You absolutely can bring in your own food and drink and are encouraged to do so! If you are planning on visiting in the near future, I highly recommend arriving when they open at 8:00am. Not only are the animals more active then, you and your family will be more comfortable as well.
Also, the shaded space Jenaway was speaking of, has fans!!
We brought in water and lunch, they have tables in the enterance, shaded too!
