Our kids clubs, Billy Beachball Club (age 5-19 years) and Betty's Buddy Club (age 0-4 years) are not child minding facilities and parents or guardians are required to stay with their children throughout the session.

Children at Extreme Teen Club (10-15+ years) do not require parental supervision but parents must remain on the Park throughout the session and be aware when their children are due to finish their session.
