We advise on the following with regards to the ages of people attending a Team Base Tour:

• If children under 16 years old attend a Team Base Tour, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver to permit their attendance. 

The Tech Site has a lot of loud noise from vehicles/ operations and the smell of chemicals may be disturbing for younger children so we would advise partner tours/ public tours against bringing children under 8 on the Tech Base Tours.

Parents need to be aware that children with certain conditions may be affected or triggered by the light, noise and activity in the Tech Base areas.
