Catered Events, Rent the Parks, Group Outings and Birthday Parties must be booked with a non-refundable deposit (amount is based on the group).
Your Sales and Catering Representative can provide you with maps and brochures in advance of your event to use in informing your group of their upcoming event. By request only.
Your Sales and Catering Representative can provide you with your tickets in advance of your event so that you can distribute the tickets to your group.
Groups booking a catered picnic or rent the park are sent separate admission and meal tickets so that members of your group can come to the park anytime they want during regular operating hours. The meal ticket is required for entrance into the picnic area and for food service.
If your group is having a catered meal you will need to let your Sales and Catering Representative know at least ten working days in advance of your event of how many meals to order and prepare.
Payment MUST be made on the day of your event. Calaway Park accepts payment by cash, cheque, credit or debit card. An interest charge of 3% per month is charged on all overdue accounts.

Available in $1 or $5 increments.
When it rains, our rides and attractions continue to operate (though some may close temporarily during thunder and lightning storms). The park can still be enjoyed in a variety of weather conditions. You can grab a bite to eat or shop until the weather passes. Many of our guests enjoy visiting in the rain – lines of any kind are practically non-existent and when the family is dressed for it, rain can be a lot of fun! Rain gear is sold in our gift shop. Groups who gave a credit card to confirm a group outing or group with meal vouchers and do not show without notifying Calaway Park due to weather will be charged a $100 cancellation fee.
If you have booked a catered event it will carry on as scheduled regardless of weather.
If you choose to cancel your event, you must do so at least 4 hours prior to your scheduled meal time. Up to 4 hours prior we will work with you to develop a solution that ensures a win-win outcome for yourself and for Calaway Park. If we do not hear from you 4 hours prior to your scheduled meal time, the event will carry on as scheduled and you will be responsible for paying for the full cost of food you confirmed. (Please note, deposits for catered events are non refundable).
If the park chooses to close due to inclement weather, we will work with you to re-schedule your event or to provide a solution that ensures your group can enjoy the park at another time.
We appreciate having a cell phone number in order to stay in touch with you on the day of your event.
