good question. when we used to travel with our five small kids, we always needed to know that answer. Now that they're bigger, not so important. I didn't experience it directly at our visit, so I poked around the website some. The only place I got what seems like useful info is on the special events/birthday parties page, where they say you can bring in anything you want to eat, but no outside vendors or caterers. I would guess that would also apply to brining in food during your day visit, but I can't be positive. Sorry.
Would two adults enjoy a visit here or is this more focused on children?

If you enjoy science, I think you would LOVE Discovery World. I actually want to take my husband there without our daughter so we can enjoy it together and really read and experience the exhibits as long as we'd like to without our 8 year old pulling us to another area before we're ready!
I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old.. would they enjoy it if we drove up there? We get in free with our science and industry membership. Thanks!

Actually, if you are in that area of Milwaukee, the Betty Brinn Museum might be a better choice for a 2 & 5 year old. I'd save Discovery World until they're a few years older.
