Yes. The cafeteria has a daily variety of freshly made items for a light meal or snack. The prices are reasonable, the seating vast, clean, and lit by floor to ceiling windows. It is the middle building which houses the VERY nice gift shop. To the left is the freet pet motel where pets can stay freely while owners tour and to the right is the main building where one purchases tickets. Recommend this site HIGHLY!!!
