Playing works up an appetite, but don’t worry about cutting the day short and running home at mealtime! Our Food Court offers something for even the pickiest eaters.

If you are looking for a quick snack, don’t forget Louie’s Sweet Shoppe, which offers kid-friendly, healthy options like cheese sticks, applesauce, and yogurt along with delicious treats.
Or you can choose to step back in time and grab a burger at Bill Gray’s Restaurant in the vintage Skyliner Diner.
Take the fun home with you after a visit to Strong!

And don’t forget about our wide range of exciting books and museum souvenirs!
