I realize this will sound like an out-moded, old-fashioned suggestion, but in order to receive a verifiably correct and official answer you might consider calling the museum! It won't take any more time than posting questions that are being answered by unofficial sources

Can I take in a stroller with me or will it be difficult to get around?

troulius begaye | Oct 13, 2018
Neyda Reed | Oct 13, 2018

I'm sure you can but it will be difficult to get around. I suggest a sling or a carrier if you have an infant. If you have a toddler, he/she will NOT want to stay in the stroller!
