General Party Information.
What to wear
It is a very chilly -5 degrees in the snow dome, so wrap the kids up nice and warm by following our friendly advice:
Clothing
We recommend that the children wear a waterproof outer layer of clothing, preferably a ski jacket and pants. Underneath the waterproof layer, wear at least two layers of warm clothing, thermals are recommended. We highly recommend kids wear a beanie to help keep them warm. Rental Clothing (Jacket & Pants) is available to hire at a cost of $12 for one item or $22 for both the jacket and pants. Alternatively you can purchase basic retail items from Snowplanet on your arrival.
Gloves
A good pair of warm and waterproof snow gloves are essential to ensure enjoyment on the snow. Gloves are available to hire at a price of $8 per pair. Alternatively we have gloves available for purchase starting from $29.99 per pair.
Socks
It is important that each person brings their own socks. They are essential when wearing our ski and snowboard boots for comfort and hygiene reasons. If you require socks on the day, we have a limited selection available for purchase starting from $24.99 per pair.
Footwear
Footwear (ski or snowboard boots) is included for all of the Kids Party Packages, so this is something to cross off your ‘worry’ list. However if parents or other adults are wanting to go in the snow there will be an extra charge for Boot hire.
Helmets
Helmets are compulsory for all children skiing or snowboarding at Snowplanet. Helmets are included for all Birthday Packages. They are not required but are available for hire for our SnowFun Birthday packages. If children do have their own helmets they are most welcome to bring them along instead.
Goggles
Goggles are not required during your visit to Snowplanet.
Child supervision
For a fun, rewarding and safe experience at Snowplanet, all children must be supervised whilst in the Snow Hall. Further information can be found here Child Supervision Safety Information. If you would like Snowplanet to do this we offer a ‘Birthday Supervision Service’ for $50 per 10 children per hour. Please ask for this when you book.
RFID cards
All packages EXCLUDE RFID access cards. RFID access cards are not required for Winter Wonderland. However they will be required for Freeride and Snowport birthday packages. RFID cards allow access to the ski mat and platter lift. RFID cards cost $7 per person and are refundable upon return.
Payment
A deposit of $100 is required to secure a birthday party booking. Full payment must be made on or before arrival (one bill per party booking).
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is there a private space we can hire?
Yes, we have built a dedicated birthday party space so that we can offer several party space options for our birthday parties.
Can we have a birthday party with less than six children?
The minimum number of children required for a Snowplanet Kids Party is six children. If there are less than six children on the day, this is no problem, however, a minimum of six children will be charged for. The maximum number of children we can accommodate per party is 20.
Can adults go on the snow with the children?
One adult receives a free Spectator Pass with each of the Kids Party Packages (excluding Rental Equipment). Rental Equipment (skis or snowboard and boots) can be purchased at a price of $50. Additional adults are required to purchase their Snow Pass and Rental Equipment at the standard prices.
Adults are responsible for ensuring their children are supervised on the snow at all times. One adult per booking of 10 children gains free entry to the snow. Extra adults wanting to supervise and assist children must purchase a Spectator Pass for $11 per person to gain entry to the snow. We recommend participating adults book in advance to avoid missing out due to capacity constraints within Winter Wonderland. If you would like Snowplanet to do this we offer a ‘Birthday Supervision Service’ for $50 per 10 children per hour. Please ask for this when you book.
Is there somewhere to store our gear while we are on the snow?
Snowplanet has lockers available for hire at a cost of $4 for 12 hours in the Rental Department. If your birthday party includes a birthday party meal, or you are reserving a party space, then if that space is free in the lead up to the party meal we can allow you to store your belongings in that party space. We will need you to remove everything from the party area after the time allotted due to other birthday party bookings requiring that space.
Can we bring our own cake?
Yes, you certainly can! The ‘Kids Party’ team here at Snowplanet love to see the effort, creativity and hard-work that goes into the creation of the amazing birthday cakes that we see, so please feel free to bake up a storm and bring your marvellous creation with you. Alternatively, delicious Snowplanet Chocolate Birthday Cakes are available for purchase at a cost of $60 each. These need to be ordered at least 7 days in advance of the booking.
Can we bring our own food?
We offer 3 different menus that you may add to your snow party package. Should you choose one of these we will provide a free party room. If you wish to bring your own food, you must hire a party room. You may choose to visit our restaurant as a casual diner without a booking after your snow party. No additional food can be brought into the 7Summits Restaurant for consumption. The only food item that is allowed to be brought in is a birthday cake, which can be stored by the Restaurant until ready. The restaurant reserves the right to request any additional food brought in to be consumed outside.
Can we have our party in the 7Summits Restaurant?
If you don’t want to hire a Party Space, and would instead like to eat in our 7Summits Restaurant, dining from the regular 7Summits menu, you need to get in touch with the Restaurant team to book a table. You may not bring your own food into the 7Summits Restaurant. Restaurant bookings are subject to availability.
Can the kids swap between skiing and snowboarding?
The ‘Snow Sports’ Package provides kids with an instructor who will help them on their way to developing new skills quickly and efficiently within the 2 hours. It is not recommended for kids taking part in this party to switch between skiing and snowboarding. Children who have a ‘Freeride’ Party package can swap between skiing and snowboarding. This utilises additional resource and will cost an additional $10 per child choosing to swap.
Can we bring glitter or confetti to decorate the tables?
No. We do not allow glitter or confetti at Snowplanet due to the process of completely removing it again. Glitter and confetti generally cannot be vacuumed up completely with our standard cleaning procedures and requires additional commercial cleaners. Should you bring any sort of glitter or confetti you will be charged a $150 commercial cleaning fee. This will need to be paid before you leave.
