Frequently Asked Questions
​
What do you do if there is rain or lighting?
We have installed two 63 sqm shelters with lightning protection system and we are now more weather resilient than ever before. Should lightning begin during your session you can stay and play in our shelters or head to the cafe until the storm passes.
​
If we face adverse weather conditions at the time of your session start and in our area in Dempsey we follow the process below. We never take any action until at least 1 hour before your session start.
​
Please check your emails for updates. if you do not hear from us please assume the session is going ahead as usual or its too early to make any decisions to alter plans.

What is the minimum age to attend?
The minimum age for entry to Nature Playtime is 18 months old. Nature Playtime is recommend for children from 2yrs to 10years old. Children accompanying a child 18m and older may enter but will require a ticket if they are walking.
​
How many adults can accompany one child?
One adult is included with every purchased ticket. Extra adults can top-up at the gate. The small wear and tear fee for extra adults in our nature space helps us to keep the ecosystem healthy despite higher footfall.

I would like to bring my baby with my older child, do I have to pay?
Children who are walking require a ticket.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Please view our terms and conditions before pre-booking.
Your pre-booking is non-refundable and non-transferable by Wildlings but you may pass your ticket to a friend if you can not make it on the day. We make the decision to open for nature playtime based upon pre-bookings and for this reason pre-booked tickets are non-refundable for any reason, including sickness (this is the most frequent reason for petitions for rebooking).
If your child is sick please find an alternative person to take your ticket or consider your ticket to be forfeit.
Please do not send us personal medical certificates.
​
If you are unwilling to accept this policy please consider our walk-in option instead. This way you can be sure you can attend on the day. If you are considering walking-in, please check that the session is available to book online so that you can be sure that it is going ahead as we are often booked for private events.
Should I pre-book?
Yes please. Minimum bookings are required for some sessions to go ahead and we make this decision based upon pre-bookings. So if you would like to come please do book in advance. If we do not meet the minimum number to run the session you will be offered a rebooking or refund.
