FAQs

Is the water cold?

The water we put inside the Zorbs is warm in winter and cool in summer – approx. 40 litres to be precise. We also have toasty warm hot tubs at the top and bottom of the hill for you to enjoy. Heaters and hairdryers in the changing rooms, delicious barista coffee and free Wi-Fi you won’t even notice its winter outside.

Can children ride by themselves?

As long as your child is over our age restriction of 5 years old then they can ride inside the Zorb by themselves. For the younger kiddies we do recommend riding with an adult or other kids, it’s always more fun riding with others!

Will we bump into each other?

The nature of the ride is like a giant waterslide, you won’t bump into or hurt each other.
