Rules of Play

Helping Everyone Enjoy a Safe & Fun Visit to Ripples Play

At Ripples Play, located within the Twin Trees Hotel & Leisure Club, we want every child to enjoy a safe, exciting, and memorable play experience.

To ensure all families have a fun and comfortable visit, we kindly ask that children and supervising adults follow our Rules of Play at all times.

These guidelines help maintain a clean, safe, and enjoyable environment for everyone using our indoor play centre in Ballina, Mayo.

General Rules of Play

Adult Supervision Required

  • All children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
  • Parents or guardians remain responsible for the behaviour and safety of children in their care.

Adult supervision helps ensure children play safely and respectfully.

  • Shoes must be removed before entering the play frame or toddler areas.
  • Loose clothing, scarves, jewellery, or items that may cause entanglement should be avoided.
