We took an umbrella stroller and it was fine. There are places where you can park it and leave it w/out any worries but just a warning it does get crowded when you're down in the aquarium area.
Have fun and if you can get there early enough, you can find parking around the park instead of paying.
I wouldn't take a stroller. We went with our niece on a weekday and it was still busy as heck. She was in an umbrella stroller and people kept kicking it and almost tipped her over as they were walking by. It's insane.
I just went last week and it was insane. I ended up carrying DS around in the Ergo the whole time. Actually I think the whole trip was not that enjoyable since it was so crowded. There were lines for everything - pretty hard to do with a baby.
