Bring out your inner artist at the Craft Shack! Campers can pick from a variety of camping themed, seasonal, and playful ceramics to paint.

The Craft Shack is open on weekends in the spring and fall and daily in the summer.

Get groovy by creating your very own tie-dye tee! You will tie your shirt to create a fun design and then pick the colors you want to make it your own. You can purchase a Jellystone Park™ souvenir shirt or bring your own t-shirt. Tie-Dye is available at the Craft Shack during their hours of operation. There is a fee whether you buy a shirt or bring your own.
Special Events with the Bears
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ at Daddy Joe's loves our bears! We offer events throughout the year that allow you special time with the bears. These events have a fee associated with them. Some of the events offered are birthday parties, milk & cookie delivery, breakfast delivery, Easter baskets from the bears, Mother's Day breakfast delivery, donut decorating, and more. We also offer free events with our bears such as story time, "hey" rides, games, and photos. If there is a bear emoji next to an activity that means one of our bears will attend the event!
Please check the activity calendar for days and times of these events as they do not run daily. Activities are subject to change without notice.
"Hey, Hey, Hey" Wagon Rides
The “Hey, Hey, Hey” Wagon Ride is a fun way to see the park! Passengers will meet at the Pic-A-Nic Basket Patio. One of our bears will greet you, pose for photos, and make sure everyone gets a great send-off. The ride then takes a trip around Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ at Daddy Joe’s!
The activities on the ride go along with the theme of the week. This includes singing songs, learning interesting facts about the theme’s subject, and other fun surprises! Throughout the Halloween weekends we take a “Hey ride” to the Magic Pumpkin Patch. During the hotter months, we have an H2O ride where all riders are guaranteed to get soaking wet.
Guests of all ages will enjoy this adventurous ride through our resort!
The “Hey, Hey, Hey” Wagon Ride runs at different times of the day during the activities schedule. For specific times, refer to the detailed Activities Schedules published 1-2 weeks before the themed weekend.
