Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota

It’s a great value if you get the membership, and there’s definitely plenty to do on visit multiple times a year. They do change out the exhibits here and there. Our 1-year-old absolutely loves this place! There’s so much to do for little ones and plenty of fun for older kids too, probably up to around 10 years old. They have great STEM,  construction, and agriculture themed activities,. The climbing tree fort is awesome. The butterfly exhibit is interactive and getting to see a butterfly release was a special touch. There’s even a little “Water Works” play area outside that the kids couldn’t get enough of. I'd plan 2 to 6 hours each visit.

We bought a membership after visiting here a few times. The kids have such a good time here when they come to visit. It is not only fun for the kids, but it is also very informative and interactive for them as well. They really love the treehouse and also the quarry. I really like the tractor simulator.

While the kids were playing doctor, I found out my daughter would have two days to live if she didn’t have her surgery right now. Ten feet away another child was scooping what looked like brown patties from behind a cow. Good news though my daughter was back to work at the co-op ten minutes later. This place is always 🔥 lit….

What a wonderful place!! We took the Grands 2-9 yo and everyone had fun!! Including the big kids (The parents) The best part: seeing our Dakota Language being used and hearing Gwen Westermans voice 🥰🥰

Perfect place to spend quality time with your little ones. They are always changing up their stations to keep it a fresh experience every time you go, especially if you have a membership. The employees are welcoming and great with kids, and they keep it clean and organized. Bathrooms are clean. There is plenty of parking and plenty of fun. Make sure to dress your children in their play clothes. They will get dirty and have a great time doing it.

My MIL took my 3 kids (10, 7, 3) and they all loved it. We spent 3 hours there and the kids didn't get to all the exhibits. They loved the dramatic playspaces and especially the tree climbing. What a fantastic place for kids. We will be going back!

Today was our first day back at the children’s museum and I could not tell you how many times my child was bullied and trampled and peer pressured into destroying property… The other kids responses to me were “ I don’t have to be nice nor listen to you. I can do what I want.” No idea who’s with these kids etc I have watched and observed and couldn’t tell ya who they belong to. My child loves this place, but the last few times coming here have been brutal and have made me absolutely disgusted. No disrespect to the staff, but everytime we have been here they are always standing together in one spot chatting away and not very observant or interacting.

All day fun for the kids. They can run jump hop skip whatever they want. This is definitely worth the trip. Irs more like a learning fun zone. Great time
