Can we eat lunch at MOXI?
Unfortunately, we do not allow food or beverages into MOXI and we do not have an area within the museum for field trips to eat lunch. Most of our field trips or groups that bring lunches, eat at the grassy area right next to MOXI or walk down to the grass area or sitting wall at the beach. If you are planning to bring lunches, please leave them on the bus as we do not have refrigeration.
