Snow4kids caters to a lot of very young customers. To ensure their safety snowball fights with real snowballs are not allowed.  Snowballs made from real snow can be painful and cause serious health damage when they hit people, especially young children. To keep everybody safe and happy we ask you to only throw snowball at the provided targets.

WHAT ARE THE AGE RESTRICTIONS?

The park is suitable to people of all ages to come along and experience the magic of real snow. Building a real snowman if great fun for all ages. We generally recommend the Snow4Kids Park for children aged 12 and under, but of course each child is different and may respond differently to the attractions (some may be more or less amused than others despite age).  If older children are attending, they will need to be mindful of the younger children in the Park.

DOES THERE NEED TO BE ONE ADULT PER CHILD FOR SUPERVISION? 

No. If you have one child, you will need at least one adult. But if, for example, one adult was to bring along 2 or 3 children alone, that would be fine. It is just important that all children are supervised by at least one adult.

MY CHILD IS A TEENAGER, CAN I LEAVE THEM THERE ALONE OR LEAVE THEM TO SUPERVISE MY YOUNGER CHILD ALONE?

Children over the age of 12 years are welcome to use the Snow4Kids park by themselves. They are not able to supervise younger children. Children under the age of 12 years need to be supervised by an adult carer or parent.
