I do not know the official answer to your question and I did not see anyone eating at tables inside the park. The Kangaroos, of which there are many, run free and I’m not sure eating in the park would be a good idea. Best to call them.

Hi Your entry fee includes all Keeper Talks, a Guided Tour at 11am and you are free to roam around all day if you wish. You can pat Kangaroo's for free and get really close to all our other animals. If you want a photo as a memento of your visit, with an animal of your choice, that is an extra fee. Just a reminder you can get up close to Koala's in Victoria but you are not allowed to hold them.
