When to eat
- Eat lunch before noon, when supervisors have more time.
- Plan your main meal at Marco Polo's Marketplace.
What to bring
- Email the park before your trip to ask about bringing your own 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 in spring marks plant-based dishes with a symbol. Past menus included a plant-based kelewele (fried plantains) and agua fresca in the Africa cabin.
- 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. Ask what can be made vegan.
