Educators, Groups, and Parents

Educators and groups are important to Minnesota Children's Museum. We are a learning-driven institution that offers a variety of services and resources for area schools and organizations. The Museum also welcomes non-school groups such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, summer camps and community education classes. Download the 2009-2010 Educator Resource Guide.

Self-Guided Visits

Reserve a visit that allows your group to explore the Museum at its own pace. Your students will learn and discover as they interact with curriculum-supporting, hands-on exhibits.

Museum To-Go Classes

Bring the Museum experience right to your school! A Museum educator will visit your classroom and facilitate a 50-minute hands-on class at your site. Museum-to-Go classes support state standards.

Professional Development

Discover new ideas! Find inspiration and develop practical skills to apply in your classroom. You’ll also earn clock hours towards CEU credits.

Discovery Trunks and Other Programs

Create a Minnesota Children’s Museum experience in your own classroom with our Discovery Trunks. Build school community and involve your students’ families in their education with a Family Night or Invention Showcase at the Museum. We also offer programs for homeschool groups, adolescent parents, as well as high school child development classes.

Supporting Parents in Public

Minnesota Children's Museum is a partner in the Wakanheza Project: a community-based initiative focused on reducing tensions and stressful situations for families. St. Paul Ramsey County Department of Public Health founded the project, which assists individuals and organizations to be more open and receptive to the needs of families, and transform into more welcoming environments.
