That's a ton for any kind of museum/zoo/aquarium sort of thing.

I'll look into the DC aquarium though. Too bad the Supreme Court isn't open on Saturdays.

I misspoke- we did the American History, not the Natural History. That's a possibility.
Our son was 16 months old at the time we went and it was awful having to carry him around the aquarium. I've never been told that I couldn't take a stroller in a museum/aquarium/zoo before. It was too late to leave at that point, though. We'd already paid for admission and couldn't get our money back. The aquarium down here in Virginia Beach allows you to wheel your kids around every exhibit. I recall seeing strollers in the aquarium in Monterey, CA when we were there years ago, too. I don't know what they're thinking in Baltimore, but I personally think they need to have every staff member haul around a toddler for a few hours in a backpack just to see how ridiculous they're being about banning strollers.

The Udvar-Hazy Aeronautical Museum is worth the parking fee. Since it is part of the Smithsonian, there are no admission fees. It is very close to Dulles Int'l which is a good bit west of DC on the Fairfax/Loudon County line. Most of it is stroller-friendly (except the control tower).
