Due to COVID-19, our volunteer and internship programs have been temporarily suspended.

Not only are we strong advocates of play but we also believe spreading joy has equal value. There are a few ways we instill joy at our museum–first, by nurturing our curious learners. We believe giving children options and freedom to explore through guided-play encourages them to find pleasure in learning.
The museum’s exhibit designers focused on creating open-ended experiences that put kids in charge of their own experience. At the heart of the newly expanded Minnesota Children’s Museum are 10 new permanent exhibits.
