What makes it 56% Baby-Friendly: Babies are admitted and restrooms have change tables, and occasional 10-18 month sensory labs run, yet lifts and ramps are patchy and there is no staffed stroller rental or nursing room.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for a self-guided tour, a workshop and stroller breaks without rushing.

Stroll or let your baby nap in the stroller on the wide terrace with views of concrete sculptures.
Tip: Visit early to avoid crowds and use shaded spots for resting.

Tip: Take stroller breaks near lifts and ramps where space is wider.

The exterior, book store and cafe are free to visit. You only need tickets for seeing the exhibition spaces. Would suggest taking some time to walk around the building as well, since it’s just as (if not more) beautiful outside.

I particularly enjoyed the "Stadiums" exhibition, even though I'm not a football fan - it's an in-depth look at stadium architecture and the passion for football. The staff was very friendly. Worth it!
In warmer months, bring a sun hat and use the outdoor terrace for stroller time. In colder seasons, aim for mid-morning visits when galleries are sunlit and warmer.
