Pets and assistance dogs

Currently, we do not allow dogs at:

  • Aztec Adventure Upton Warren

Aztec Adventure Upton Warren is very fortunate that its home is on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). We have a duty to protect our flora and fauna; a condition of this is that Natural England do not allow dogs on site. 

Aztec Adventure The Lost Valley welcomes well behaved dogs and their owners! The Valley is dog friendly with walks, dog events and benefits from having some dog-friendly stores. 

Dogs are allowed at Aztec Adventure Lower Moor but must be on a lead at all times. Please note that dogs are not allowed in the lake. 

Please note no other animals are permitted at Aztec Adventure The Lost Valley and Aztec Adventure Lower Moor. 

All of our sites do allow assistance dogs.

Waterproof cameras

All cameras must be secured by a chest harness. We cannot be held responsible for any lost devices - wearing a camera is at your own risk. If lost the water is deep in excess of 3m. 

Wildlife and fish

There are ducks and geese that live on and around the lakes at Upton Warren and Lower Moor. There are also fish in the lakes, both large and small. 

What happens with bad weather?

Rain: Our sessions will still go ahead if it’s raining—after all, you’re going to get wet anyway!  

Lightening: If we observe lightning and hear thunder in the vicinity, we must pause the session for safety reasons. Ensure all participants are on the shore. We unfortunately will not be able to restart the session for at least 30 minutes. If conditions improve and we can safely resume without affecting other sessions, we will do so. If not, you have the following options:

  • Rebook onto a session later in the day, subject to availability.
  • Rebook for a different day.
  • Request a refund.

Your safety is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding.             

Blue Light Card Discounts

Please note that we do not offer Blue Light Card Discounts. Our 2025 pricing includes seasonal rates, combo bookings (20% discount on the second activity when you purchase adventure golf or the high ropes aerial adventure course, or aqua park and boat hire), and group discounts—available exclusively for pre-booked online bookings—so you can save more when you bring friends and family along. On-the-day pricing may vary, and all activities and courses are subject to availability. For more information, visit: Book Ahead for Your Adventures in 2025.
