What are healthy snacks to take to an amusement park?

Portable foods such as nuts and fruit make great snacks for both children and parents. If the park you're visiting doesn't allow you to bring in food from outside you can still snack right. Many amusement parks now stock nutritious nibbles such as fresh fruit cups, yogurt, and even carrot and celery sticks.

Do eat a small, healthy meal a couple of hours before riding. But don't overeat, and avoid coffee, tea and fruit juices, which increase stomach acidity. Based on the research and medical-professional recommendations, eating a light meal before riding a roller coaster is not a bad idea.

Amusement Park Outfit Idea #1: Jeans are always my go-to, so this is a no brainer for me. I've worn jeans at almost every amusement park we've ever been to! But choose ones that are comfortable and won't sag throughout the day when you're hot and sweaty. If it's super hot, shorts are a great alternative.

Start by Choosing the Right Amusement Day Snacks Spicy, salty, and otherwise strongly flavored foods should be huge no-nos. Both before you enter an amusement park and while you are enjoying the attractions there. Instead, choose bland foods and be sure to eat a meal before you arrive so that it has had time to settle.

Four hours is the time, I've found, that a family can spend together in a theme park before fatigue (physical or emotional) sets in. At the four-hour mark, it's time to get out, go someplace else, and either call it a day, or chill for at least six hours before returning to the park.

In your pocket or stored in your bag will almost always be the safest place for you to store your wallet, phone, keys, and other small things.

The key for any amusement park outfit is COMFORT and LAYERING. The parks open early, so you'll want something warmer in the morning (unless you're going in the dead of summer), easy layers you can shed in the afternoon as it warms up, and layers you can add back on as it cools down at night.

Wear a fanny pack or use a VERY secure pocket that zips closed. The coasters are intense. A cross body bag would make it very difficult to secure the harnesses on the rides. Plus it would likely fly up and smack you in the face.

Do not eat a full meal or drink a sugary beverage minutes before hopping on a ride! On the flip side, you don't want to get on a big roller coaster with an empty stomach as that may make you feel even worse. Snack on something fairly bland about 30 minutes to an hour before hopping in line.
