6 reviews for Minnesota Children's Museum
Every year I go back to Minnesota, this is a stop we always make. My son has been visiting the Children's Museum and always remembers the fun activities (especially putting on the mail person's uniform and delivering mail). Although everyone pays to get in (unless you are under 1 years of age or over 100 years of age) it is well worth it.
I usually bring my knitting or a book and in each exhibit there are places to sit.
This last visit we really enjoyed the roof exhibit with the sand and water play. The hands-on learning is great.
Block-building, conveyer-belt moving, bubbles, water-flow exhibit, art and drawing, recycled paper-making, anthill, forest play, outside roof play, and much much more...
This is such a fun place to go, especially for toddlers and young kids. I've been here for hours with little one's and they have such a blast. If you truly want to enjoy it, I would recommend that you pass on the free only because and can get too packed especially with older kids that aren't paying attention to the young ones. Only complaint is that it can be a bit pricey.
OMG - this is a great museum for toddlers, kids and adults and is a must see if you're visiting or a native.
There's a "tiny town" of sorts where kids can deliver mail, work the kitchen at a korean resto, faux grocery shop and more! My daughter is partial to water play and really enjoyed the water room - playing with bubbles and watching the water push ping pong balls through tubes.
Special for toddlers on the top floor is a great play area for babies and toddlers to run, crawl, and jump around. This area, by far, was my toddler's fave.
If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back for a visit!
This place is amazing! My sister has a membership so she and her 2 kids were free. Since we went with her, we got a discount of $2 per ticket. Park at the designated structure across the way and it's just $3 for 3 hours--make sure to get the validation ticket when you purchase your entrance ticket to the museum.
Once inside, you have 5 levels! The baby/toddler area is awesome. Pretty safe for crawlers and those just starting to walk (wobbly). The activities are interactive and hands on. So fun!
Not just for children. We remarked that this place would make for a pretty cool bachelor party. It's four or five stories tall, which I believe makes it one of the largest children's museum in the nation (so far, only Indianapolis is the only larger one I've seen). Excellent hands-on play and discovery, and great staff. There are cool things happening in every corner - face painting, crafty projects, all the stuff they never get to do at home with me.
It's in downtown St. Paul, surrounded by many restaurants and coffee shops - you'll have no trouble feasting after burning so many calories chasing those little buggers.
This is a fabulous Children's Museum and worth a trip if you are visiting the Twin Cities. Great, multi level museum situated on the bluffs of the Mississippi with an IMAX (or Omnidome?) theater. Have to pay a la carte for the movie - check showtimes. Look for a coupon. Parking in the building so make sure you do that on those freezing winter days!
