Food and Drinks at Dreamworld

Food and drink are not cheap, for drinks, think at least $4 and up, for a combo meal, think $14 and up.  On the upside, the coffee/food offerings are of a pretty high standard for theme park fare. While food and drink are not allowed to be brought into the park you can get a “pass out” and eat on the grassed area near the entrance or by the Marketplace, although that’ll probably waste a lot of time and energy. You can also order pre-order food online for pick up at Food Central or Kenny’s Fried Chicken, which saves a bunch of time, see here

The main food stations in Dreamworld:

• Food Central
• Kenny’s Fried Chicken
• Green Bean Coffee Company
• The Sandwich Shop
• Barrels Burger Bar

Moonlight Nightmarket
