What happens if I arrive late?
If you are late you will lose your booked slot. If we have spaces available you may be allowed to join a later session. This depends on how busy the sessions are and is subject to the discretion of the management.
Do I need to book in advance?
We suggest you book online before you arrive to avoid disappointment. Our sessions fill up very quickly, especially during peak times; there is no guarantee we will have spaces available if you arrive without pre-booking but you can purchase tickets on the gate subject to availability
How long is a session?
You have a choice of four different sessions, within our regular opening times from 10:00am to around 6:00pm. These sessions are 10:00am - 12:00pm, 12:00pm - 2:00pm, 2:00pm - 4:00pm, and 4:00pm - 6:00pm. The session timings include check in and watching the safety video.
Are you open if it rains or there is bad weather?
We will be open if it rains. Overplay has two exciting play areas. One is housed in our 12m high big top, protecting visitors from the rain. The second play area is outside and will only be open on dry days. Please note: No refunds will be issued due to rain, as our Big Top keeps the adventure going in any weather. In the event of extremely high winds, the event will be cancelled for your safety. If the event is cancelled, your ticket will be refunded.
Can I reserve gate tickets if a session is sold out online?
Unfortunately, we cannot reserve gate tickets or release additional online tickets once a session is sold out. At Overplay, our standard capacity is 120 guests. When our outdoor section is open, we can accommodate more people, but this depends on the weather. In addition to rain, overnight moisture or heavy dew can also make the outdoor area unsafe to open. To ensure conditions are suitable, we wait until just before the session to confirm no rain or dew-related issues before releasing a limited number of gate tickets. These tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and we’re unable to hold them for anyone. To secure your place, it is advisable to book in advance online.
