Mission: Sparking children’s learning through play.

Minnesota Children's Museum is dedicated to providing children with a fun, hands-on and stimulating environment to explore and discover. The Museum helps to instill a life-long love of learning by nurturing the real-world skills children need to become engaged citizens in the future.

The Museum, in operation since 1981, embraces these core concepts:
 - Early learning is the foundation for lifelong learning.
 - Families are our children’s first teachers.
 - All children deserve a time and place to be children.
 - Diverse perspectives enrich children’s lives.
 - Play is learning.
