Parent tips

  • Pack socks — some indoor play zones require them.
  • Plan a nap window; malls are easier for quiet breaks than standalone museums.
  • Toddlers tire quickly in crowds — weekdays are calmer.

Stroller-friendly main halls are common in museums and malls. On subways, stand near doors and avoid 8–9 AM and 6–7 PM.

What to check before visiting

  • • Age or height limits on exhibits
