WV State Park gift cards include something extra to encourage visits to parks and forests

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The perfect gift is one that keeps on giving, and West Virginia State Parks is including something extra this holiday season on gift card purchases of $100 or more.

Through Dec. 18, the state parks system is offering “Something Extra” coupons for every $100 gift card purchased. This bonus includes eight coupons that can be used at select state parks and forests in 2018. Gift cards may be purchased online at www.wvstateparks.com or by calling 304-558-2764. There is no shipping or handling fee. Gift cards and “Something Extra” coupons are mailed together through the U.S. Postal Service.

“Our ‘Somethings Extra’ coupons are great value and encourage visitors to get out and discover the fun and affordable activities our state parks and forests offer,” said Carol Stewart, who administers the gift card program. “State parks are popular vacation spots, so a gift card with something extra makes a great holiday present for friends and family.”

While West Virginia State Park gift cards may be used on lodging and cabin rentals, dining, gift shops and other activities at any time at all parks and forests, “Something Extra” coupons have expiration dates.
