The Minnesota Children's Museum is a five-story indoor playground featuring dozens of activities and hands-on exhibits that allow kids to learn through play. Climbing a tree fort, crawling through a giant anthill, creating music and operating a crane are among the many adventures kids can experience. There is an area designed especially for infants and toddlers. Everything is fun and colorful, and a great place for kids to engage in creative expression. The building is large and spacious, allowing room to accommodate strollers and wheelchairs. A snack area is available, as well as a large parking ramp.

This is a wonderful place to bring your kids. I have been bringing my little one since he was 6 mos old. We have a membership and we go so often it more than pays for itself. There is a special area for small children (infants thru 2 yrs I think) called habitot. You can just watch the cogs turning as they learn, and it is so fun to interact with them in new ways. As they get older they play with other kids and you can interact or sit on a bench and supervise.

Kids love it. The facility is good for all ages. It includes activities surrounding arts, music, physics, nature, and more. Multi-level parking is available for free of charge with the facility's stamp. Allow at least 2 to 3 hours for a visit as there is just so much to see and do you will not want to leave!! And it seems like everytime that we go there they have something new!!

It is a good place to take younger kids up to about 9 or 10. The exhibits change regularly so it's never boring. It's great for winter days. And there are many ways to get discount tickets. Child care providers get free tickets. I don't think it is that expensive even with out. The only bad thing is that it is downtown St Paul. But other than that it's great.

First of all, Dakota County Libraries and St Paul public libraries offer FREE PASSES to the Children's museum! They are passes good for 6 people that you CHECK OUT. (Anyone can get a library card). They have a limited number available, so call and if they have one, they will hold it for 2 hours for you. Best day is Monday or Tuesday to check and they are good for 7 days! You turn it in at the museum and they mail it back to the library! Now about the Children's museum! Aside from the cost (which now you don't have to worry about), it is a fabulous place to visit! They have tons of activities for the kids! They offer story times, activities, and they change their main areas periodically. There is a section on the top level that is mostly a play area for smaller children. You can easily spend several hours there without the kids getting bored! There are so many activities for them to do. It is good for kids of all ages. The only drawback is the location (downtown St Paul). They have a parking ramp, and museum guests can park for $1.00 for like 3 hours. (Make sure it hasn't changed before going). If you can get the free passes, it is definitely worth going! They also have a free family day once Sunday per month where admission is free. It gets pretty crowded, but hey, its free!

“A VERY fun hands-on place to play and learn”   Jennifer S.

We own a family membership to this children's museum, but there are free Sundays once a month. The only reason we prefer the membership is because it can get REALLY busy on those free Sundays. ... More >

We own a family membership to this children's museum, but there are free Sundays once a month. The only reason we prefer the membership is because it can get REALLY busy on those free Sundays. This is a very fun place for kids up to around ages 6-7 (although older kids could enjoy themselves for a little while if they are there with younger siblings). There are all kinds of activities and fun hands-on displays that change every so often. There is even a little room for toddlers to play in called Habitot. A definite must place to go for families with kids.

The Children's Museum is a great place for kids of all ages, but seems best suited for those between ages 3 and 9. They do have one free day per month, but it is very crowded on those days. The admission fee is well worth having a bit more space in which to explore and play. High commendations to the staff. They are alert, and attuned to the children that are there. Recently, I watched a child who couldn't find her mom, and the child started to cry. I noticed that a conscientous staff member followed her until she was reunited with her mom. The wide range of exhibits keep children entertained for hours! Our favorite is Earth World, where one can crawl through ant hills, and hide in a wolf's den, make thunderstorms, and investigate a swamp. I would recommend wearing jeans or pants, however, to avoid rugburned knees in the ant hill...

Our kids LOVE the Children's museum and we do too. It keeps them busy for hours! It is always very clean and well staffed. The exhibits change often which keep the kids entertained. We love that there is so much hands on to help them learn. The annual membership is a great way to go. They even offer a certain day of the month that is free if the cost is too much for people.
