With your pass you can have a go at more than 10 activities and have as many goes as you want. (Please note access is on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Check-in at the entrance then you're good to go – head to each activity and have a go, if there's no line when you're finished you can go again straight away, or choose to go and try something else.
