Explore Our Exhibits
Our exhibits spark children’s learning through play.
The experiences are open-ended, allowing children to explore, create and pursue their own interests.
Children build their brains and bodies during a visit to Minnesota Children’s Museum.
Wallace & Gromit™ and Shaun the Sheep™: Shear Genius!
Now Open Through Aug. 28
Step into the worlds of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep in this all-new exhibit making its world premiere at Minnesota Children’s Museum this summer.
