Positives:

  • Baby-friendly facilities: Diaper-changing tables in every washroom and nursing welcome throughout the museum

Challenges:

  • Gravel paths outdoors: Discovery Park and some picnic spots use gravel that can be bumpy for strollers
  • Peak school-group times: Barns get busy between 10 am–12 pm, which can limit close-up views and photos
