Fun sessions
Open to all ages where all children must be accompanied by an
adult.
During these sessions all the features are turned on in
rotation. The waves are on for 5 minutes every 30 minutes. The
flume is on all the time and there is no limit to the number of
rides you can take. Children must be over 1 metre tall to ride the
flume. During busy periods a band system operates giving session
times of 90 minutes.
