A:
Thank you for your question! Yes, you can bring the stroller into the Museums and the Planetarium. However, please be aware that the stroller cannot go inside the theater with you if you choose to see a planetarium show. Fire safety laws prohibit it. Unfortunately, the stroller cannot be taken on a tour of the Mansion either, as there are several flights of stairs the tour must climb and descend. We do not recommend the Mansion tour for young children. However, you are free to bring the stroller with you into all of the other museums, including the Memorial Wing, the Marine Museum, the Nursery Wing, and the Habitat and Stoll Wing. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us by phone or email.
