conditions are suitable for participation.

You can still enter during your session, but you will not be able to extend your time once the session ends. If there is availability in the next session, and only at the discretion of the manager on duty, you may be allowed to relax in the park and return for the next available session.

We keep bouncing if there’s just a drizzle, but heavier rain will require us to close for safety reasons. If the forecast suggests rain, we recommend rescheduling your visit at least 2 hours before your session starts.

If your session is cancelled, we will notify you as soon as possible and advise you to reschedule your booking for another date or time.
