This museum is great for kids of all ages. They have so many engaging exhibits and a lot of hands on exhibits. They also have a variety of educational shows that demonstrate science in action, and they make it fun for people of all ages.
I wasn't sure what to expect and I am blown away. This place is great and I am so happy we visit.

It did not disappoint. Lots of cool and fun things to.see. The.kod had a blast. Every exhibit and floor has something new. THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE PARKING RAMP SUCKS. ITS VERY NARROW . And larger vehicles cannot park there. Riverside Ramp on top.level is where you should park. Pr find a place on the street. Once you get in however it's great.i had not been to the new location yet..I remember the old location as a kid..where they had the triceratops and mummy..I was always afraid to go into the room..but always did lol. This place is awesome. Just fix the parking please. Lol

We are members and visit often but unfortunately every visit as of late has been utterly disappointing. We will NOT be renewing membership or visiting when this membership expires. There are many agendas being very obviously pushed throughout the exhibits, Omni shows, employees, etc. that goes far beyond what is actually considered science. There are serious biases behind the exhibits and shows, and it’s clear as day.
The building is also not secure in any way and frankly I don’t feel safe there any more. At one of our visits I was approached in the lobby by a man asking for money. This man approached several people, all asking them aggressively for money. The staff clearly saw this and did nothing about it, just let the man continue to walk around the building, harassing their patrons.
That, and almost every time we go - which has been fairly often, with a membership - the building is overrun with school or camp field trips. We have tried going different days and times but without fail every time we’ve decided to visit the museum this year, we are forced to share with multiple field trip groups. The groups are always, without fail, poorly managed and unsupervised, leading to exhibits being damaged, no room or space to move around, etc. They need to seriously manage the amount of groups they allow in at a given time or day- the amount allowed in now is just outrageous and leads to my family being unable to even use or experience the majority of the exhibits. It’s unbearable, and insulting as members of this museum to be treated so poorly by random school groups, and their chaperones. This museum is no longer of interest to my family for these reasons. Good riddance.

Such a great place for kids to learn and experience hands-on. We loved the human anatomy section most of all and the science with using and understanding the periodic table and electricity. Omni theater was packed. We were here early and luckily got seats; however, we noticed some were needing standing because they couldn’t find seats.
I would definitely buy your tickets in advance. They may be a long wait for the Omni theater.

The Minnesota Science Museum offers a rich, hands-on experience that caters to visitors of all ages. From fascinating exhibits on dinosaurs and the human body to interactive displays on physics and technology, the museum provides an engaging educational journey. The Omnitheater is a highlight, showcasing stunning films on a massive domed screen. Friendly staff, well-curated exhibits, and a scenic location along the Mississippi River make it a must-visit.

They should change the name to the Minnesota museum of equity. When I was growing up it was only science. What it is now is just sad.

My family loves coming to the Science Museum of Minnesota! There are so many fun exhibits that are great to see over and over again! There are 3 floors with various exhibits, including dinosaurs, the human body, nature, sports, music, light, weather, and so many more! We also love catching the latest movie/documentary at the onmitheater! The omnitheater is a great movie experience! The curved screen and surround sound make for a great experience! I definitely recommend a visit here if you are in the area!

Way to espensa. It's not even worth it to pay $80 for 3 people.

Their exhibits on questionable cures throughout history were cremé de la crème. That means “cream of the cream” in a different language.
This is a great location for children. Plenty of hands-on exhibits for the little ones and lots of plaques for the adults. Best exhibits were
1. The tornado simulator
2. The Tug Boat
3. The collection of old timey “scientific” devices. One such device claimed to cure bad breath just by looking at blue light! Who knew!
There are also elevators everywhere and plenty of space between exhibits! Great for navigation.

I always love going here as an adult and bringing kids. We have come several times for the rotating displays and just to wander through the permanent exhibits. The Indigenous exhibit, Race exhibit, and dinos are always good to go through. Something for everyone of every age. It does get pretty busy during certain times with a lot of younger kiddos but that's to be expected. Make sure you try out the Omnitheater too depending on what is showing. The gift shop is always a must too but make sure you give yourself time as there is a lot to look at in there too! Make sure to stop for coffee, a snack, or a smoothie at their little shop on the way out. Definitely a must!

I stand next to exhibits and wait until my wife takes a photo. Good fun :)
