- Many centres have age or height restrictions for particular zones (especially trampolines).
- Babies under a certain age are often free but check the exact age requirements
- Look out for discounts, sibling rates, membership deals or off‑peak pricing.
- Most places have cafés or snack options, but check whether you can bring your own food.
- It’s a good idea to bring socks (some venues require special grip socks).
