Beth asked/said: "I would be curious to know if other museums have no stroller policies and why."
Our largest museum (we're a system, but don't get me started on that) includes 30 structures on 5.5 acres. We welcome strollers on the grounds but don't allow them into those buildings which house un-encased historical furnishings because there simply isn't enough space to maneuver with safety (of the artifacts). We do allow wheel chairs.
I must agree with David on this one - except in special instances, strollers are a convenience not a necessity.
