The Science Museum of Minnesota, located on the riverfront in downtown St. Paul, is a fabulous place to go with friend or with family. There are a number of exhibits, all of which will appeal to children, such as their current "Animal Grossology" exhibit, which explains many gross animal characteristics in detail.
Despite many obviously child-oriented exhibits, which can become tedious to older audiences, the Science Museum is still extremely entertaining, mainly because of its many classic exhibits on ancient peoples and extinct animals. There is also an IMAX theater, which has shows several times a day.
