Minnesota Children's Museum

Did you know? In just a few hours exploring the museum , your kids are developing important large & fine motor skills, logical & mathematical thinking, cooperation and communication, and so much more! Read more

The kids loved this place. Be forewarned parents - this place quickly becomes packed with kids and gets very loud . Be sure to go on a day when you have extra patience to tolerate such an event .

Pack a lunch or buy a sandwich at the gift shop if you go on a Sunday; the sushi restaurant across the street is closed on Sundays. Avoid going on FREE Target 3rd Sundays if you don't like big crowds.

Tuesdays are for families only- no school field trips & rooms filled @ capacity w/ big kids ;) My toddler loves room to explore & breathe. I avoid Free Sundays.

Great exhibits ! Even with children of different ages and interests, they still both had a blast. They were under construction , but had many options to keep us engaged and busy.

I also enjoyed the ant hills and the lake-themed room. The ant hills help teach children about animals well . They also had a place so everyone could take the time to see real amphibians.

Great way to spend the day! The Exhibits always keep the kids active , engaged, and stimulated. Bring coffee and snacks ;)

Ask about a reciporacal membership. Then you can use it across the state and the nation. Works with Duluth children's museum too.

Storyland, presented by Target...inspire a love of reading one cookie at a time! One of the best exhibits I've seen...and my kids love it!

If your child no longer naps, head over at lunch time. If they do nap, get there in the morning and leave at lunch time. Lunch is like a shift change!

Habitot is perfect for babies new to walking. Free Target Sunday was a bonus :)

Fun museum for younger kids, but you're going to want to use hand sanitizer on all exposed body surfaces after your visit (and I'm by no means a germophobe).

We had a blast! Absolutely wonderful. Very different than what it used to be, but wonderful

Leave your strollers in the car, especially if you're using the parking ramp and crossing the skyways.

Took my 5 year old niece and she loved it!!! Plenty of interactive things to do for hours of entertainment!

The rooftop terrace is incredibly fun for small ones and their dad.

Buy a membership! There is so much to see and do that one visit won't even scratch the surface.

Rainforest Adventure is the perfect exhibit for school age children...of course the little ones will enjoy! ;-) hurry in....only here for a LIMITED TIME.

Thanks to the generosity of Target Corp, visitors can roam the Museum free of charge, every third Sunday of each month. INFO: http://www.mcm.org

So much fun for all ages. Remember to park in the correct ramp for a discount on parking

Awesome time my kids love it one if the best kids museums we've been too.

My 2 year old Loved everything! And he could do just about everything the museum offers. Highly recommend a visit for those with small children.

New lockers in the lobby as of January 2019. Bring four quarters to use them!

Kids aged six months to 10 years can crawl, splash, touch and play their way through this fun museum .

Let your budding scientist learn the properties of water while racing boats or test her physics skills by building a fairytale castle made of Legos.

It's dead in the afternoon during most kids' naptimes.

This place is AWESOME!!! Come here early, so you have plenty of playtime..

Realized today that the changing table we were using had a mirror directly above it. My daughter loved it!

Make sure you go to All Levels! It is so much #Fun !! :7)

Fun and entertaining for all ages!

Awesome place for children.. Safe and various

The water room is fun for kids to play

Exhibits , kid activities , kid play, learning

Leave your Winter coats in the car or use the coat check ! It's hot in here!

If you can swing it, come during the day on Tuesday when there are no groups/fieldtrips. It is far less crowded .

Love it. Lots of things for kids and their parents to do. :)

Everything!

The parking is super easy and go to Candyland as a reward after

Awesome stop! Be sure to give yourself enough time!

50cents for a locker is SO worth it!

This place rocks. Be sure you have several hours. And your kids will get wet.

Go early, and go to the Water Works room at the end of your visit.

Great way to spend the day with the kids

Third Sunday of the month is free and open to public courtesy of Target!

Security here are always so pleasant and helpful. Very nice to my son and me.

There is no rooftop bar .

There sure seems to be a lot of helicopter parents here. Can't you people stay more than 1 foot away from your kids?!?!?!
