You’re Invited to our Fourth Annual Princess Family Picnic!
On Sunday, June 2, pack up your favorite snacks and come celebrate the start of summer with our princess family! Join old favorites, new friends, and some of our rarer characters, too, at Thacher State Park for a day of casual fun.
The theme of this year’s picnic is Ever After! Our characters will share the lives they've made after their own Happily Ever Afters and their dreams for the future!
A Family Ticket (up to four family members) is $90 and includes:
- Interactions and Photo Ops with at least EIGHT magical characters! (Characters may vary from those pictured in advertising.)
- Live singing performances and sing-a-longs
- Dance lessons and story time
- Party favors for each child
- A cupcake for each guest (adults too!)
- Games, bubbles, and more
Additional children from the same household can be added for $8. Family is defined as adults who reside in a single household and their biological, adopted, foster, or step-children.
CREATE YOUR OWN FAMILY!!
We know families come in all shapes and sizes, and that sometimes "family" doesn't mean a blood relation. If you have only a family of three, feel free to invite a friend to join your ticket group. Only have two? We're ok with you pairing up with a friend to share a ticket. However, please be respectful and do not take advantage. We need to pay our event costs and stay within our event capacity. If your immediate family has 4 or more members, please DO NOT simply add on additional guests from another family.
Event Details:
WHERE: The event will take place in the Hailes Cave Picnic Pavilion at Thacher State Park in Voorheesville. A map will be provided in the facebook event discussion. If you don’t have a NY State Park Pass, daily admittance to the park is $6 per vehicle. The park fee is NOT included in your ticket.
WHEN: The event will run from 12:30-2:15. You may continue to enjoy other areas of the state park before or after your scheduled time! If the first time slot fills, we may add a second. HOWEVER, we have to do this early, so please do not delay in purchasing your tickets!
We encourage families to bring picnic blankets and folding chairs if they wish! However there is plenty of seating for everyone within the picnic pavilion.
Feel free to wear your favorite princess dress or adventure outfit! We recommend comfortable footwear for natural terrain. Don’t forget sunblock and bug spray!
