When to eat
- Eat lunch before noon, when supervisors have more time.
- Plan one meal at Trapper's Smokehouse and one at Das Festhaus.
- Order the gluten-free pizza at Das Festhaus early, since it takes time.
What to bring
- Email the park before your trip to ask about bringing gluten-free food.
- Pack small single-serve snacks, which are always allowed.
- Bring an empty water bottle. One bottle of water per person is allowed.
Festivals and Water Country USA
- The Food and Wine Festival runs in spring. Booth dishes are made in small spaces, so ask before you order.
- Howl-O-Scream in the fall and Christmas Town in winter bring seasonal menus. Fewer restaurants may be open, so plan ahead.
- At Water Country USA next door, Boardwalk Southwest Grill is the designated allergy-friendly location.
