A Message from Our President

We will get through this together. We will rely on the skills that all of us, including our own children, learn through play: Empathy, grit and creativity.

Even with the museum closing again due to the pandemic, we’re here to support you as best we can. We will provide resources for parents to help keep their kids playing, learning and growing.

We ask for your support. The pandemic has put us in a dire financial situation. We are a nonprofit organization that relies on ticket sales, memberships and other sources to provide the experiences and programs that Minnesotans know and love.

You can play a part in keeping the museum as strong as possible. If you’re able, please help us continue sparking children’s learning through play for many more years to come.
