I think you should check weather apps to find out when the sunset will be. There is plenty of open space and windows to enjoy the view, but some parts of the attraction don’t have windows, so you might want to arrive a little earlier than the scheduled sunset time. I’ve seen 2-3 strollers, but it’s best to check their website or call to confirm whether strollers are allowed.
