Each session costs £12 per person, and is suitable for ages 8 and above – there's no upper age limit! Book your place at least a day in advance.
Activities are subject to change, depending on weather and other factors, so please contact us in the week before to confirm details. We start all sessions with a safety briefing, a demonstration and a chance to practice.
If your child is aged between 6 and 8 years-old you should arrange to visit the centre before booking so they can try on safety equipment, such as buoyancy aids and harnesses.
Adults accompanying children must stay on site – why not buy a ticket to take part too?
