How long does a session last?

Each session at Lake Kilrea Waterpark lasts one hour. Your one-hour session includes the mandatory safety briefing, entry onto the waterpark, your time on the waterpark, and your safe return to shore at the end of the session. The safety briefing forms part of your allocated session time and is compulsory for all participants. It’s designed to ensure the safety of everyone on the waterpark and can’t be skipped or delayed. Strongly recommend showing up at least 45 minutes before your booked session to allow enough time for check-in, changing, equipment fitting, and preparation. Customers who arrive late may have less time on the waterpark, as sessions can’t be extended. For safety, participants may be asked to leave the waterpark a few minutes early to allow enough time to return safely to shore before the next session begins. And this final bit’s important: by booking, you acknowledge that the advertised one-hour session refers to the complete waterpark experience, including the briefing, entry, exit, and all safety procedures.
