What makes it 70% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free, strollers fit most galleries, and changing tables and a quiet room exist, but St. Roch has stairs and no infant-specific play so attention spans and mobility may be limited.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time to tour the galleries, board the St. Roch, and use baby facilities without rushing.
Climb aboard the St. Roch:
Walk the decks and peek into cabins of the 1928 Arctic patrol vessel.
Tip: Use a front baby carrier—strollers aren’t allowed on board and ladders are narrow.
Explore main gallery exhibits:
See ship models, navigation tools, and Arctic exploration artifacts in spacious halls.
Tip: Follow the ramped route with your stroller and pause in the low-sensory room if baby needs quiet.
Stroll Heritage Harbour docks:
Walk along the outdoor docks to see vintage wooden vessels up close.
Tip: Bring a rain or sun cover for the stroller; docks have no shelter.

Wonderful way to spend a rainy day. Brought a 3 year old here and he had a blast. Great children’s area with amazing costumes, the large RCMP boat was a hit and steering a boat so much fun. Had to pull him away but the pirate eye patch helped get him out the door!

The Maritime museum is a good place to visit, it doesn’t take long it’s small. You can tour the St Roch, an RCMP schooner. There are lots of interesting displays and a kids play area. There is accessible parking with a ramp behind the building that leads to an accessible automatic door. There are toilets available.

This is a great museum to explore and learn about Vancouver and general maritime history. There's an indoor playground, and some other interactive parts that make this a great museum to visit with children. It was fun to enter and explore a historical boat, and there was a lot of information to read and learn about the history. The interactive and guided knot making station was very interesting! O...

This would be my favourite museum out of the 3 in the that location. There was a lot more to see than I expected. Going onboard the St. Roch boat was really cool. If you like scale model boats you’ll be in heaven. They are incredible. Lots of things to interact with. Plenty of history to read. Absolutely loved it.
Vancouver is often rainy—bring a stroller rain cover. In summer, plan extra shade for the outdoor docks; in winter, dress baby warmly for brief outdoor strolls.
