Tips for Visiting the Museum with Kids
Babies and toddlers. Changing stations are located in all of the restrooms in the West Building (Freer Gallery of Art), and in the East Building (Arthur M. Sackler Gallery) on level S2. Strollers and front-worn baby carriers are permitted in the galleries.
Take breaks. Sit on a bench or on the floor while you look at art. Enjoy the fresh air in the Freer’s central courtyard.
