Peak meal windows get busy. Shift 30 minutes earlier or later.


Inside & Nearby

  • Snack breaks between Sharks and Sea Cliffs work well.
  • Boardwalk treats make a fun exit tradition.

Hydrate before outdoor zones; coastal sun and wind can sneak up on you.


Timing Tricks

  • Eat early (11:15) or late (13:45) to dodge lines.
  • Use show times to find shorter queues.

Family-Friendly Picks

  • Simple snacks, shareables, and a backup granola bar stash.
