Food
The park's main food location is the Croc Pot Cafeteria, which features a range of hot entrees, sandwiches, and salads. If you are looking for Mexican food, check out La Fiesta, which features tacos, burritos, and nachos. Other food options include pizza, Philly cheese steak, and panini sandwiches.

For the sweet tooth or a snack, you do not want to miss one of the park's trademarks in the Fried Bat--a mixture of fried dough and Oreo cookies! There is also the Potato Patch (same as Kennywood), which serves natural fresh cut fries.

Finally, if you are thirsty, be sure to take advantage of unlimited free soda beverages, which are available at the park every day, all day long! They're Pepsi products but, hey, they're free!
