How a visit works

Questions parents ask

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

How can a shy child meet the character?

Offer a wave or a look from beside a familiar adult. Let the child decide whether to come closer.

What should the organizer prepare?

Choose a photo spot, tell guests when the visit will happen, and identify an adult to guide the group.

Does asking for a date confirm the visit?

No. A date request is not a reservation. Ask us to confirm program details, costs, and availability.

Character parties in Grand Tower

In Grand Tower, keep the character visit easy to follow and flexible for a small gathering. Begin with a wave from a comfortable distance, then let the birthday child choose whether to say hello, join a photo, or watch with a trusted adult. A short story or simple group game can give willing guests a shared moment without making anyone perform. Before choosing an outdoor setting, remember that the available state guidance does not verify city facilities or local park policies. Ask us about program ideas, timing, costs, and availability before making plans.

Before you pick the spot in Grand Tower

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

  1. Start with the state picnic directory

    Illinois DNR provides a directory of state park picnic locations. Use it to identify the exact state-managed property, then check its shelter booking process, facilities and access with the operator. A picnic listing is not a reservation or approval for hired entertainment, and it does not establish rules for municipal parks.

    Official source (opens in a new tab)
  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.

    Official source (opens in a new tab)

Sources checked 2026-10-04. Check the current venue rules before you plan. Venue guidance does not mean a venue has approved character visits.
