Alex covered most of your question just to add you can eat your own food in the cafe area or outside on the picnic tables. When we went they also had a marquee outside if raining where again you can have your picnic, Have a great visit.
There are two floors packed with activities for tots to 11/12 yr olds and a large cafe and shop. Also an outside area with large sand pit and eating/picnic area.
