At the same time please pay attention and follow any instructions that staff may give to you or your child from time to time whilst you are at Big Sky.

As parent or carer you are required to appropriately supervise your child(ren) whilst at Big Sky and to have your child(ren) conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.

PLEASE NOTE: Children must wear socks at all times. If you have arrived without socks then please see a member of staff at reception where socks may be purchased. On some rides shorts or skirts are not permitted and full leggings are required such as the climbing wall & the drop slide. So in the warm weather if your children are in shorts please bring a spare pair of leggings to avoid disappointment.
