What makes it 36% Baby-Friendly: Strollers for infants are allowed but lifts are tiny, no changing tables or nursing room, and mandatory cloakroom delays, so parents can visit but should expect logistical stress.
Note: Borghese Gallery and Museum is 36% Baby-Friendly. You may want to consider other Baby-Friendly Things to Do in Rome for a more suitable experience.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Timed entry is two hours; extra time allows a quick garden stroll
Admire the ancient mosaic foyer:
See 4th-century gladiator scenes under the grand entrance
Tip: Bring your stroller here first to let your baby enjoy the colors
View Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne:
Marvel at the marble details in Hall 1
Tip: Stand back to catch the flowing drapery details while baby faces outward in the stroller
Explore Caravaggio paintings:
Find Boy with a Basket of Fruit and David with the Head of Goliath in Hall 8
Tip: Use the lift to reach the second floor if your stroller fits the small cabin
Use the cloakroom service:
Leave large bags for free before you enter
Tip: Carry only a small purse inside to move easily through the halls
Stroll Villa Borghese Gardens:
Enjoy stroller-friendly paths around the gallery
Tip: Plan this before or after your visit to let baby stretch outdoors
Visit in spring or autumn when gardens are in bloom. In summer, choose an early-morning slot to avoid heat. In winter, galleries stay warm and less crowded.

The museum was so beautiful and felt intimate since they limit the amount of people inside. Very quiet and you can find some rooms all to yourself letting you get up close to the artwork.

Really great art museum! If you love art, I'd definitely see. One of my favorite museums. While I don't love art, I do enjoy a good museum and I was impressed with this one. Nice gardens to walk around before or after. Busses right at entrances and going through park.

Excellent museum located in gorgeous park. Museum is perfect scale. 6-8 rooms on each of 2 floors. Perfect amount to take in. Iconic paintings - including a group of Caravaggio’s - and sculptures - including many by Bernini. Great place. Highly recommend.
