Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Call (866) 306-1384 and talk to a person.

Can the child choose not to meet the character closely?

Yes. Offer watching, waving or saying hello as equally welcome choices. A trusted adult can stay close throughout.

How do we keep guest participation low-pressure?

Invite guests into one shared photo or activity, and let each child decide whether to join. Keep a clear path for anyone who needs a break.

Does the Baltimore facility example apply in Welcome?

No. It is limited to the listed Baltimore facilities. Check your actual venue's rules, and ask us to confirm visit details, costs and availability.

Character parties in Welcome

Welcome celebrations can be easier to organize when the character moment is kept simple: a warm greeting, a little room for the birthday child to respond and an optional group photo or activity. Let the child remain close to a trusted adult, and invite guests to participate without surrounding them. Check the rules of your actual venue rather than assuming another Maryland location follows the same process. Ask us about the requested character theme and confirm program details, costs and availability before planning the schedule.

Before you pick the spot in Welcome

Useful rules and places to check, each with its official source.

  1. Example: Baltimore municipal facility checks

    As a city-scoped example within Maryland, Baltimore city recreation centers provide room rental information. Baltimore directs families to their recreation center for room rental information. Check the actual room capacity, permitted entertainment and setup time rather than assuming any recreation center can host the same program. This example applies only to Baltimore's listed municipal facilities; other cities and state-managed parks have separate operators and rules. Confirm the exact venue's reservation process and permission for hired entertainment.

  2. Choose a real indoor backup

    For any outdoor gathering, arrange an accessible indoor backup before the party. National Weather Service guidance identifies buildings with wiring and plumbing as stronger protection; an open picnic shelter is not a lightning backup. This is national planning guidance, not a local venue rule.
