Durham gives parents a few different kinds of space for a costumed character party, and the right choice usually depends on the time of year and whether you want an outdoor shelter or an indoor room. Settling the venue early makes the rest of the planning easier.
Durham's parks and picnic shelters are a common choice for birthday gatherings. The picnic shelter season runs from April 1 through October 31. Outside that period, shelters are used on a first-come, first-serve basis, so ask the parks office how that works before you pick a date. Whether an outside entertainer may be brought into a particular shelter is for the venue to confirm, and it is worth asking what set-up and clean-up your group will be expected to handle.
