Special requirements: Please inform us and we will do all we can to help. If a child has allergies we cannot guarantee that our products are nut free as most suppliers now add a disclaimer.

If you decide to bring a birthday cake please hand this to staff on arrival. Birthday cake can be placed in party bags during the food. You can obtain a knife from the staff to cut the cake but please ensure it is kept away from children and returned as soon as you or your helpers have finished with it.

Do I need to bring anything to go into the party bags?

Our party bags are always well received. Sweets are kept to a minimum, if you would prefer not to have any sweets please advise the office when booking. We will assume when booking that the ages of the attending children are the same as your child. If the ages vary please advise the office 48 hours before the start of the party to allow us time to amend the party bags.

NewWhy is there no longer a tractor ride?

We have increasingly found that having tractor rides at the beginning or end of the party was affecting the time the children spent in the Park. Children arriving late, parents in a hurry and some children not wishing to take part was causing an issue. If the birthday child wishes to have a tractor ride you are welcome to arrive a little earlier or the birthday child and his/ her parents can re-enter the Park to take part in this activity at your leisure.

Does our party get to feed the animals?

You are more than welcome to visit aMaizin barnyard to see the animals however the feeding times are at certain times to ensure the welfare of the animals.

You have timed activities, how can I ensure my child can access a favourite activity?

Tractor rides and animals are referred to above. The "Big Drop" is also timed. Please discuss with your party co-ordinator when booking who will advise you which party slots match your requirements. Don't forget that the birthday child and his/her parents are not charged for re-entry into the park so you can ensure your child has use of favourite activities after the party if this suits your requirements.

What do I need to bring?

You only need to bring the cake, candles and matches/lighter. It is an idea to bring a change of clothes for the Water Warriors and a few pens if you would like to do the maze (if party is booked after the 1st of July)

How long does the party last?

All party slots are set for two hours long.

Can we have a longer party?

The party length is set at 2 hours as we find this is ideal for children as they are expending considerable energy.

Why can't parents come into aMaizin! Adventure Park to collect their children?

We have a designated drop off and pick up point outside the barnyard, This ensures that the party parent collects and drops back the children to a designated guardian. aMaizin! Adventure Park takes the safety of children very seriously and collecting parents are not always known to the birthday child's parents. The collection and drop off at the party point helps to ensure that no child can leave the Park with someone other than their parent or guardian.

We also have an issue that we are only insured for paying visitors. Collecting parents are not insured to be in the Park and it is important that we follow procedures laid down by our insurers.

Do you supervise the parties?

We co-ordinate the food and party bags, and are always around if you need anything or have any questions but due to the nature of the attraction we cannot supervise the parties and responsibility remains with the party parents at all times. We suggest a 1:5 ratio of adults to children. Any member of staff can contact the party co-ordinator for you by radio.

Can we bring more adults than suggested?

We do try and be flexible with adult helpers however from experience we know that more helpers can sometimes mean less support. Younger children aged 3 and 4 may like to have a parent stay with them, we are happy to allow one parent to stay with each party child.

Extra adults and children will need to pay the normal entrance price at the front desk before entering the park.

Can my helper bring in children that are not part of the party?

Any extra adults and children will need to pay the normal entrance price at the front desk before entering the park. If additional children are not part of the party they will need to go to the Main entrance area and will be charged the regular rate.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We will decide if the Park is safe and advise you based on experience but we leave the final decision with you. Some activities may not be able to operate in wet weather. The party co-ordinator will explain any restrictions and liaise with you. If it is raining a lot and you would rather reschedule the party we are happy to do so subject to availability.

If it is showery are there undercover areas?

There are a number of undercover areas if showers are forecast. These include the barnyard, Dusty Mountain Gold Mine, Mole Hill, the Dino Dig and the party marquee where the children eat.

Some of the children attending the party are seasonal members do I get a reduction?

The parties are subsidised as there is a high return rate from children attending the parties which we factor into the initial cost so there is no reduction.

Can we have a weekday party?

We find weekday parties are often preferred by parents as the park is quieter than at weekends and supervision is easier. The minimum number of children during weekdays is 10, you will need a minimum of 14 children at weekends.

Where can I obtain some more invitations?

For your convenience we have a download version available for you to print. If you prefer a hard copy these can be collected from the front desk 7 days a week from 10am until 6pm. Please return any unused postcards at the time of your party.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Ensure that your guests bring clothing suitable for wet play. Your party will run more smoothly if the wet play areas are used at the start of your party. This allows plenty of time to change clothing! Bags are then easily retrieved when departing the Park. We also have a small portaloo at the exit if required.
