At Minnesota Children's Museum, kids will have a blast discovering new and exciting concepts through fun, learning-focused play. Each of our seven galleries is uniquely designed to provide a hands-on, stimulating environment for children ages six months to 10 years old. In every gallery and exhibit, kids will encounter an exciting, immersive world that arouses their curiosity, increases their understanding, and ignites an appreciation for learning.

It's no wonder Minnesota Children's Museum is consistently recognized by local and national media as one of the Top 10 family destinations in Minnesota. In addition to our permanent galleries and traveling exhibits, our roving "funstigators" engage kids in fun and interactive smart play as they blow bubbles, toss balls, play with finger puppets, and provide a variety of stimulating play experiences for children of all ages.

The Museum provides a fun-focused informal environment that works alongside education, families and communities to give kids the necessary jumpstart they need to pursue a lifelong love of learning.
