Access guidance
- The East, West and Central main entry points offer slopes and steps. There are no turnstiles to enter the park. The slopes coming into the park are above a 10% gradient so it is recommended that a carer assist with entry and exit. Entry/Exit via Adventure Inside is via an access lift. Our West Entrance is also our delivery entrance and there is a bollard within the centre to prevent any vehicles from driving down within open hours. It is however wide enough for wheelchair access. Entrance Gates are closed in a staggered manner in the interest of Health and Safety and Crowd Management, starting approximately 30 minutes before the park closes, the order is as follows: Adventure Golf Entrance – Closes 30 minutes before park East Entrance (opposite Rage) – Closes 20 minutes before park Adventure Inside – Closes 15 minutes before park Three Shells Entrance – Closes at park close All of the above times are approximate, and we would advise guests with mobility impairment to take the above into consideration when planning their visit.
- All of our toilets have a disabled facility. They are located on the far east of the park by the Dining-Saurs Cafe, in the centre of the park by the east entrance slope (next to the Green Scream Roller Coaster), and also at the far west of the park. All toilet facilities have automatic taps. There are also baby changing units provided at all three sites. Please see the park map for further reference to locations.
- Due to the nature and environment of a theme park, we have strict guidelines to follow when guests bring dogs in to the park. Dogs without intense training can find Adventure Island, with the noise and flashing lights, very stressful and may cause the animal to act out of nature.

Proof, in the Form of an I.D. book, will be required. They must not wander freely around the park and must sit quietly on the floor Next to their owner.
