Soak up Science at the Science Museum of Minnesota

Head to the Science Museum of Minnesota right on the banks of the Mississippi River with 370,000 square feet of exhibits.

Watch a movie at the Imax Convertible Dome Omnitheater, where the 90-foot giant dome screen surrounds you with the most stunning scenery on the planet. See the Egyptian mummy that has been in the museum for over 90 years. Witness the bones of many ancient creatures, including that of the Triceratops dinosaur.

Take part in a lesson about the Ojibwe tribe and learn about the ceremonial clothing, daily living items, as well as the overall history of these indigenous people.

Adjacent to the museum and overlooking the Mississippi River are 10 acres of outdoor exhibits, like the Charles E. Towboat. Grab the controls and enjoy the view from a real river towboat. Take advantage of the wide variety of indoor exhibits that are offered, including traveling exhibits and permanent collections.
