The Minnesota History Center

Museums are a great place to visit when it’s cold. If you have a group of people of varying ages and interest the Minnesota History Center is the place to go. My sister and I took my 2 children there last weekend and a great time was had by all.

My 3 year old’s favorites:

  • Going in the rocket ship
  • Climbing through the grain elevator
  • Building a model log cabin

My favorites:

  • Getting some time with my son while my sis carried my daughter around
  • Reading/learning about life in Minnesota 50, 100, 200 years ago
  • Taking the MN 150 quiz

Tips:

  • You can get 2 free passes from the library
  • There IS a children’s menu at the café, you just have to ask
  • Block off the whole day, there’s plenty to explore
