Questions parents ask

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

Do Ohio state parks always require a reservation for a shelter?

Not always. Most parks offer shelters first-come, first-served, but some let you reserve a shelter house for day use. Check the specific park before you plan.

How far ahead can I book a day-use facility in an Ohio state park?

Reservations for cabins and day-use facilities open twelve months before your desired arrival date, according to the state's reservation policy.

Will I need a permit for a birthday party with a costumed entertainer?

Some events held in state parks require a permit from the Ohio Division of State Parks and Watercraft. Confirm with the park whether your gathering needs one.

Planning a character visit in Ohio

Shelter choices and booking timing

Most Ohio state parks offer picnic shelters on a first-come, first-served basis, though some parks allow you to reserve a shelter house for day use. Reservation windows also vary by facility type: campsites and unique getaways open six months before your arrival date, while cabins and day-use facilities open twelve months ahead. If you want a reserved shelter, check which kind of facility your park offers and book as early as the calendar allows.

Permits for events

Certain activities and events held in Ohio state parks may require a permit from the Ohio Division of State Parks and Watercraft. Before you commit to a date, ask the park whether a birthday gathering with an entertainer falls under that requirement, since the answer depends on the specifics of your event.

Questions to ask before booking

Ask the park or shelter whether it is open air or enclosed, how many guests it can comfortably hold, whether it has tables, grills, or fireplaces, and whether a backup indoor space is available if weather changes. Ask whether the character visit needs a permit and how far in advance you should request one.

Your program is shaped around your request. Activities and their order may differ from these examples.
