Grab your carrier because these galleries have fluffed their welcome mats for new moms and pops. Nobody will bat an eye when your babe starts crying here. Some spaces even have top-notch amenities like baby bottle warmers, complimentary strollers and private nursing rooms! Flip through our album below for the top museums around the country that make going out with a baby a lot more fun.

Art Institute Chicago – Chicago, Illinois

These once a month stroller tours are 30 minutes long, which is just right for tiny maestros who run a hard schedule on mom. The Art Institute Chicago offers the tours at 11:30 a.m. for parents to take a leisurely walk through halls of impressionist and modern art. By noon, those push-pops will either be fast asleep or extremely content. Definitely long enough for parents to stop by the museum café for an edible pick me up.
