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.
