Strollers are allowed — you just hold them.

Yes, strollers are allowed on the Maid of the Mist boats, but there’s no dedicated storage area. You’ll need to hold onto it or fold it up and keep it with you.

The boats are crowded and wet. You’re standing the whole ride, and there’s no indoor space to stash a stroller. If your kid can walk, consider leaving the stroller on shore. If you must bring it, expect to hold it (and your kid) the whole time. A baby carrier is a smarter move.

Final thought: The poncho does not cover the stroller.
