Hi Heather, We recommended using Kiosk Pro for iPads in a museum gallery, but the museum was concerned that kids would manage the two-finger swipe that's required to get to the admin page. We ended up using wKiosk, http://www.adnx.com/software/wkiosk4mac.html, which satisfied their security concerns. Both work well with wifi enabled galleries so the app can be hosted on a server locally or in the cloud I believe.
Bruce Wyman at Second Story also has a hack to put the iPad in kiosk mode w/out any additional software, if you want to contact him. He shared it at MCN2011.
