What parents should know

Summarized from real visitor reviews.

Best for: Families looking for a large, unique playground as a supplementary activity during a zoo visit.Older children or those who can navigate busy, self-directed play environments, particularly during off-peak hours.Advertised as suitable 'for children of all ages'.Toddlers and very young children face significant safety concerns due to non-enforcement of the 42-inch height limit in their designated play areas, allowing older children and teenagers to create a chaotic and potentially dangerous environment.

Insider tips

  • Allocate at least 45 minutes for your visit, especially if it's part of a larger zoo trip.
  • Be prepared for potential overcrowding and a 'madhouse' atmosphere if visiting during peak times.
  • Parents of toddlers should be extra vigilant and prepared to supervise closely, as height restrictions (42-inch limit) in designated toddler areas may not be enforced, leading to older children and teenagers in these spaces.
  • Clarify exit procedures upon arrival to avoid potential issues, as one review mentioned staff 'may not let you' leave freely.

Good to know before you go

  • Peak times, if you prefer a quieter, less chaotic play experience.
  • If you have toddlers and are highly concerned about their safety in shared play zones where height restrictions are not enforced and older children are present.
  • If you expect strict staff supervision and enforcement of playground rules.
  • Can become 'a bit of a madhouse' during peak times due to overcrowding.
  • Lack of attentive staff supervision; one employee ('Ryan') was reported as 'spacing out' and not enforcing rules.

"The new jungle gym is amazing. Lots to do. For children of all ages. During peak times, it's a bit of a madhouse, though. If you take your kids be careful of whenever you try to leave because they may not let you. I do recommend."

"Ryan who works the jungle gym was too busy spacing out! 😡The sign says “no kid over 42 inch should be allowed in the toddler space”, but he didn’t even mention to those kids who are much more than 42inches. Teenagers running around, tall kids running on the sofa, it was a mess. Feel sorry for those little ones."
