FAQ

PARTIES

What Is The Best Party Combination?

The most popular party combination is our Foxfall Ropes course followed by the Ringo. 50-minutes on Foxfall, followed by a 10-minute break and then a 15-minute ringo session is a brilliant party for all ages!



Which Ringo Should I Book For My Party?

We have two different ringo sizes, 2 man (small – £25) and 4 man (large – £30) all sessions are 15 minutes long and fully instructed by qualified staff. The small ringo can have up to 6 kids in a session and the large ringo can have up to 10 kids in a session. The kids will swap on and off the ringo in the 15-minute session. E.g. if you have a party of 4 and book the Large ringo they will stay on the ringo for the full 15 minutes, if you have 8 in your party they would each get 7.5 minutes on the ringo.



Is There More Than One Party Group On Foxfall On A Session?

Yes. Each Foxfall session can have up to 24 people in it, you will share the session with other parties and groups that have booked the same your as you.



Is There A Minimum Or Maximum Group Size?

There is no minimum group size for a party, the maximum number of people we can take on a Foxfall session is 24 so this may be the maximum for a party that wishes to be on the same Foxfall session.



What Is The Minimum Age/ Height Requirements?

All participants must be 6 years old on the date of the party and be at least 1.2 metres tall. They will not be able to reach certain obstacles if they are smaller than the 1.2m limit.



Must Parents Take Part In The Party?

No. Parents must be present at sign-in and be on-site during the party, but parents do not need to take part in the session. All sessions are fully supervised by qualified instructors. I don’t know final numbers – how many should I book for in the meantime? We advise you book for the maximum number of participants to avoid disappointment if the session is full later when you try and add participants. We must know your FINAL NUMBERS 48 hours before your booking – we will otherwise have to charge you in full for the sessions and participants you have booked. Preferably let us know 1 week before your booking, 48 hours is the ABSOLUTE LATEST we can amend a booking.



Can I Bring My Own Party Food?

Yes. You can bring your own party food but please respect the fact we have a café on site. All indoor seating areas and picnic benches on the decking area is reserved for café customers. Picnic benches on the grass and gravel area next to Foxfall (with an overhead shelter) are for picnics.



Does The Café Supply Party Food?

The Boardside café provide a range of delicious party options for party bookings, and will reserve you a seating area either inside or outside for after your activities. Contact the café on cafe@foxlake.co.uk for information on food packages.



Must All Parents Of Kids Attending A Party Read And Sign The Terms And Conditions?

No, if parents are happy for the party organiser to sign on their behalf of their kids. All kids must be signed for upon arrival. If you would like we will email you the terms and conditions so you can send to parents to read them before the party.



How Far Is Foxlake Adventures From Edinburgh?

WAKEBOARDING

What Is A Single Lesson?

15 minute fully instructed wakeboarding session with a qualified wakeboarding instructor. The session is suitable for all abilities, beginners will also have a dry land lesson before the session starts.



What Is A Double Lesson?

2 x 15 minute sessions with a 15-minute break in the middle. Sessions will always be instructed by our qualified wakeboarding instructors. This lesson is suitable for all abilities and allows you double the water time than the Pay and Wake session. Beginners will also have a dry land lesson before the session starts.



Is There More Than One Party Group On Foxfall On A Session?

Yes. Each Foxfall session can have up to 24 people in it, you will share the session with other parties and groups that have booked the same your as you.



Which Lesson Should I Choose?

The only difference in the sessions is the length of time you get wakeboarding! Both sessions are suitable for all abilities as our instructors will coach you depending on your ability. If you would like to progress further, we recommend the Double session. If you would like a taster session to see if wakeboarding is for you then we recommend the Single session… but be warned, it’s addictive! 15 minutes of wakeboarding for a beginner is alot of time and as wakeboarding uses muscles you don’t otherwise use it may be a good idea to start with a single 15 minute session.



Which Wakeboarding Cable Should I Book?

For beginners, it does not matter which cable you book, for wakeboarders at obstacle standard Cable 1 and Cable 2 have different obstacles so book onto which you would prefer to ride; Cable 1 obstacles: 2 x Large Kickers, 1 x Large Box and 1 x A- Frame and 1 x Incline.
Cable 2 obstacles: 2 x Small Kickers, 1 x Manual Pad and 1 x Small Box.



Does Kit Hire Come As Included In The Prices?

Yes. All necessary kit is provided – O’Neill Wetsuits, O’Neill Buoyancy Aids and a range of wakeboards in range of sizes



I Have A Large Group; Can We Book Both Cables At The Same Time?

Yes. Booking both cables at the same time will allow your group to wakeboard in half the time than if you all went on the one cable one after the other.



What Is The Cheapest Way I Can Wakeboard?

We have various options to purchase bundles of wakeboarding sessions, the most cost effective way to wakeboard is to buy a season pass for children or a bundle deal for adults. Bundle deals are bought as a bulk number of sets and are paid for in full at time of purchase
