Is there a maximum drop off time when you enter the car park?
There will be an exemption window of any fixed penalty notice if the driver enters and leaves within 30 minutes.
Do you offer a carers' discount?
We do not offer a general carers’ discount. However, if you have an Access Card from Nimbus Disability with the +1 symbol, we offer a free essential companion ticket. This means that if you're taking part in one of our adventures and have an Access Card that includes the +1 symbol, your essential companion can also take part free of charge. If your essential companion is only there to assist and doesn’t want to take part in the adventure themselves, we’ll still accommodate them free of charge.
We can only offer a free essential companion ticket if the participant has an Access Card that includes the +1 symbol, as this helps us identify individual access needs and there career is over the age of 16 years. If you don’t yet have a card, you can apply for one here. There’s an optional £15 upgrade for a 3-year membership, which is recognised by other UK attractions too.

Do you accept the Access Card from Nimbus Disability?
Yes, we do.
If you have an Access Card from Nimbus Disability with the +1 symbol, we offer a free essential companion ticket to a career over 16 years old. This allows your essential companion to join you on the adventure free of charge, as long as you're a paying participant. If they’re only there to assist and don’t want to take part themselves, we’ll still accommodate them at no cost.
Please note that due to the nature of our experiences, not all adventures are accessible for every disability. We want all our guests to have the best and safest possible experience, so we recommend giving us a call to discuss your specific access needs before booking.
You can reach our team on 01248 601 444 or email accessibility@zipworld.co.uk – we're happy to help and advise on what’s suitable for you.
If you don’t yet have an Access Card, you can register for one here. There's also an optional £15 upgrade for a 3-year membership that’s recognised by other attractions across the UK.
How do I book using my Access Card?
If you wish to book an adventure and hold an Access Card, we ask that you get in touch with us to make the booking on 01248 601 444. We will discuss any additional needs required for your booking, and then ask for your Access Card ID. This will then show us if you qualify for an essential companion ticket. An essential companion ticket can only be processed over the phone and in advance of your booking. If you have not booked or discussed your booking with us in advance, we can't issue an essential companion ticket on the day. For more information on the 'Essential Companion Ticket', please visit this FAQ.
Are there charging ports to charge my car?

Guests and customers can use the car park at the Tyn-y-Coed at no charge. Just make sure to register your vehicle at reception upon arrival to activate complimentary parking. There is a 10 minute grace period from parking to entering your registration at reception.
