Tips & Advice
- Book tickets in advance, especially for weekend or peak times, as sessions can sell out quickly.
- Dress warmly in layers and wear waterproof clothing, as you'll be outdoors and potentially getting a little wet from the snow machine.
- Arrive a little early to allow time for parking and check-in, ensuring you don't miss any of your booked session time.
- For the 'Open Sessions' designed for ages 4-12, remember that adults must supervise but cannot participate in the tobogganing.
- Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly; while snow is artificial, the outdoor setting can be chilly.
