Terms and conditions
When booking a play session our visitors agree to Hero Towns’ terms and conditions:
Hero Town is a play centre where the parents or guardians accept full responsibility for the supervision of the children in their care. Hero Town staff cannot be asked to supervise any child for any reason.
Children of all ages are welcome to play, but the centre is specifically designed for young children (0 – 8 years). Older children may need to be made aware that some of the resources are not appropriate for their use, e.g. equipment that is too small for them.
Any child must always be accompanied by an adult. Even though your child may be able to play independently, you should stay nearby to ensure that resources and other visitors are treated with respect.
All play and stay sessions to be pre-booked online in advance. Pre-booked party slots will be booked out by the centre for you.
Play sessions last 90 mins each, the times of which are listed on our website booking page, Facebook and entrance doors. If you join a play session already in progress, you will need to leave at the end of that session, even if you have not been there for the full session. It is your responsibility to arrive on time for your session. If you miss your play session or part thereof, refunds and transfers will not be available. At the end of the 90 minutes session customers will be asked to leave the indoor premises to allow staff time to deep clean and tidy all areas ready for the next session. A warning call will be given 15 minutes before the end of the play session.
Hero Town reserves the right to close the whole or part of the play centre at any time if deemed necessary for the security and safety of guests and staff. Customers will then have a choice to either re-book their places or receive a refund.
Loyalty cards are available on request. For every 9 sessions paid for in full you receive the 10th session free. Loyalty card admits one child and one adult free.
No food or drink is allowed in the play areas.
