Poll: Eating at the Zoo

[evilmonkey239]

Does any zoo have a McDonald's? I know there's the Starbucks at Saint Louis, and an Erbert and Gerbert's at Minnesota, and I know there's a Chick-fil-A somewhere (Atlanta?).

A few other US with zoos with what could be considered probably high-end dining (as well as more fast-food options) would be ASDM, Shedd, DAK (as well as The Seas at Epcot and the DAK Lodge), the SeaWorld parks, and Grant's Farm. DAK probably has the widest variety of food options at any zoo, ever.

As of 2021 at least, there was a McDonald’s (plus a Pizza Hut) at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

ZooTampa had one in the past, but now it is their own restaurant. To be honest it is way better than McD was before.

I only eat at the zoo if I am there through lunch. If not, then I will find another establishment to eat at. Thank you for asking.

Food isn't great at Omaha but you get to sit there and watch over all of the jungle

The food itself was fine (although substantially more expensive for similar orders at St Louis and Indianapolis) and the view and seating area were amazing it was just the ordering/payment process that could use a rework to make it less cumbersome for higher densities.That would make the ~18.6 USD I paid for some chicken strips, fries, and soda more reasonable compared to the ~11.5 USD I paid at St Louis and Indianapolis for similar orders that didn't have the great view (which should carry a premium) but also had more pleasant ordering experiences.

It is definitely a minuscule problem in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah Omaha has had major issues with their food service since Covid and they haven’t recovered. Most of the concessions are closed and most don’t offer their original full menu either. They are struggling to find staff, so much so that they have recently overhauled most of the ordering to kiosks at the windows and then you pick it up when ready. Pre-Covid there were some awesome places to get unique food, but sadly they haven’t yet returned to those days.
