Our summer calendar offers many other special events, programs and cultural events which are extra-charge activities. Extra-charge events include miniature golf, Orchestra Hall movies, Rhein Center Classes, Womens Club Tour of Homes and the Symphony Candlelight Showcase to name a few.

You may also order your adult and youth gate passes, and auto, trailer and golf cart passes by mail, fax (419-798-5033) or online at www.lakesideohio.com. Listed below is the fee schedule for 2007. Adult and youth season pass holders will be issued photo ID cards. Persons who held season passes in previous years can use the photo that is on file, submit a photo of your choice (2 x 2 or larger), or have a new photo taken in our office. New season pass holders can either submit their own photo or come in to have a photo taken. If you choose to use the photo we have on file, or submit your own photo, we can mail your 2008 season pass to you. If you choose to have a photo taken by us, you can still purchase your pass in advance. We will send a voucher to be exchanged for your pass when you come in for your photo.
