Smuggle them in. Haha. Not it's not permitted

We've always brought water bottles and sack lunches and snacks. I think big coolers are more suspect. Obviously, DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS and DO NOT LITTER! Giraffe food is only about 1 dollar worth of zoo tokens, and a fun feeding experience.

The official policy as many said is No with the exception of food allergies. However as many also stated while food is good and well portioned its pricey. However we have gone in with Gatorade bottles and such and no one says anything. We joined as members and go frequently if I bought food each time I'd be broke. You can also come in and out so leave a cooler in the car works as well.

You may carry a water bottle in without being chastised. The food is overpriced, but very good and not skimpy portions. Watch out for the squirrels, they will run off with your tray while you are eating.

All above are correct. According to site and from recent visits. Outside food and coolers are not permitted unless a child or person has food allergies, then it is permitted.

Yes. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. We have a two year old and always bring a lunch box full or snacks, but even when i was little we brought oacked lunches with my family. Lots of tables and benches around to eat at in and outside of park.

No. For the latest information on "Amenities [Park Manners] and [Picnic Area]" and "Restaurants & Snacks", visit their website. https://www.riverbanks.org/plan-your-visit/guest-relations

But you can leave and come back in..is the what ww wwre told

Luke Gaikwad | Feb 26, 2019

No, you cannot, unless you specify food allergies; but there are picnic tables across the street. There is a pedestrian bridge (with elevators) to get across.
