About the Museum

For more than 25 years, Minnesota Children's Museum has provided learning-infused play experiences for over six million visitors. Through its exhibits and programs, the Museum helps children discover themselves and the world around them through experimentation, creative self-expression, investigation and role-playing.

Although the Museum's innovative traveling exhibits and signature daily programs are well-known throughout the community, the mission of the Museum extends far beyond downtown St. Paul. As the leading traveling exhibit developer for children's museums nationwide, the Museums sparks learning in young children across the continent.

The Museum is also known for innovative programs and partnerships. In 2008, the Association of Children's Museums (ACM) recognized the Museum's Accessible Play Initiative, a unique community partnership that joins the Museum and organizations that directly serve children and families with disabilities in the Twin Cities metro area.
