Grand Family Ball

This year's Grand Family Ball was a great success! We joined Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and other favorite The Wizard of Oz™ characters for a one-of-a-kind, magical family event to help open the Museum's doors to all children.

The Grand Family Ball was a one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive family event celebrating the inter-connectedness of generations. Held in conjunction with the Midwest premier of a new child-focused The Wizard of Oz exhibit, the evening was a grand occasion that transformed the Museum into the Land of Oz.

All proceeds will support the Museum's Access program, which brings more than 120,000 children and families to the Museum every year. Together we can make it possible for ALL kids to learn through play, regardless of ability to pay.

Donor Thank You Party

The donor thank you party is an exclusive, after-hours event just for our donors. Corporate sponsors and individuals who donate $150 or more are invited, along with their families, to enjoy a night of Museum gallery tours, special activities and a tasty buffet dinner. It's our way of saying "thank you" to all of our donors who help the Museum accomplish its goal of providing a unique educational experience for Minnesota's children.
