Both! To access all areas you must have clean trainers AND Ultimate Warriors grip socks
Trainer zone
Clean trainers are required for the fixed obstacles including the wall, to ensure sufficient grip, protect feet and provide support when landing to prevent injury. Crocs, boots, sliders, flip-flops, sandals and slip-on shoes will not be accepted as trainers, this is for your safety.
Sock zone
To access the inflatable, upper deck, and slides, Ultimate Warriors Grip socks are required. They must be worn for your safety, to protect our equipment from damage, and to comply with equipment manufacturers and insurance instructions.
Ultimate Warriors socks are half-grip for your safety when using the inflatables and slides – full-grip socks, no-grip socks or bare feet are not permitted under any circumstances. Our socks are also gripped with a clear gel, so as not to damage our equipment.
Ultimate Warriors grip socks can be purchased as part of your booking, or, at check-in for just £2.50. Socks are yours to keep to a return visit.
Those without the required footwear will be refused access from part/all activities without refund.

There are no minimum or maximum height restrictions, however, a small selection of our more difficult obstacles may be out of reach to smaller participants.

We kindly ask adults not to lift their children onto high obstacles for this reason.
