Questions parents ask

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

How far ahead can I reserve a South Dakota state park picnic shelter?

According to South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, reservations for campsites, cabins and picnic shelters can generally be made within 90 days of arrival. Confirm the current window with the park before you plan.

When is the last day to book a picnic shelter?

Reservations for cabins, lodges and picnic shelters must be made by midnight two days before arrival. Booking earlier gives you more options for your preferred date.

Can I bring a costumed character to a park picnic shelter?

That depends on the venue's rules, so ask the park or shelter manager directly. Do not assume outside entertainment is allowed until you have a clear answer.

What should I ask my character before booking?

Ask what activities are possible, how long the visit can run, how setup works, and what is included. Confirm details in writing before the party date.

Planning a character visit in South Dakota

Booking a picnic shelter at a state park

If your party is held at a South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks site, reservations for cabins, lodges and picnic shelters can generally be made up to 90 days before arrival. Reservations for those same shelters must be completed by midnight two days before your arrival date. Check these windows early, especially for spring and summer weekends, and confirm the details with the park before you commit.

Questions to ask the venue

Before you book a character, confirm the basics with whoever manages your space. Ask whether outside entertainers are permitted, whether there is a power outlet nearby, how early setup can begin, and whether the shelter is reserved for your full booking window. Ask about any rules for decorations, food, and music. These answers shape which character visit will work.

Shaping the visit to your character

Think about the children's ages and how long the visit should run. Discuss with your character booking which activities could fit, such as a meet-and-greet, a short group game, or photos. These are options to talk through, not included services, so confirm what is offered when you book.

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