For the Kid in All of Us : Minnesota Children's Museum

For more than 30 years, the Minnesota Children's Museum has been welcoming kids of all ages, and their caregivers, into their world of creative play and interactive learning environments.

For a nominal fee, this is the ultimate place to take your child of almost any age to wear them out and have them learn all at the same time! Learning and having fun are the key elements at this hands on museum where kids explore their world by climbing, touching, splashing, pulling and pressing exhibits and displays.

In relation to local library systems, the St Paul Public Libraries offer a 'Passport to Play' program, which is a well established collaboration between SPPL and MCM.

Even if you only have an hour or two to spare, this is a worth while stop to get ideas towards engaging play areas for children's libraries and learning centers.
