Tips & Advice

  • All 2026 dates are sold out, so this one is only for families who already have tickets.
  • Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to be shown your seat. Breakfast starts sharp and lasts one hour, then The Kitchen reopens for normal service.
  • Bring the QR code ticket emailed to you after booking, and check your junk folder if it hasn't arrived.
  • Email your dietary requirements to the team after booking, because vegetarian and vegan breakfasts are available on request.
  • If you drive, budget for paid parking, and leave time after breakfast for Fort Douglas adventure park, which your ticket covers the same day.
