Baby Bags
- You can bring bags for baby needs with you to the Museum. Don’t forget, these bags are still subject to inspection.

Strollers are allowed in the Museum; however please note the following exceptions:
- Strollers are allowed everywhere except the CIBC Discovery Gallery where you will find designated stroller parking outside of the area.
- Please leave backpack style child carriers, wagons, or other pull vehicles at home. They pose safety risks to visitors and to objects on display.
- On very busy days, oversized strollers may not be allowed. They can pose a risk to other visitors.
