Minnesota Children's Museum Description
The Minnesota Children's Museum, with its "playing is learning" mantra, gives little kids an opportunity to play in a "world" that's built to their scale. From hands-on activities that teach kids about nature, science, and math to a special area just for babies and toddlers to explore (the popular "Habitot"), the museum is sure to delight kids under 10.

Kid Tips
Babies: Don't miss Habitot, a discovery area where babies can crawl or scoot around four regional habitats.
Toddlers & Pre-K: Make a beeline for Earth World, where your child can dress up like a beaver, crawl through a giant anthill, and learn about Minnesota animals and habitats.
School-Age Kids: Kids this age love racing boats down "rivers" and sending ping-pong balls down plastic chutes in the Water Works area in the World Works exhibit. Even big kids -- i.e., dads -- can spend hours playing here.
Planning Notes
- Don't bring the stroller. The museum is stroller-friendly, but if you donât anticipate your child needing a nap, you can just let him totter from exhibit to exhibit instead -- and this way, heâll burn off some extra energy.
