Picnicking

Adventureland does not allow you to bring food or beverages into the Amusement Park. If you bring your own food, we suggest you leave it in your car until meal time. A picnic shelter area is provided just outside our Front Gate entrance.

Answers to Your Questions

The following information will be helpful in planning your outing at Adventureland.

1. Should an outing include both admission and a meal? A meal is a great opportunity to create an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie among employees and their families. It provides a greater sense of personal relationship away from day-to-day working conditions.
2. How far in advance do we need to reserve a picnic facility for an outing? If an exact date is important, it is advisable to reserve your outing date early in the year. If your outing date can be somewhat flexible, facilities, in many instances, are still available later in the season.
3. How many people should we plan for? Generally, if the company is paying for the entire admission and/or meal, you can figure your attendance will be approximately two times the number of employees invited.
4. What will the total cost be? Multiply the quoted cost of admission plus meal cost, if applicable, times the number of people expected.
5. Should the company pay for the entire cost of admission and/or meal? This would depend upon your budget. Most companies will pay for the entire cost of admission and meal. Other companies require employees to pay for a portion of the cost per person.
6. Who should be eligible to go? It is certainly your company's choice, but most companies invite all employees and their immediate families. This can be determined by:
   • verifying the number of company-insured family members
   • verifying from tax withholding forms
   • verifying through spot checks of reservations turned in
7. Should employees be allowed to bring along additional guests and/or grandchildren? Some companies allow employees to bring additional guests beyond their immediate family by paying the company for the total cost of the additional admissions and/or meals.
8. How far in advance should employees be notified? Notify the employees of the date as soon as possible. Allow employees to begin making reservations four or five weeks ahead with an absolute deadline 10 days prior to the outing.
9. How should actual reservations be handled? A reservation form can be distributed to all eligible employees. The form should include the following information:
   • Name of employee
   • Number of people, 4 years and older, attending the outing
   • Number of people, regardless of age, who will want a meal
   • Cut-off date for reservations
   • Name of person to contact if there are questions
   • Name of person to turn the reservation forms in to
10. How long should we plan for serving a meal? Plan approximately one-half hour for every five hundred (500) people. Make sure that each person that wants to eat a meal has a meal ticket. Everyone that picks up a plate in the buffet line will need a meal ticket, regardless of age.
