About the Museum
For more than 30 years, Minnesota Children's Museum has embedded the research on play, creativity and child development into its interactive learning environments and programs. Open-ended experiences are designed for children to explore, discover, immerse, imagine and connect.
Strategic Plan
The Museum's newly adopted strategic plan (2011-2015) addresses the need of reaching more of Minnesota's children to nurture creativity and school readiness while activating their parents, educators and caregivers in embracing the essential role of play in learning.
