Can you pack a lunch instead of eating at the museum?

There is a sign that states no coolers at the entrance, if you Bring in food in a soft cooler, you should be fine. You will have to eat outside the Museum near Bill Grays or one of the other places that allow food.

Yeah they really don't care just don't bring in a big cooler.

Yes. We usually just leave it with our coats in the coat room. We have kids that are gluten and dairy free, so we pack them a lunch to bring. Very limited options for gluten and dairy free.
