Going with kids? Although the Met potrays itself as being so very child-friendly, I personally haven’t found it so. Strollers are forbidden from some (but not all) exhibit halls. The last timewe were there, we were scolded by a security guard when my 3 year old daughter was sitting on my husband’s shoulders when she got tired. (Why? We have no idea.)

Don’t get wrong, I’ll still be back again and again with my kid; I just find their “yay, kids!” posturing to be pretty much crap.
