@MadameLee - Ah yes! Lunch at places like that (zoo, amusement park, etc) is VERY expensive. Your dad has that right. Bringing lunch is okay but it's not the cool thing to do if everyone else is buying lunch there. Plus, you have to worry about carrying it around with you and to not bring something that'll spoil.
My daughter went to Great America (a spin-off of Six Flags) for her 8th grade class trip and couldn't believe how expensive food was there. We gave her plenty of money to take but she said she had a hard time justifying paying so much for a burger and fries.
Anyway, it's totally nuts how expensive things are at places like that.
Makes me think of the Museum trip I took in February. Back then I was during another program on Thursdays. For weeks before the trip on Mondays the group leaders had been saying that "something will be done about lunch" but the day of the trip (a Monday) I show up and they said "You will have to buy a lunch or bring your own" and one of them claimed they had said that from the beginning (and with my memory I would know) I ended up buying a lunch at the museum's cafeteria. But when I talked to other people they said that they only told them that on either Wednesday or Thursdays (days I wasn't there).
