We visited during the exhibit of the Civil War and the US Dakota wars. This was information that I feel was important for my granddaughter to experience. At the age of 11 she found the information important and something she could see share with her schoolmates. The Now and Then exhibits were excellent and we spent the better part of...

The standing exhibits are always fun to see and there are some wonderful areas for kids to play and move around. We enjoy seeing the traveling exhibits. Most recently we viewed the Dakota conflict exhibit. Always great detail and wonderful story boards

A gorgeous building with amazing interactive exhibits. Kids had fun. Variety of topics, history, science, weather, agriculture, wars, MN history - we had a good time. Kids are 7,8,13 and 15 and they all enjoyed it. Hit it on Tuesday's when it is free!!!

We went there with adult friends and had a very good and interesting time. Then we decided to take our granddaughters and they had a blast. So did we. Both times.

This is by far my favorite place to go in MN. We go here on average 5 times a year, sometimes more. The exhibits are the best- there is a lot of hands on activities for the kids. There is usually 4-5 exhibits going at once. There is a restaurant inside as well that serves awesome food- they are also...
