Science Museum of Minnesota

The Science Museum of Minnesota sits along the Mississippi River in Saint Paul and is packed with hands-on exhibits. You can touch, build, and experiment while learning about dinosaurs, the human body, and outer space.

It is famous for its giant dinosaur skeletons and its huge dome theater with a giant curved movie screen. Kids love the hands-on labs where they can dig for fossils and try fun science experiments.
