Insider tips

Bring a reloadable play card to track arcade credits and prize tickets digitally.

Check the official website for 'unlimited ride' wristband deals before arriving to save on individual ticket costs.

Visit the indoor sections during wet weather, as they remain fully operational when outdoor rides are paused.

What to avoid

Do not rely exclusively on outdoor rides if the local weather forecast predicts high winds, as these force temporary closures.

Good to know

Outdoor rides are seasonal and weather-dependent, while the indoor arcade and bowling facilities operate throughout the year.

Etiquette
